I have no doubt of that @Anonymous ....problem is the kids of today don't see Casio as cool and trendy
Certainly not a fashion accessory

I've had a radio controlled Casio for years. Not sure how it works now but intially the control centres consisted of London and Berlin.

I use one and now have one in the kitchen, more on how they work:
"There are many time reference centres located around the world, each with their own atomic clock. Every clock sold in the UK is programmed to receive a signal from our time reference centre that is located at the NPL (National Physical Laboratory) centre in Anthorn, Cumbria.
The atomic clock at the NPL centre was recently proved to the the most accurate clock in the world; with accuracy of less than 1 second gained or lost every 138 million years."

"less than 1 second gained or lost every 138 million years"
How do they know that ?

Stop being pedantic...I am sure there is a 'bit of science' involved....

Well they do pause the time for 2 seconds every New Year at the turn to synchronise the clocks and whatnot due to the eliptical tilt of the Earth so maybe it's something like that. Also it means we don't have satelites crashing into each other.
Or could it be because that guy from 1D is stressed...
