Citizen Radio-controlled

The precision of a watch that automatically adjusts the time and date

When you want the watch to adjust itself for you

A radio-controlled watch receives time signals from transmitters linked to atomic clocks and uses that information to automatically adjust the time and date. That way, you don't have to keep correcting the watch every time the time changes or when it has gone unused for a while.

Citizen brings this technology to watches designed for different ways of use, from everyday models to options with world time and features that are especially useful when you travel. The idea is simple: you can trust the time the watch shows without having to worry about adjusting it manually.

Radio-controlled Automatic adjustment Time and date High precision

Precision can also be convenient

Radio-controlled technology takes care of keeping the time and date adjusted, but the watch is still much more than its mechanism. The case size, the dial, the bracelet or strap and the additional functions determine how it fits into your daily life.

If you also travel frequently, some models include world time or different time zones to easily check and change the local time. That's why, when choosing a Citizen radio-controlled watch, it's worth looking not only at the precision, but also at how you want to use it.

Frequently asked questions

How does a Citizen radio-controlled watch work?

The watch receives time signals transmitted by transmitters linked to atomic clocks and uses that information to automatically adjust the time and date. Reception happens automatically, although it can be affected by buildings, interference, location or environmental conditions.

Does a radio-controlled watch adjust itself?

Yes. When it correctly receives the time signal, the watch can automatically adjust the time and date, so you don't need to make those corrections manually. Citizen states that its radio-controlled watches usually synchronize during the night.

What's the difference between a Citizen radio-controlled and an Eco-Drive?

They are different technologies that can appear together in the same watch. Eco-Drive takes care of obtaining and storing energy from light, while the radio-controlled system receives time signals to automatically adjust the time and date. In fact, many Citizen watches combine both technologies.

What is a radio-controlled watch with atomic time?

It's a watch that receives time signals from transmitters that use atomic clocks as a reference. The watch uses those signals to keep the time and date automatically adjusted, offering high precision when reception is correct.

Is a Citizen radio-controlled watch useful for traveling?

It can be especially practical if you travel frequently, above all in models that include world time functions or different time zones. That way you can check the time in other cities and, depending on the model, change the local time more easily.
