anybody know if this watch receives signals from Atomic Clocks in Europa, Asia etc.. ?

Look up a couple posts . . . Rugby, England is theonly other one it can receive.

Since I live near Ft. Collins does that mean my times the best?

sooo which one do you think wore this watch ...Starsky or Hutch? haha

Ummmm, no. It receives signal in the wee hours, once an hour. It's not to recalibrate itself, but rather just to ensure that it gets a signal (ie. perhaps it doesn't read the signal at 3:03 am, but it does get the signal at 4:03 am).

Admittedly, however, because it checks every day, it could lose a couple of seconds a day, and you'd never notice.

Your answer is not true. I've had atomic sync'd watches for several years. The true test is that the time down to a micro-fraction of a second matches all other atomic clocks and watches. My watches match, always.
So - the watches do not lose time while checking the Denver master clock.

Why is Colorado the keeper of all time?

Less than 10% left. BUY YOURS NOW !!!

Because thats where NORAD is and NORAD has SKYNET.....

I've always been interested in one of these atomic watches, but prefer digital. After doing some research last night I decided to get a Casio G-Shock Atomic Solar watch.

Legend has it that Lincoln died at 10:08 - reality is that it leaves the most room on the watch face for advertising...

Has this item shipped yet?

Nope.

Mine neither... What's up Woot? It's the 23rd!

I just read about this earlier today: Sony-Ericsson's created a BLUETOOTH watch! This is perhaps the only thing cooler than a Solar Atomic watch! The Bluetooth watch displays caller info from your phone and allows you to control the media functions from the watch!

Yeah, well, before jumping on the Blu-tooth watch bandwagon, you might want to check which phones it's compatible with, especially the sony one. It's a great assessory if you got suckered into one of their phones previously. Kinda like icing on the cowpie. . .

Has anyones shipped yet?

Gatzby posted this yesterday, you can read it if you'll scroll up a few posts.

This is only the second business day since the Woot sold. Woots generally ship within 2-3 business days, so expect them to ship soon. Note that there can sometimes be a delay in updating the status, but that doesn't mean they haven't shipped.

Yup, but if you click your order number link in "your account" Woot also says:

Woot wrote:What's going on here?

Everything went smoothly. We'll take in all the orders, and begin shipping. You can revisit this page by clicking the order number link on the "your account" page. If your order doesn't change to "shipped" within 5 days, check in our community forums for news of any delay, post there, and/or e-mail our service department at service@woot.com.

The bold italic is mine. I'm taking that to mean 5 business days.

Never mind, I see I am not the only one to not hear from them yet...

I Do!

How come I haven't received an update for any tracking info for 6 days?

Same problem here... no information past the original receipt since Jan 18. Longest wait I've had here at Woot.

They charged my credit card the day of the purchase and no watch shipped. Are these guys for real?

This is my first Woot purchase, but if this is how service goes, it may very well be my last. I understand that handling a huge number of watches is quite a task, but at least give us an update!

2-3 days...yeah right.

Is there something wrong at Woot Headquarters???

I have been walking around for the past 7 days with absolutly no perception of time! If I had my "Casio Men’s Waveceptor Atomic Watch" maybe I would know if it is time to go to bed or eat my dinner!!!

WHERE'S MY WATCH , WOOT? I CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU HOW LONG I'VE BEEN WAITING!

You all have to be patient. They sold 2600 of those watches...that's alot to make a little old lady somewhere in Taiwan pack and ship when she earns $1.78 per day. Cut her a break!

Well, I guess I can understand that...but can whoever they outsourced their programming to at least update the status??

Yeah, I've been waiting for mine, too. I e-mailed woot, and got this reply:

"We apologize that you have not received a tracking number. Today, 1/24
is the forth [sic] business day and we should have received the tracking
number by now. We have been told that most have shipped out already and
the rest would be shipped out today. We should be receiving the tracking
numbers later today."

So... I guess I'll give 'em another day or so...

Can a person cancel an order at woot, I have only bought a hard drive once before. I guess it might be too late now. Thing is, guys, I have absolutely NO sense of fasion, I mean NONE. I don't want to look like an idiot when I apply for a job this spring, i din't know this was so retro, and I didn't notice the thinigs you guys are commenting about, like the lack of actual date.

I know I am a retro person, I still listen to Fusion Jazz, for instance, but looking retro could lose me a job offer I suppose. Gawd how I wish people didn't care about looks, it is shallow, period, but if you want to go anywhere in life, you have to have a good appearance. Imagine Alfred E. Newman as president, never would happen... But then again, we already have one that looks sorta like him.

Wish i hadn't ordered this, but I am on a bad budget and needed a watch really bad.
