Automatic Adjustments Of Atomic Solar Watches

Adjusting the time and changing the batteries are undoubtedly the most tedious maintenance tasks associated with wearing a wristwatch, so automating both processes seemed like a good idea to me. Just how does an atomic solar watch work to accomplish these things? From what I understand, there’s a component in the timepiece that picks up a free radio signal broadcast of the official time. This is checked several times throughout the day and night, and automatic adjustments are made if necessary. Most atomic solar watches also allow for the wearer to initiate synchronization, so if you feel that the time is out of whack, you can quickly go through the adjustment phase.
