Options for automatically syncing watches in India

[B_the_B]

It would be great a see a homegrown brand like Titan do something about this. I remember, a few years back they had created a watch for digital payments partnering with SBI.

Similarly, I am talking about a watch with provision for a SIM card, without data connectivity/telephone capabilities, and it can only receive time signal. They can partner with GSM providers like Jio, Airtel, etc. And it can sync every month or so based on the accuracy of their quartz movements. Can be implemented on clocks too.

Yeah but demand for something like this would be pretty low, you need a tech focussed company to do things like this.

True. Sadly, as the watch industry is shifting towards smart watches, we may never see something like this happen.

Did you get anything yet though?

If you haven't, I'd like to recommend the Casio B5600 series. It has bluetooth as well multi band 6. So both the options explained in the replies above can work for you.

Turn heads and grab attention with a rugged timepiece boasting a bold, eye-catching black and yellow color scheme. Tough, yet stylish designs feature basic black, accented with touches of the bright yellow used for emergency rescues and safety signs. A cool, versatile look that complements...

Nothing yet, it's not an essential purchase for me. If I had to buy right now I'd probably get some bluetooth Casio.

radio watch sync - Apps on Google Play

sync your radio watch anytime and anywhere

play.google.com

The app works going by the reviews. However it syncs off your phone time. So if that's in sync you're good

Another app that does the same thing and is free. Should work with any radio synchronised watch.

The advantage of this app is it uses NTP time unlike the other which uses the phone time

have you looked into this?

I was gonna suggest using a SDR transceiver to setup a personal transmitter, but using the speaker to generate an electromagnetic wave that the watch can pickup is pure genius!
