Cellular Watch
Clocks or watches that receive a signal telling the time | |
How about a time piece that receives a cel or radio signal
telling the time rather than having an expensive, redundant
on-board movement? The cable companies already send a
signal to the cable box showing the time. Watch prices
would
drop and everyone would show the same time. Time zones
would
adjust themselves with GPS to your wrist.

No GPS for time zones but radio-controlled time. [bristolz, Sep 07 2002, last modified Oct 04 2004]

This is widely baked, although it is far more common in bulky clocks and hand-helds than watches. Nevertheless, I beleive they exist, albeit expensively. Normally, however, they only check and correct their time periodically, and rely on their internal mechanism the rest of the time. |

I have a similar (cruder) system whereby my computer updates its system clock from a time server on the internet once a week - and I use that to set my watch. |

I have one, it has an internal movement though to keep time between synchronizations. It cost me 40 bucks on Amazon. |
