SyncTime: JJY, WWVB & MSF

Radio controlled atomic time syncing: JJY, WWVB & MSF emulator/simulator

Features & Capabilities

SyncTime syncs the time on your radio controlled atomic watch/clock — even when the time signal radio station is out of range.

SyncTime is comprised of a JJY, WWVB & MSF emulator/simulator.

Why Use SyncTime?
- SyncTime is completely silent.
- SyncTime allows you to override the timezone with any timezone of your choice.
- SyncTime uses NTP time for the most accurate time (requires internet).
- SyncTime allows you to sync the time when the screen is off or when SyncTime is running in the background. This feature is device dependent as some devices may close or mute SyncTime.
- No Ads.

Supported Time Signals:
JJY60
WWVB
MSF

Due to the limitations of physics and the speakers used in Android devices, these time signals are the only signals capable of being supported whilst also being fully silent.

Instructions:
1. Turn your volume up to the maximum.
2. Place your radio controlled atomic watch/clock beside your speakers/headphones.
3. Activate the time sync on your watch/clock.
4. Select the time signal supported by your watch/clock.
5. (WWVB only) Select the timezone that is set on your watch/clock. Timezones include Pacific Time (PT), Mountain Time (MT), Central Time (CT), Eastern Time (ET), Hawaii Time (HT), and Alaska Time (AKT).
6. Press the play arrow to start syncing. After approximately 3-10 minutes your watch/clock should be synced.

Note: Watches/clocks which have a 'home city' setting may need to be set to a city which can receive the official radio station time signals. After syncing, the 'home city' can be reverted.

My favorite of any longwave time code generator I've tried. The interface is simple and easy to use. The timezone override feature is very well done, allowing the user to set multi-timezone wristwatches that apply their own timezone offsets as well as single-timezone devices that will need an altered time code in order to display the correct time outside the intended timezone. And now the app can even directly use NTP for increased accuracy.

Did not work on the first try. Followed up with a couple of adjustments on my phone. Now it works fine. Great that it is silent. I want to add a couple of comments that may help other users: 1. On my phone, if Bluetooth is on; my phone plays to my hearing aids. Since the app is silent a user may not immediately grasp why the app is not working. 2. It may be useful to determine the interval at which the phone itself syncs with NTP. I have observed variances between phones and my WWV clock.
