The advantages of radio-controlled watches are obvious: Once the radio-controlled watches have been set to the relevant time zone, they always display the exact local time. All G-SHOCK radio watches receive radio signals in most parts of Europe- some models even in the USA, parts of Canada and Mexico (area from the Fort Collins, Colorado transmitter within a 2000 mile radius), in Japan or China. The time calculated by atomic clocks is sent to radio towers. In Germany there is a transmitter of this type in Mainflingen near Frankfurt, in Great Britain there is one in Anthorn, in the USA in Fort Collins, in Japan on the Otakadoya mountains in the North East and Hagane in the South West and in China in Shangqiu. A unique feature of some G-SHOCK radio watches is that they can even receive the signals of all six transmitters.
Compatibility with all six transmission stations worldwide: Multi Band 6 is the world's first radio-controlled system built to receive time calibration signals from six transmission stations: one in Germany, the United Kingdom and in North America, two in Japan plus the new station in China.
