Thank you so much for this tutorial! I live in Oregon and should be in range of the Ft. Collins, Colorado transmitter. But I've owned a GW-6900 for a few weeks now and haven't been able to get my watch to sync up with the signal. It's been very frustrating because, otherwise, I love this watch and I've been wearing it every day since I got it. I was just about to totally deactivate the MB6 feature completely (Casios are already pretty accurate) when I read about the possibility of syncing the watch via an app on my phone. I found your video and got it synced up for the first time!
Wow! I am so happy that my video helped ad it did a few others here in the comments. Thank you 😊 People asked me whey I would buy a watch whose main feature I have no use for. But after the first sync (before the video wss shot) the watch never gained or lost more than 300ms which is pretty impressive. You may need to do this once a month which is not a bad deal considering it only takes 3 minutes at night with low interference.
I also have trouble getting the signal sometimes. I have found that placing the watch in an east facing window(if Ft Collins is east of you) at night will get the signal. Also you can hang the watch on a wire clothes hanger near a window at night which seems to help draw the signal like an antenna.
Hello Harmin from Surat. You are welcome. Now you know. I am reviewing the GD-350 tomorrow. Do come back to check it out 😊 Thank you for your support of the channel 🙏
I had tried it a long time ago. But the effort is not enough to justify changing the time zone, waiting for 3-10 mins for it to sync and the speaker sound is also quite irritating to be in the vicinity. I find it quite quicker to just sync manually while looking at the atomic time online like we do for all quartz watches. Just my two cents. It'd be great if India too could start with the atomic time signal broadcast. Lets just write a petition to the govt for making the atomic IST time signal available to public. LOL.
Yes. I have set all my watches by looking at the Atomic Clock and setting accordingly. I don't want to have sleepless nights thinking I paid to have a MB6 watch and I ain't using that feature haha.. also, being an ex-engineer geeking out on features such as these is our thing.

@@TickTockTreasures Namaste brother, I reside in the UK and am planning to get a new classic square G-Schock.

@krisnaive Namaste bro! All are good watches. You have to ask yourself this- do you need Bluetooth? Do you have use for it?

@@TickTockTreasures Thanks a ton for your precious suggestion. I thought the new GW-5600CY has Bluetooth which can sync with my iPhone for an accurate time and I thought the 5610U is a bit old.

Mine G5600UE-1DR (tough solar) doesn't have multiband 6 but it still has a RCVD indicator. Although it's always off and there's no way to find out what it does. Why did casio put this indicator on a non-multiband 6 watch? Any idea? Mine's original Gshock and got it registered on the casio website for the extra warranty period.
Merci pour cette video,bravo! J'habite en Grèce ,je pourrai l'appliquer sur ma montre avec le fuseau horaire DCF 77 ? j'ai essayé mais ça n'a pas marché.....Merci d'avance pour votre aide😉
Where did you get this watch in India? I am from India but nowhere i found this watch.. No online platform has this watch, not even in casioindia website. I really need this watch.. plz help.
Hey Dusky! I had to buy this directly from Japan. I ordered on Amazon US from a seller in Japan. They had a discount and I figured even if I paid customs it would come up to the price if it were sold in India. So, it was a good deal
The app is supposed to transmit the phone time maintaining the signal transmitting protocol of that specific station. That means the app is transmitting India time in the mode of BPC. If I'm not wrong, the watch should display India time despite the home city is selected as Beijing. Now if you switch back to Delhi, the watch should display the time which is 2.5 hours behind. Did you change the time zone of the phone first? Or the app automatically displyad China time of it's own? Nice Video BTW.
As per instructions of the App developer, there was no need to change the time zone on the phone. The app transmits the time transmitted by BPC and for that the watch needs to be set at the corresponding time zone (either Hong Kong or Beijing). The button won't switch to MB reception mode if the watch is set to any time Zone that is not programmed to receive the signal. Hence, Delhi won't work.
Brother, why my GWM 5610 always shows my dubai time as one hour more always. Even when im selecting the city from in built, its always one hour more. It happens only for when Im selecting Dubai city. Could you please explain why?
The reason is Dubai doesnt support Atomic time receiving and I turned off DST. When im turning off that, it shows correct time and turning on, it shows one hour more. So ts fixed now.
@maneesh_acharya_pradhan There is no model that is DW-5600 UE. It is the G-5600UE which is the basic G with tough solar. And no that doesn't have Multiband
Additional hack to avoid the frequent hassle with receiving... Turn off the Multiband 6 completely, on your watch. Wait for a month and then compare your watch time with the atomic clock. See how much time your watch gets or loses per month. For instance, if your watch loses 1 second per month, turn on the signal receiving, get the correct time, and then wind it up forward for 6 seconds. That means you have to manually correct the time on your watch only every 6 months, or just twice per year.
@@TickTockTreasures I'm doing that for 2 years now. And it's always on the point. I'd say that also keeps the battery from deteriorating faster. And I've heard some solar G-shock batteries last almost for 2 decades now... and still keep going on.
@damyr yes, it's a good feeling when your watch is accurate to the second. I have heard about that solar ones lasting 15-20 years before they need a battery change. Impressive! Well done, Casio 👏
It doesn't make any sense. If watch is gaining 1 sec a month, Why should the watch be 6 second ahead so that it get synced after 6 months It takes 4 second to adjust seconds to your mobile clock. When watch goes +-3 or 4 sec, just re sync it. Easy as that
@@TickTockTreasuresbut for solar you need to keep it in sunlight, and thats a tension if you 12 or 24 watch collection. Just buy a normal 10 year g shock and change the cell after 10 years, assuming u still want to wear that watch again after 10 years 😅 Solar is over rated. Makes sense only if you have 2-3 watches in collection. Normal Quartz is most superior.
Which one do you have? If you have the Multiband 6 please follow the video.. follow the steps in the video and it should work. If has for most people who followed the steps
That's too much hassle. Why not get a G-Shock model with Bluetooth? You'll also get an opportunity to configure your watch from your smartphone. I live within the range of the German time signal transmitter, but I still find Bluetooth to be a more reliable option for synchronizing time on my G-Shock. Unless you really want a model that does not have Bluetooth... Unfortunately, the selection of Bluetooth-enabled G-Shocks is currently limited.
I have a Bluetooth G-shock on the way. You should come back to see it - it's the GMW-B5000. I am really excited to check it out. I wanted this 5000U for multiple reasons which I explained in the unboxing video. Being an ex communications engineer, I find great pleasure in doing what I did here. I mean, we have done super complex projects in grad school, so this felt fun. But, I will explore the Bluetooth feature in my next one, hopefully in 2 weeks' time 😃
@TickTockTreasures You'll like it. Radio time signal is such an outdated technology that there are proposals to sunset it every now and then. I appreciate that you like to tinker (I still like to myself 20 years after my graduation.), but Bluetooth sync works 100% automatically twice a day at the expense of having another app running on your smartphone in the background. For me, it's a winner - I no longer have to place my watch at the windowsill for the night, as these are the prerequisites for the successful reception of DCF77 signal in my place.
@vatazhka that's amazing! I can't wait to check it out. I always spend about a week or so trsting out the watch in all situations before doing a review. In fact, that's the reason I haven't reviewed the 5000u yet because I am still experiencing it. The multiband is one of the points I want to discuss. Thank you for your inputs. I really appreciate it 🙏
I do not understand; the watch receives an RF signal to set time, so it should not have anything to do with the phone's speaker - which, while audio it is a waveform, is effectively energy propagating through air molecules as opposed to an RF signal which is a combination of electric and magnetic waveforms at righ angles to each other. Additionally, the watch's radio receives time transmissions via specific frequencies, and even though the phone is a radio, I am not sure it can transmit RF at the required frequencies. Somehow, after watching this video it does seem to work - I am just not sure how it works. Gosh thinking about this as I am typing, if the phone is somehow able to transmit an RF signal that the watch can pick up, it should not matter which time station you select - the phone should be capable of setting the watch based on its own time within the same time zone you are in. I am not doubting the veracity of this video - I am just confused about the technology involved. LOL I have the GW-5000u - and in fact it is my favorite watch - and I am also somewhat familiar with RF transmissions, being a ham radio operator. I am just not sure how this would work is all. LOL
If you being a Ham radio operator has you mind boggled imagine me haha I racked my brains when I saw this being done on TH-cam. I had questions just like you did. The app is specific about keeping the phone volume up for this process to work which got me confused. I was so excited about this watch that I didn't think of trying this without the sound ON to see if it worked. I might just try that this week. Based on what I read, the app picks up the Atomic time from the NTP server via the Internet and transmits the time data as sound wave. But I am confused as to how the receiver in the watch that is designed to pick up radio waves of set frequencies receives sound waves of the same frequencies. I need to revisit my grad school lectures haha
@TickTockTreasures I believe that the part of a circuit connected to the speaker emits radio frequency signals that can be manipulated to mimic time sync signals by playing sounds at specific frequencies at the right time. This is known as TEMPEST.
@@TickTockTreasures Ja, das kann sein. Mein Kommentar war ein Hinweis auf einfachere Methode. Aber wenn man gar nicht weiß, wie es geht, dann ist Dein Weg besser als keiner! Alles gut!
No need for app. Put watch on radiator or something with metal frame. You could even boost through a coaxial to attenna touchingback plate of the watch. 😊
All these towers should ideally be transmitting in GMT only, and then let the watch translate that according to the time zone set on the watch. There shouldn't be any need to have the home time match the tower time.

I do not understand; the watch receives an RF signal to set time, so it should not have anything to do with the phone's speaker - which, while audio it is a waveform, is effectively energy propagating through air molecules as opposed to an RF signal which is a combination of electric and magnetic waveforms at righ angles to each other. Additionally, the watch's radio receives time transmissions via specific frequencies, and even though the phone is a radio, I am not sure it can transmit RF at the required frequencies. Somehow, after watching this video it does seem to work - I am just not sure how it works. Gosh thinking about this as I am typing, if the phone is somehow able to transmit an RF signal that the watch can pick up, it should not matter which time station you select - the phone should be capable of setting the watch based on its own time within the same time zone you are in. I am not doubting the veracity of this video - I am just confused about the technology involved. LOL I have the GW-5000u - and in fact it is my favorite watch - and I am also somewhat familiar with RF transmissions, being a ham radio operator. I am just not sure how this would work is all. LOL
If you being a Ham radio operator has you mind boggled imagine me haha
I racked my brains when I saw this being done on TH-cam. I had questions just like you did. The app is specific about keeping the phone volume up for this process to work which got me confused. I was so excited about this watch that I didn't think of trying this without the sound ON to see if it worked. I might just try that this week.
Based on what I read, the app picks up the Atomic time from the NTP server via the Internet and transmits the time data as sound wave. But I am confused as to how the receiver in the watch that is designed to pick up radio waves of set frequencies receives sound waves of the same frequencies. I need to revisit my grad school lectures haha
Yea, I am curious as well; in fact you have inspired me to do some experimentation with my own watch and phone as well. We should compare notes.
@@theresamclaird1572 I am going to do that this week then. Let me know how it goes please.
@TickTockTreasures I believe that the part of a circuit connected to the speaker emits radio frequency signals that can be manipulated to mimic time sync signals by playing sounds at specific frequencies at the right time. This is known as TEMPEST.
Aber Du könntest es Dir einfacher machen und eine Zeitzone auf BEJ einstellen und dann auf HT "swappen". Das ginge wahrscheinlich schneller, oder? 😉
I don't understand your comment. Most people found the directions helpful
@@TickTockTreasures Ja, das kann sein. Mein Kommentar war ein Hinweis auf einfachere Methode. Aber wenn man gar nicht weiß, wie es geht, dann ist Dein Weg besser als keiner! Alles gut!
No need for app. Put watch on radiator or something with metal frame. You could even boost through a coaxial to attenna touchingback plate of the watch. 😊
I will try that. Old school.
All these towers should ideally be transmitting in GMT only, and then let the watch translate that according to the time zone set on the watch. There shouldn't be any need to have the home time match the tower time.
Yeah! That would make life easy haha
I use this app when i need to set watches from friends on work
That's awesome. You are a good friend. It's fun isn't it?
@@TickTockTreasures yes, one friend has Citizen navihawk and the other g-shock gw-4000 and when they don't get a signal I do it through the app.
@MrDanijelho ooh I would definitely want a Gravity master. I am going to check out Navihawk.
150000 with only
What's that?
All this effort to just set time.?
Yes. It is fun ☺️
No point
