50 October 2014 www.womanthismonth.com The World’s First GPS Solar Watch A state-of-the-art masterpiece unlike any other, Seiko Astron divides the world into 100,000 squares, covering the 39 different time zones in the world. Embedded with Seiko’s patented, low energy consuming GPS receiver, this watch can accurately update time in 1/100th of a second in any corner of the world at the single press of a button. Once a day (or on demand), Seiko Astron automatically receives the time signal by connecting to four or more GPS satellites that orbit the Earth. This allows the watch to accurately pinpoint the time zone it is in. The Astron also runs entirely off solar power or any form of ambient light, making it a ‘no maintenance’ watch. Another unique feature is Seiko’s new proprietary anti-reflective coating applied on the front and back of the glass. This prevents 99 per cent of light reflection, allowing the dial to be legible even in bright light. Packing all this technology into a meagre 47mm diameter and weighing just 135 grams, the world’s first GPS solar watch is all the rage in the gadget world.
