How do you find the black negative display, looking at buying this from argos to for sailing

@@sailingachilles7810 I took it back and exchanged it. I just couldn't get on with the black negative display. It could very well just be my age though, as there are many people who actually like the black display, but it just wasn't for me, because for me, positive displays are just so much easier to read.

@@SpecialBrewCan just to to say thank you for your reply and time, I'm stuck as only black available at argos for 100pounds

@@sailingachilles7810 You're welcome. I think the best way I can describe it is that with a positive display, you just casually glance at it to read the information, whereas with a negative display I found I had to kind of study and concentrate on it more - if that makes sense?

@@SpecialBrewCan hi yes makes sense many thanks and wish you a happy new year

Why 3 of them? 😅 I have a red with negative display.

@@Luebke2773 They make a red one with a negative display? I guess I'm going to have to own four of them. 😬

Wow I found the red one, a yellow one and a navy blue one. They all cost $400 to $600 on eBay though. My pockets aren't deep enough. ☹️

The black segments on the moon phase represent the part of the moon that you can't see. Anything clear or no segments is the moon that is visible to you.

Last year there was a rumor that the 2019 budget for NIST (The National Institute of Standards and Technology) didn't have any funding for the WWVB atomic time transmitter (which is the one that Multiband 6 is supposed to receive when a Casio watch is set to a USA time zone). So everyone was afraid that the radio station would be shut down and all of our radio-controlled watches and clocks would cease to synchronize. But there was never an announcement from NIST about any shutdown and the shutdown never happened. Rumors still persist that a shutdown is going to happen but I won't believe it until I see an official announcement from NIST. I've lived in Utah for many years now. My house is about 350 miles from the WWVB transmitter in Colorado and I rarely have any reception problems here. I spent a few days in Reno, Nevada earlier this year and the WWVB reception worked there too. I would guess that you'll be fine in Northern California. You may need to follow the tips included in the Casio manuals for their Multiband 6 products. They include: Put the watch near a window on the side of your house closest to Colorado. Avoid leaving the watch near appliances, monitors and other items which could generate radio interference. Stuff like that. Or... you could start with a cheaper watch (you can get a budget Casio Waveceptor for less than $30) or clock. I found small, travel-style alarm clocks from Oregon Scientific which have WWVB reception and you can buy them for under $20... or maybe under $15. If those work well where you are then Multiband 6 should work well too.

Thank you very much, I have my eyes on the AWGM100 models and I really like the M100s model from japan ( The white color ) for it's readability I found some use M100 models on Ebay that are pretty affordable so I might order one of those to make sure the atomic clock work in my area before I order the Japanese model.

That’s probably a good deal. I haven’t looked at the used prices lately but new ones are usually over $100. If it’s still in good condition that’s a happy note.

@@GoodTimekeeper Thanks 👍 keep up the good work

Did you ever get one?
