Atomic Watch Able To Sync Outside It Coverage.

I owned Casio G-Shock DW-1500J that has Waveceptor feature. It's an atomic clock, I always set the time manually because at my area doesn't has any atomic clock coverage, but why this watch every midnight it can sync the time according to JJY station with Japan Time although the signal coverage supposely doesn't reach my county that far away from Japan. How can it happen?

HF signal at night will "skip" and is able to be recieved over vast distances even globally with the right atmospheric conditions.
