What is multi band 6 in G-shock?

Terrestrial radio wave reception from 6 transmission stations worldwide. Automatic time correction available in Japan, North America, UK, Europe and China. — Reception is possible even when surrounded by buildings. — Signals are received during the night to keep the displayed time exact.

How does atomic timekeeping work?

HOW IT WORKS. A signal containing the precise time, day and date, measured by an atomic clock accurate to one second every 100,000 years, is sent directly to the watch using standard radio waves. This signal is picked up overnight by the timepiece which automatically adjust the date and time.

What is G-Shock Multiband?

When was the Tai synchronised with Universal Time?

TAI in this form was synchronised with Universal Time at the beginning of 1958, and the two have drifted apart ever since, due to the changing motion of the Earth. TAI is a weighted average of the time kept by over 400 atomic clocks in over 50 national laboratories worldwide.
