Hands down the best watch I've owned yet. I've always been intrigued by the touted accuracy of the many radio controlled watches out there, and have finally decided to try one for myself. Now I have to say that I am very much impressed. When I first received my watch, I checked the current reference position to see if it needed any adjustments, which it didn't, so I set it to the correct timezone and haven't had to mess with any of the settings since.

I live on the edge of the radio frequency, so when I first received the watch it would sync maybe three or four times a week. But my experiences with this watch has quickly shown me that it is not necessary for it to sync every single night. It still has the timelessly accurate and dependable quartz movement so it would take months of no syncing for just the seconds on the watch to be off. Now as we all know February only has 28 days, and four days before the 28th and a day after, my watch failed to sync but still correctly adjusted the date. Proving to me that it is certainly not necessary to sync every night for even the date counter to adjust itself properly at the end of the month.

I was intending to test out the same theory for the recently passed daylight saving time, but the watch has been syncing with the radio tower every night now since about the fourth or fifth day of March (currently the 16th at the time of this review). I have no idea how the sync patterns for my watch have changed in such a way, but I do believe that the watch would have correctly adjusted itself for that as well had it not synced that night. If not there is always manual sync available which you can try until you finally get the watch to sync. There was one day though where I must have tried to manually sync the watch around 12 times throughout the day and ended up failing every single one of them... For anyone wondering, daylight saving time is noted as SMT(summer time), on the watch.

The last thing I'd like to mention is just to make sure you are extra careful when adjusting the watch band. This probably goes without saying, but once you cut the band, that's it. Citizen does offer several different models of this watch, with aluminum and stainless steel watch bands as well if you're interested in those. Now if you do cut your band too short on this watch, Citizen also sells replacement bands, but the wait time to get them is a bit long.
