Reception Help for Radio Controlled Clocks and Watches

Are you familiar with clocks and watches that can set themselves to the correct time automatically? Some are sold as “Atomic Clocks” but, technically, they usually have built-in radio receivers allowing them to receive time data from a real Atomic Clock. Since I live in the USA, the Atomic Clock I depend on is the one at the National Institute of Standards and Technology campus in Boulder, Colorado. The time from that clock is broadcast from Fort Collins, Colorado on radio station WWV (audio) and WWVB (digital data). Most consumer-level radio controlled clocks are set to receive WWVB, which gives them the correct time (right down to the second!) along with date information and Daylight Saving Time cues too. Reception is best during the night, so most of those clocks and watches will automatically try to receive at night and then update their own time accordingly. But what if the WWVB reception isn’t clear where you live? What if you spend the extra money for a clock or a watch with an Atomic Clock receiver but it doesn’t work for you? Does this mean that the technology is a gimmick? Does this mean your clock or watch is junk? I would say absolutely not. There are reasons why your radio controlled clock or watch may not be able to consistently set itself to the right time. In this video I explain a few things about the technology behind these radio controlled clocks and watches, along with some troubleshooting tips if you want to find ways to make them work better for you. I know that we live in a world full of impatience. Folks expect a product to work perfectly the first time they set it up and they don’t like to have to read instructions. However, folks are also very tolerant of certain products without realizing how much they cut them extra slack. Do you have a computer that NEVER crashes? I doubt it. And, while it can be frustrating to lose time and work because a computer failed, we are likely to just regard that as a normal thing, reboot the computer and try to find the best point to start over. It’s the same with our beloved smart phones, tablets, media players, Wi-Fi routers and much more. So why not take a few minutes to better understand how radio controlled clocks and watches work? Why not use this knowledge to help your device do its job better? In the short term, it may seem like a bother because this thing didn’t work flawlessly for you with minimal effort on your part. But with a little, normal tinkering you may be able to clear up problems and keep your device working very well for years to come.
