Casio Wave Ceptor Watches

Casio Wave-Ceptor buyer's guide

The Casio watches with Wave Ceptor wireless technology receive radio signals from Europe, the USA and large parts of Canada, Central America and Japan. If the Wave Ceptor clock is set to the local time zone, it receives the appropriate radio signal and can thus display the exact time. The Wave Ceptor radio-controlled watches from Casio are particularly suitable for globetrotters, but also for all those who value a sporty and accurate radio-controlled watch from Casio.

Casio Wave Ceptor

The wristwatches of the Wave Ceptor product line from Casio consist exclusively of radio-controlled watches, the display of which is partly digital, partly analogue, partly both. With the introduction of the WV-100D in 2004, Casio positioned itself on the market for radio-controlled watches. Watches sold in continental Europe usually receive the time signal DCF77 from Mainflingen near Frankfurt am Main. Newer models (from 2006) such as the WV-200DE can also receive time signals from other transmitters, such as the Japanese JJY or the American WWV, which can be automatically searched for or explicitly selected by the watch.

Models equipped with a solar module are increasingly being offered, in which the button cell no longer needs to be replaced (practically) despite the relatively high power consumption due to the frequent radio signal reception. These include, for example, the LCW-M models, which have been sold under the name Lineage since 2011. In the case of the solar models, this is a small battery that extracts excess energy from the solar cells. The energy of the fully charged battery corresponds to a runtime of about 6 months in the dark.
