Radio Controlled Watches

[A2Z]

I have an "illness". I hate clocks that are wrong. I can deal with ones that run a bit fast, I quite often set my clocks a bit fast as I hate being late, but a slow clock makes my teeth itch.

It's my problem and I'll deal with it......

I have a few radio controlled clocks around the house (you know, the ones which receive the atomic signal from Rugby) but I need a watch that does it too.

I know about the Casio Wave Ceptor range, I have one myself. However, they are a bit "sports". I'm a clean shaven, flabbily built, PAYE employee that sometimes has to scrub up well, so I need a watch that it a bit "smart/dressy". Something that doesn't scream sports/geek/ocd time accuracy guy.

So, an analogue radio controlled watch (I can cope with a "small" lcd screen), stainless steel or leather strap. A date window would be nice as although, despite contrary opinion, I do know what day it is, I can't keep track of the date for some reason!

Something like this but maybe a bit more classic.

Does such a thing exist up to say £300? (less would be better).

Good call. You're right on the prices though!

What about this one? A bit less "sports" than the one you've linked.

You know what I have a Junghans solar powered radio controlled watch that I have owned for 7 years or something like that, sits on my bathroom cabinet and I use it as I know its always right. I set my other watches by it all the time. Problem is it really is a horrible looking thing!!, never wear it, but it does a superb job. never needs a battery, never needs time ammending, the perfect watch some might say.
Dont quite know why it seems that junghans dont seem to do the solar powered with radio control anymore, unless I am missing something on their website
