Fucking Time Propagation (lemm.ee)

Just bought the GWM 5610U-1C. It was a tough decision choosing between the DW5600 and this, ended up choosing this because the atomic time keeping is cool.

However, I'm a tad annoyed that the time doesn't perfectly match with time.gov and time.is since the atomic sync doesn't account for time propagation, so there's like a fraction of a second delay that's noticeable. Other than that, the watch is fantastic and has most features I would want. (I wish it had barometer and altimeter stuff, maybe even compass, and dive rated so I can press buttons underwater)

…are you serious

Hey man, I admit there might be something wrong with me. It would be nice if Casio were to make the next generation of this watch to transmit to the clock to account for signal propagation

For what reason could you possibly need a watch to be that accurate?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

For it to be cool. I would like to know that my watch is as accurate as can be. Also, I feel like having it transmit wouldn't take too much effort. I could be completely wrong on that, it could be really difficult maybe that's why they didn't do it.
