I am still amazed by how minimalist the dial is despite the watch doing all of that.Īlso for 2015, we have the Citizen Eco-Drive Satellite Wave F900 watch that is also GPS-controlled but has a chronograph in addition. The watch indicates the world time in up to 40 time zones with 27 reference cities, and there is a daylight savings time indicator on the dial.
There is both a signal strength indicator and a power reserve indicator for the battery. Other features of the GPS signal-receiving movement are that it features the time and date on the dial, along with a day of the week indicator (it is actually a perpetual calendar).

Some of the key talking points of this Japanese quartz Eco-Drive (meaning that the battery is powered by light) movement are that with a full battery, it can last about two years that it has a top reception speed of three seconds (that means it often takes only three seconds for the watch to acquire a GPS signal, assuming you are outdoors and there is good reception) and that it has “worldwide reception area.” The 2015 Citizen Satellite Wave World Time GPS F150 watch includes the brand’s newest technology which is still among the slimmest in the industry (if not the slimmest GPS watches around now).

Just a year later, they were able to keep the same slim profile and positive performance of their GPS signal-receiving watches and include that final feature which allows the watch to update the timezone, making it a real GPS watch. The wearer needed to select the time zone, and then the global positioning satellite data would be used to update the time and calendar information.Ĭompetitor watches from Seiko and Casio did offer this functionality, so I knew that Citizen was working on it. Let me explain… Before 2015, Citizen used a technology in their “GPS” watches that allowed the movements to receive GPS signals but the watches could not use the signal data to update the location of the watch. I believe that Citizen has finally been able to include “true GPS functionality” in the Citizen Satellite Wave World Time GPS F150 – something that was sort of missing in the Satellite Wave F100. The new-for-2015 Citizen Satellite Wave World Time GPS F150 appears to use a similar movement as the F100 but with a different case and dial – but actually includes an upgraded movement as well. If you recall, I really enjoyed the 2014 Citizen Eco-Drive Satellite Wave F100 watch that I reviewed here. But well, that’s not where it all ends it stretches beyond that for the tech-minded population with its perpetual calendar, DST indicator, power and light-level indicators.Īccurate Automatic Global Timekeeping via GPSFor 2015, Citizen watches continues to push their useful (and cool) GPS-controlled watches that are actually improved this year over the 2014 models. The Satellite Wave-World Time GPS is a top-notch example of CITIZEN®'s innovative prowess regarding satellite technology! The best part about this watch is its timekeeping system has a worldwide reception and can detect time in 40 cities worldwide, divided into 27 different time zones.
