To get the Radio-Controlled Stainless Talking Watch to announce the time, simply press a button. Pressing the button again causes the watch to announce the day of the week and the date. An hourly chime function can be turned off, as can an alarm feature. The white analog dial has high-contrast black numerals and hands, in order to make them easier for users with low vision to see.
Note: The radio-controlled function will work only in the USA (except Alaska and Hawaii), UK, Germany and Japan. When outside these areas, the watch can be set manually to reflect the correct time on the analog face, but the announced time will not be accurately updated.
Compared to other time-signal transmissions in higher bands (WWV, GPS, etc.) long-wave signals have a number of advantages. They can go around obstacles such as mountains or buildings. Since no line-of-sight is necessary between the transmitter and receiver, a single very powerful station can cover a huge geographic area. Long-wave signals even penetrate the walls of most buildings quite well. Propagation happens mostly in the form of a ground wave, such that transmission delay is less affected by the variability of the ionosphere.
