42 Positive User Reviews for Clock Wave

It works

Unable to receive signal for a long time. Tried a free app prior to purchasing this one and it would not work. This one worked great with my G Shock. Down to the second perfect. Now my OCD has calmed. Haha

Finally!

My Jungaus Mega atomic clock has a hard time picking up the signal from Colorado. Even when I place the clock near a window. I'd get the time, but an incorrect date. I put in a new battery, fired up the app and violà!

Works the first time.

Synced my citizen tsuki yomi watch today with no issues.

First try

Pretty sure I’ve never written a review for a phone app in my life but I’m blown away this actually worked. First try. Recommend.

Absolutely Works

I live in an area with poor radio reception, and this app has let me sync my radio controlled watch for the first time in years. Necessary? Maybe not. Faster than manual setting? Not really. But pretty dang cool. I’ll be using it over manual adjustment going forward.

Actually works

Was not expecting much but it actually works. No idea how but it does. Was able to sync my G-shock.

Does it was says on the tin

My citizen PCAT watch was unable to sync with Fort Collins for a few weeks. Paid for and downloaded this app and within five minutes my watch was back to normal.

Worked successfully on PMD56-2952

Worked great! Had more luck with this than some of the other radio sync apps on the App Store. It does take some patience though. I had to choose custom time zone -> UTC+9 to get the watch set in the right time zone. Using the Japanese domestic time option doesn’t work.

It worked in Florida (July 23, 2025)

Not sure how, but it worked. Sounded like some insect ticking noises but as I understand it used the wires in the speaker on the ear phone to send out a 60hz signal that transmits a few feet. Put g-shock GW-5000u next to it and 5min later it sinker. Bam! Nice job devs. I’ve heard the actual shortwave transmission but this was entirely different. Genius is what it is.

Solid Application Worked with Older Model Casio Watch

Worked perfectly on the first try. I had tried other applications and had no success. This application renewed my faith that my watch was working fine and there are good applications out there.

So far 100%

Just purchased this app today and tried it with my Casio 5610U. I’m 1/1. So far so good! Cool app!

Works great for my G-Shock

Works great for syncing my MB6 G-Shock. Takes 3-4 minutes with watch sitting about an inch from iPhone speaker.

Works as intended

I have rarely been able to get my Citizen to receive signal and this app fixed that issue immediately. I sat my watch near the top with the left side of the watch facing my phone speaker, and approximately 10 minutes later it was set correctly and fixed my DST setting issue on the first attempt.

Wow works

Whoever made this is a genius. Thank you very much.

Worth it!

This inexpensive very practical application works like a charm! If you have a radio signal device and end up traveling to a place where you can’t receive the radio signal from Fort Collins in the United States then this app is the answer. Get it now.

I can't believe this worked

I was totally skeptical after trying a similar free app that does the same thing but didn't work for me. Hesitant about paying but it actually worked. Weather station quickly showed that it got the signal and within 3 minutes, the clock was synced!

Does what it says it does

Does exactly and only what it says.

First time reviewing an app

Recently got a Citizen eco watch with atomic time and could never get reception where I live. Tried a few free apps with no success, however, tried this app and first time it worked after five minutes.

Works perfectly!

As the title states, works perfectly. Does require an internet connection for the synchronization of the time. Once that’s done, I followed the directions and was able to sync my Casio watch!

Works are advertised

Used the app to synchronize my atomic watch. I used my Bluetooth speaker and it worked. Don’t turn the volume on the speaker too high, or the signal will clip/distort and fail the sync. But as long as you can hear it so can the watch. Just keep it close to the speaker. Took about 8 minutes the first time.

Works as described

Works exactly as described with no bloat. I used this to sync my wall clock that wasn’t able to receive the WWVB signal over the air. Laid my phone on the face of the clock and it synced after one full transmission completed (indicated by the tics moving across the screen on the app)

IT WORKS!!!

I love my Casio watch, but for three weeks I could never sync it mainly because I live in a half basement apartment And I get very little sleep literally the hours I sleep are the hours that it would sync, but I couldn’t leave it anywhere else, but this app works perfect for two dollars. You can’t beat it.!!!

It actually works!

I have no idea why but this app does exactly what it claims to do. my atomic clock between solar activity, and Florida thunderstorms had not updated in a couple of weeks. I took a chance on this app and it actually works. The one thing to be aware of is that the speaker must be directly over the antenna in order for it to work correctly. synchronizing my clock during summer just got a whole lot easier. Well worth the money and I’m glad I purchased it.

Skeptical

As many, I was skeptical this would work, but living in a sketchy place for atomic clock synchronization I gave it a chance. It worked on my new G-Shock GW-5000U-1JF. Bless the company that delivers on what you pay for.

WWVB reduced power - Summer 2024

According to NIST, one of the antennas for WWVB was damaged in a windstorm. I didn’t know that until today and the unreliability of time synchronization was driving me nuts. Happily, this app gives me some ability to keep my watch close to accurate until the antenna is replaced. Yes, it does work, and it’s really clever. Made my day!

G Shock MultiBand 6

I wanted the most accurate time for my GW-M5610UBC-1JF and couldn't get the RCVD on the watch during the night or on manual mode (too far from one of the signals.) Redditors recommended this app and so I downloaded it. On the first try, I got the RCVD on my watch and couldn't be happier. I recommend that you do the procedure in a quiet room and do not move the watch at all until it is done.

Some serious voodoo right there

I live outside the WWVB range, even during the best of times. The northeast usually doesn’t get a good signal. I tried this app, VERY SKEPTICAL of it working with my Citizens Eco Drive watch. I clicked Transmit, turned the volume all the way up on my iPad, and set the watch in manual mode and placed it near the charge port. I waited about 8 minutes, and boom! I got my first OK pointer from the second hand. This app has some serious magic to it.

Worked with Casio G Shock

Acquired my first Casio with “Multi Band 6”, module 3159. I was keen to try to radio sync feature It took a couple tries but the app successfully delivered a signal to the watch. On the Casio I have DST (day light savings) set to Auto, and it correctly determined that DST should be “On” from the app

Was about to give up on the app….

As said, was about to give up up on the app using my iPhone—just couldn’t get it to work. Now I have tried my biggest iPad with the sound wide open and it works perfectly.

Great stable App

I’ve been using this app for a few years and it is great. The developer is very responsive to my inquiries. The app works and is stable.

Brilliant solution!

My G-Shocks used to sync to atomic time fairly consistently but they’ve had trouble of late. This app saved the day! It doesn’t hurt my ears like I thought it would and works like a charm. Every few days I’ll set the watches out next to my phone and within five minutes they show RCVD. Thanks for the brilliantly simple app!

Works well with my watch

I haven’t been able to get good signal in my area and the app helps with simulating the clock signal for my watch. Works great! Thanks.

Works flawlessly

Love it!!! Works perfectly

Came here after trying “Radio Wave Sync”

Speaking only for iPhone 12 mini. “Radio Wave Sync” didn’t work in any position- even with sound switches on and in all settings. Tried two hours- then got this app. Worked on one Gshock model. Tried old app on the other Gshock, old app didn’t work for it either, then tried this app and it worked again…….In short- this app worked for both Gshocks on the first try. The other app never worked. Again- iPhone 12 mini and Gshocks only

Works splendidly

I originally tried a free app that was supposed to do the same thing, but it didn’t work. So, I decided to buy this one hoping it’d work and be worth the $2. Thankfully, I can say it is! Works great for my G-Shock whenever I need to maniacally receive the time.

Works well once configured

I needed this app for my Citizen watch that was made in Japan, thus can only get the Japanese signal. I set the app to the Japan “station”, and then selected Japanese domestic clock time zone. I then set the watch to receive the signal and left it to do its thing. It successfully set itself in 5 minutes, perhaps less. If you find it finishes but the hour is still off, this may be because the watch itself was set to adjust a few hours for a time zone change.

Really Works!

It sounds nuts, but it really works. I have a wall clock that usually takes a few days to sync after a battery change. This app synced it in under five minutes.

Mixed results

I downloaded this app to sync my home weather station clock with atomic time. I placed my iPhone speaker right next to it and the volume at full and it wouldn’t work. Tried many times in many different positions. I finally got the idea to mirror my iPhone to my Apple TV and play the sound through my tv sound bar at higher volume. It worked first time flawlessly. Can you add the ability to stream to a Bluetooth speaker to get a higher volume than the iPhone speaker can provide.

It actually works ! ( A tip for those not able to sync)

After a day of trying and about 10 failed attempts, I have finally managed to sync my watch. I have tried playing it on speaker and attaching the watch to lead pipes to no avail. What worked for me is hanging the watch on the metal rack in my wardrobe ( it works as a signal amplifier) and placing my phone with the app transmitting right near the watch. The process took about 4 minutes

Worth it

Worth every penny I hope I can used this app forever the best hands down I try other apps and it’s just not the same Clock wave is the real deal excellent I use it for my G-SHOCKS & CITIZEN WATCHES 👍😎

Worked first try with L3 levels

I tried 3 other apps numerous times will fails every time. Bought this one first try. To be honest I didn’t even read the instructions activated my gshock for setting and I hit transmit button. 5 minutes later synced. Worth every penny for $1.99 you can’t go wrong.

It worked!!!

Just bought a G Shock 5610 and tried 3 times to update via the Colorado clock, to no avail. I live in Florida, so I wondered if it would be a little sketchy. Did 10 minutes of research on YouTube, downloaded this app and it was successful on the first attempt! Awesome!
