The uk also has a atomic time transmitter. The MSF signal is transmitted from Anthorn Radio Station in Cumbria by Babcock International, under contract to NPL. The signal covers the whole of the UK, and can also be received throughout most of northern and western Europe. It is monitored against the national time scale UTC(NPL) and corrected when necessary, ensuring that the transmitted time is always correct.

I’m not a watch collector, but this was my first nicer watch I’ve bought, I don’t count the Fossil I bought 10 or so years ago. I had been wanting a nice watch, and I’m a space nerd so this was perfect. I would love to see more from them like this. I would definitely buy one that had other planets on the face.
@@YoureTerrificChristopher ward has beautiful looking moonphase watches.. Can you put in comparison of Or compilation of10 best moonphase watches that would be great
I just bought this watch, with the blue dial. So far, after 3 hours with it, i can't belief how light weight it is. It's so great. I hope this watch will last me a good 20 years!
@@lostgrunt7833 I’m a fan of the blue. I like a little color in my dial, and this is a nice subtle shade. Plus, blue moons are a thing. That’s fun. I don’t think you can go wrong with either color. The titanium is great. It’s so light I forget I’m wearing it. And it’s slim. I do like that. It’s a 43, so if your wrist can handle a bigger size, then it’s great. I prefer a 38-40, but I wear this one a bit loser so it sits higher on my wrist. No regrets.
I bought a watch from AMZWATCH lightly used for my last milestone birthday. Don't wear it as much as it deserves, but not afraid to, either. It's stunning . Good taste, Sir.
I have many five-figure watches. Why do I find myself strapping this on daily? I love the way it wears, the scratch resistance of the bracelet / case and the VERY useful and fun complications. Highly recommended. I never gave Citizen a second look until watching this review. By the way, it’s the only device that captures the atomic clock broadcast in my high rise condo in Arlington, VA.
ive had mine for two months and no matter where i put it in the house it has never received the atomic signal. i think it senses i live in california and is trying to figure out how to give me the signal to get the f out of this broken state. honestly, it is quite frustrating though. love the watch otherwise.
Great watch. Citizen is one of the most underrated watch producers. I own an Citizen eco drive atomic watch since 2008. It’s still working accurately. Although it’s my daily watch it has no scratches on the cristal but many on the case. I think I‘ll wear it forever. Still waterproof!
They need to increase the number of Atomic Clocks to cover more areas, many countries can't receive these signals and that's a shame. That's the reason I don't buy Radio Controlled Citizen and Gshocks as much as I appreciate them. Great video Evan 👍🏼 thank you
There's an app for Android and iOS that lets out a series of high frequency bleeps and bloops from your phone's speaker and emulates the atomic tower. The watch syncs from that perfectly. Takes less than 30 seconds to complete - I simply do it every couple of weeks and my Citizens are in perfect time again.
Citizen is KILLING it last couple of years. The ltd edition ones they did of the 84 chronograph with the loft as Japan release only are phenomenal too. Also loved the weird square diver you covered a while back
That Citizen is gorgeous. As for quartz it is the new cool especially now in the modern era of Eco-Drive watches, radio control or GPS wave time, and the added functionality in movements without the astronomical price. Even brands like Grand Seiko have embraced quartz-based movements in their mechanical watches like the famous Spring Drive movement.
In fact, there are six atomic clocks/transmitters for atomic watches in the world. There is also one in Anthorn UK, which broadcasts on 60kHz (MSF). Casio calls its atomic watches Multi Band 6 and can receive signals from all 6 stations. These have been on the market for many years already. Too bad of Citizen to launch a new watch in 2023 that cannot receive signals at 60kHz.
It is a quartz watch but it is also an Eco-drive quartz watch. I absolutely love Citizen Eco-Drive. You pull it out of the box, set the time and the thing runs in perfect time for the rest of your life if you maintain it. The Eco-drive is the best movement ever invented. I love my automatics and the engineering of Swiss movements also, however the Eco-Drive is hard to beat. I have had a few Citizen watches for 15 or more years that have been running continuously without any service for years.
Tried on the Red moon version at the WIndup watch fair and fell in love. Been scouring youtube for video reviews and bam one of my favorite watch youtubers drops a review
Since this watch connects to the atomic signal, does this mean that as soon as I get it delivered to my doorstep, it would automatically be connected to the time in my area ?
I love Citizens. I've had more Eco-Drive and atomic watches over the years than I have fingers. They're just so perfect "doomsday tools" as they just keep going and going no matter what. My oldest Eco-Drive was from 1981 and still working perfectly without any maintenance. I'm particularly fond of a Citizen Skyhawk that I have. I mean, my phone and smartwatch do everything it does, but it has a different value proposition: no recharging needed. One day after the bombs fall, society collapses and we have no electricity, I'll be the coolest dude on the block with stopwatches, alarms and timers on my wrist. Hunt for rats in the sewers? Not me thanks, I'm busy checking the time in Kuala Lumpur. Oh, and kudos for the absolutely amazing scripts you write for these videos. Very engaging and the humor is really what separates your channel from all the other dry and boring watch channels.
I agree. I’d love to see this movement with GMT settings and atomic timekeeping bundled into a few more watches. Something pilot-like, maybe a sport watch or two. Will keep an eye out for future iterations!
The face is not the solar panel, The black area around the outside is where the power comes from, it actually reflects some into the inside where it collects the light.
As an aficionado of over-the-top Japanese radio-controlled photovoltaic watches and understated humour, I can't believe it took the algorithm a whole month to recommend this to me 🤓
Great video. I'm glad to see this class of watch (quartz, radio-controlled) get some much deserved love. Tech is artistry too and we should be talking about it with greater frequency on brands that are not G-Shock. (The already get plenty of love and deserve it.) If you like this watch, you will really love Seiko's Aston, a satellite watch. It's pricier but has cooler and far more practical tech. It's not going to win any beauty contests but it's a lot more attractive than anything citizen has put out. It was actually the first watch I owned that got me into watches as a hobby. I loved the tech first and then got into the artistry.
this is on my watchlist. I just bought an eco-drive chronograph with all the bells & whistles and he loves it. Got it on sale from Citizen store at 65% off. $550 watch for $230 total or something
It’s actually Tourbillon 😊 This is a nice watch. For anyone wondering about eco-drive or atomicité, I have a Citizen Eco-drive Skyhawks Blue Angel édition watch. Had it for 15 years and still works beautifully. It recently updated time to EDT on its own but in the suburbs of Montreal, far from CO tower, that doesn’t always work timely. But eventually does. What I don’t like about it is the computing dial. It’s serially printed with no groove so eventually the print wore off from rubbing on sleeves. These days, though, I sport a mechanical marvel. Not sure I want to go back. But still love the Citizen nonetheless. It’s a solid purchase.
I like the introduction: I have manual winding, automatic, and also quartz watches. And one electronic Accutron. Quartz is more robust, more precise, so works better for sport watches or beaters, and there's a lot of technology that comes with the HAQ such as my Grand Seiko SBGX261.
wanting a new watch, don't know if I want something like this or an automatic. already have an older citizen atomic model that is over 12 years old now and still works great - also have a swatch body and soul i bought when i visited Switzerland in 2010 that I have on my wrist now. looking at the bigidesign automatic field watch but they're always sold out...
Nice watch. But currently there are 38 active different time zones, according to Wikipedia. One of my past Citizen watches only supported 24 time zones, and I could not set it correctly to the local time once I visited Kathmandu in Nepal, which is at UTC + 5.45.
Just started with Watches. My First one was the CITIZEN H800. Love it. But then i have seen the Attesa Series. My Jeweler will get me the Hakuto-R. But i Already got my Eyes on 2 other Wachts of the Attesa Series. Citizen rly makes Awesome Looking Watches.
I have a pretty good mix of quartz and mechanical watches in my collection. I've really been enjoying my recent Tissot Gentleman acquisition lately. However, I've had the red dial version of this in my cart for a few days now. My hesitation is that I've never had a titanium watch, and I enjoy the heft of a steel watch.
Help, do i want the gray or blue dial? I like the counter balance on the second hand. I agree about the date window. That has a lot to be desired. Ive just found this watch led than a week ago. I've always wanted a moonphase, & have never gotten one. This will be my first! Just gotta decide gray or blue!
The first watch I considered "good" was a Citizen A-T. It was 10+ years ago that I got it. It's never off on time by more than a second and always chugs along. If I were smarter, it would be the only watch I own.
I didn't like any of the finishes to the Tsukiyomi and purchased the Attesta BY1006-62E instead . No moon themed watch dial , but with a sheer gunmetal black finish and the same features , for a similar price. Super happy with the purchase.
Thank you for the werewolf rumor, one of today's good laughs. Meanwhile at the train station atomic time keeping reminded me of a book about the scientific search that coalesced in the quartz driven clock, and subsequently the wrist watch. What an accomplishment back in the day that included the first moon landing. Synchronized time was so important partly because train traffic had to be coordinated across vast lands. Now, we have the hyper accurate solar powered watches, autonomous even down to within one second a year, or atomically reinforced, but the trains are still not running on schedule, not even along a 50 mile stretch. At least we know exactly how late they are, and I will be. That is, unless they're cancelled, which on my line turns out to be about as frequently as the daily equivalent of the turns per minute that the 1978 LP record of a howling Warren Zevon spins, along with me.
Great video. I’ve been watching this for a few weeks and now Macys has a big sale on it…so I pulled the trigger and ordered one. Can hardly wait for it to arrive.
Love Citizen watches! They keep the prices reasonable and yet as this watch shows they don’t skimp on complications. Also, I love this review! I’m all… Liked and Subscribed. Onward!
There are other options as well; a few years ago I ordered a Casio Waveceptor atomic watch direct from Japan. It has a solar charging watch face, and like the watch shown here, automatically sets it time from the global time keeping stations. My watch picks up the signal from the U.S station in Fort Collins, Colorado. The Wave Ceptor is not sold in Canada, but I was able to order it direct from Casio fo $175 CAD.
Question about the lume...do you notice it being a departure from the typical bluish citizen lume? In your vid it looks almost lightsaber green, but mine is almost like a pale version of that, and fades super fast...
Thanks for the wonderful video. Quick question: Does the watch support time zones which are not UTC adjusted in integer difference. For e.g. India which is UTC + 5.5 Hours?
You had turbo-encabulators in watches? How did you manage to fit a differential girdle spring AND cardinal grammeters into a small logarithmic casing WITHOUT substantial side fumbling?
Agree it's good money for value but I can think of a wide range of mechanical watches that will maintain their value or have it increase over time where every Citizen watch loses value the moment it's removed from its packaging. This is a very nice watch regardless. I'm a big fan of the cratered moon topography image on the dial
$850? Geez. I have a titanium Citizen watch with the radio control, perpetual calendar, eco drive, etc for which I paid $375 in July from Amazon. But it doesn’t have the moon phase party. Being neither a werewolf or a Druid, I’m coping.
I do believe there is a battery in there. I have a different Citizen with a similar type of movement. There is a power cell that holds the charge the solar gives it. It only has to be replaced in 20 years or so.
It's called a capacitor and Tissot started using them with their auto quartz way back. I own two, so it's just like an automatic movement and charged by the movement of you wrist.
Yes a few times it doesn't show if the actual moon in the moonphase glows or not the only reference is in the beginning of the video but you don't mention it.
A moonphase watch is actually the perfect application for a turboencabulator, as the hydrocoptic marzelvanes effectively prevent side-fumbling of the ambifacient lunar waneshaft.
Citizen makes some great stuff. My daily beater/work watch is a Ti Skyhawk & it’s phenomenal (other than having to press two buttons at once to adjust stuff (it’s complex)).
Just wondering if this is the same watch as the JDM version, but maybe without the moon background. Model BY1001-66E? Anyone know. Maybe if you don't like the moon background, it would be a good option.
Another watch you've convinced me to buy . Doing my homework first I checked out the newest Seiko Astron watches and was shocked. One with similar capabilities (no moon phase) is nearly $2000 more. And sure the GPS function is cool for syncing, if you're within reach of Ft Collins every month or two does that even matter? Great new piece from Citizen. Love the gray dial as the one you featured. Mine arrives next week.
Keeping the Analog dial in this day and age is like insisting on keeping the Rotary Telephone Dial. The watch manufacturers may think that they are providing more value to the users by providing rotating mechanical things, but it is just like the VHS tapes, that we know they have well past their primes and never coming back.
Amazing that decades ago the Swiss miniaturized the turbo encabulator, originally designed by Rockwell, while still synchronizing cardinal grammeters without loss of precision or accuracy.
Great Review, honest and full of the right facts, I just need to know one thing. I have been told that this watch does not work in Australia due to the radio signals not reaching there, is that true, and if so can you manually set this watch? The reason that I ask this, is that I owned a radio (Atomic) setting watch about 7 years ago, and although it worked in europe, it was useless in Australia. As that was seven years ago, I thought things might have changed since then. Also you seem to know a bit more about this watch than most, which is why I'm asking, and I'd like to know all the in's & out's before making a large purchase like this as citizen haven't been exactly been straight about this.
The uk also has a atomic time transmitter. The MSF signal is transmitted from Anthorn Radio Station in Cumbria by Babcock International, under contract to NPL. The signal covers the whole of the UK, and can also be received throughout most of northern and western Europe. It is monitored against the national time scale UTC(NPL) and corrected when necessary, ensuring that the transmitted time is always correct.
But no Citizen is set up to receive that signal, and the signal from Germany covers most of Europe and the UK/Ireland so it's okay.
The Anthorn radio signal is not receivable by Citizen watches, only bei Casio's Multiband 6-watches.

You nailed it with this review. Nicely done. From my perspective, there is too much space on the dial dedicated to the moon phase.
Also...do you notice "DR" stamped into the clasp? Any idea what that might mean?
Is there a better use of the AM PM function or its position on the dial ?
Question about the lume...do you notice it being a departure from the typical bluish citizen lume? In your vid it looks almost lightsaber green, but mine is almost like a pale version of that, and fades super fast...
Thanks for the wonderful video.
Quick question: Does the watch support time zones which are not UTC adjusted in integer difference. For e.g. India which is UTC + 5.5 Hours?
What’s your wrist size man?
7" he said
Cool piece, I just wish I crapped 100 dollar bills like you, so I could pick one up
I crap 20s, so it takes a little longer.
You had turbo-encabulators in watches? How did you manage to fit a differential girdle spring AND cardinal grammeters into a small logarithmic casing WITHOUT substantial side fumbling?
Easy, if you know how!!!
@@michaeljones1475 Do you?
They use panandermic semi-boloid slots. It’s really quite simple.
Agree it's good money for value but I can think of a wide range of mechanical watches that will maintain their value or have it increase over time where every Citizen watch loses value the moment it's removed from its packaging.
This is a very nice watch regardless. I'm a big fan of the cratered moon topography image on the dial
$850? Geez. I have a titanium Citizen watch with the radio control, perpetual calendar, eco drive, etc for which I paid $375 in July from Amazon. But it doesn’t have the moon phase party. Being neither a werewolf or a Druid, I’m coping.
Mitutoyo makes excellent Calipers if you are looking. Love this watch
I liked the werewolf joke, I am definitely stealing it.
Turbo-encabulators are what got me into time travel.
There are more than 5 atomic clocks. There is one in Cumbria, England which covers most of northern Europe.
I want this watch, and the tracking blood chips too.
I do believe there is a battery in there. I have a different Citizen with a similar type of movement. There is a power cell that holds the charge the solar gives it. It only has to be replaced in 20 years or so.
It's called a capacitor and Tissot started using them with their auto quartz way back. I own two, so it's just like an automatic movement and charged by the movement of you wrist.
Great review.. I really enjoyed the structure of it.
I LOVE citizen so much, but im a woman with a small wrist 😢...i so wish they made versions of these for us small wristed ones 😔
Is the moon incandescent in the moonphase??
Did you watch the video?
Yes a few times it doesn't show if the actual moon in the moonphase glows or not the only reference is in the beginning of the video but you don't mention it.
Cool watch! I've always wanted a reasonable moon phase watch.
A moonphase watch is actually the perfect application for a turboencabulator, as the hydrocoptic marzelvanes effectively prevent side-fumbling of the ambifacient lunar waneshaft.
This thing looks way too busy for me, it has chronograph buttons but does it even have chronograph functionality?
No
Wow, i thought the tech in my oceanus was the best, this is on-par and great design!!
Citizen makes some great stuff. My daily beater/work watch is a Ti Skyhawk & it’s phenomenal (other than having to press two buttons at once to adjust stuff (it’s complex)).
I got this watch in red and it's simply amazing beautiful dial and well worth the money! Went out of stock really quick in the UK
Extremely light compared to my other watches very similar to my plastic g shock GA2100
Is it a red dial? I keep seeing those watches that have a mix of purple in it, or that the red color is faded
Just wondering if this is the same watch as the JDM version, but maybe without the moon background. Model BY1001-66E? Anyone know. Maybe if you don't like the moon background, it would be a good option.
Another watch you've convinced me to buy . Doing my homework first I checked out the newest Seiko Astron watches and was shocked. One with similar capabilities (no moon phase) is nearly $2000 more. And sure the GPS function is cool for syncing, if you're within reach of Ft Collins every month or two does that even matter? Great new piece from Citizen. Love the gray dial as the one you featured. Mine arrives next week.
Did you like it?
I live in the Tampa Bay, Florida area, and it picks up WWVB to set the time every night.
@@ungabungus01not yet. Ended up buying a Sinn 105 UTC after seeing Evan's review. Need to accumulate more cash.
What a nice video. You have a new subscriber！Really cool offering from MAMACOO! I love the black dial. Great！
So impressive and yet we can never have the damn seconds hand align with the indices! damn it xD
I don't know why the one in the video is not synced I have the same watch and it aligns perfectly
I picked up the red one. It's pretty slick. My first titanium watch, almost too light for my tastes. Great watch. Thanks.
Seiko Astron next?
Keeping the Analog dial in this day and age is like insisting on keeping the Rotary Telephone Dial. The watch manufacturers may think that they are providing more value to the users by providing rotating mechanical things, but it is just like the VHS tapes, that we know they have well past their primes and never coming back.
Amazing that decades ago the Swiss miniaturized the turbo encabulator, originally designed by Rockwell, while still synchronizing cardinal grammeters without loss of precision or accuracy.
This one seems to be modified to supply inverse reactive current for use in moon phase detractors.
무게가 어떻게 되는지 궁금합니다
Great Review, honest and full of the right facts, I just need to know one thing. I have been told that this watch does not work in Australia due to the radio signals not reaching there, is that true, and if so can you manually set this watch?
The reason that I ask this, is that I owned a radio (Atomic) setting watch about 7 years ago, and although it worked in europe, it was useless in Australia.
As that was seven years ago, I thought things might have changed since then.
Also you seem to know a bit more about this watch than most, which is why I'm asking, and I'd like to know all the in's & out's before making a large purchase like this as citizen haven't been exactly been straight about this.
So can it run for life as long as it receives sunlight??
How often do you need to take that bad boy in for a flux capacitor alignment?
Every 1.21 gigawatts.
I live in fort collins! such a weird spot to have a radio signal
will it work in India? I mean the atomic function?
