Wave Ceptor
Provides stable operation of various high-load functions
CASIO’s original solar-charging system converts not only sunlight but also light from fluorescent lamps and other sources into power.
単に'wave ceptor'とある場合は日本の標準電波 のみに対応 もしくは 日本とアメリカの電波に対応している。旧いモデルの場合は福島局または九州局のいずれかに対応していたものもある。 GPSハイブリッド wave ceptor. CASIO G-SHOCK Official Web. GRAVITYMASTER GPS HYBRID WAVE CEPTOR GPW-1000. World's first.1 GPS hybrid radio-controlled, solar-powered.2 G-SHOCK.
Stable function operation
Generates ample power for smooth operation of various power-hungry functions, including time-calibration signal reception, 5-motor operation, alarms, sensors and backlights.
Large-capacity rechargeable battery
Continues operating for approximately two years* on a full charge, even in unlighted locations.
* with power saving on. Time differs with the model and usage conditions.
Charges even under low light conditions
Generates sufficient electric power to keep on charging, even with limited light from cloudy skies or indoor fluorescent lighting.

GPS satellite radio wave reception + Terrestrial radio wave reception
Two mutually complementary systems, GPS satellite signal reception and terrestrial (Multi Band 6) time-calibration signal reception, are mounted in a shock-resistant structure. Prompt analysis of current time and Daylight Saving Time data enables GRAVITYMASTER to display of the correct time all the time, anywhere in the world.

GPS satellite radio wave reception
Prompt display of the correct time worldwide
- ◆Reception of current location positioning and time data from GPS satellites
- ◆Time zone determination through automatic analysis of positioning information
- ◆Determination of the current location’s Daylight Saving Time status and automatic display of the correct time
Original GPS algorithm
Map data dividing the entire globe into a grid comprising 500 m units is prepared based on the positioning information obtained and used to identify the watch’s current location with higher precision. Rapid setting of locational time differences is enabled, moreover, by grouping and analyzing areas that share the same time zone and Daylight Saving Time.
Terrestrial radio wave reception
(Multi Band 6)Reception of time-calibration signals and display of the correct time, even inside buildings in densely built-up districts
- ◆Time-calibration signal reception in Japan (2 transmission stations), North America, the UK, Germany and China
- ◆Radio wave reception inside buildings*
*In the vicinity of windows and other locations with good reception - ◆Energy-efficient reception available
Multi Band 6
Time-calibration signal reception from 6 transmission stations worldwide. Automatic time correction realized in Japan, North America, Europe and China.
Shock-resistant miniature antenna
A shock-resistant miniature antenna constructed of an amorphous material achieves high-sensitivity reception of time information carried by standard time radio wave. Tough enough for use during vigorous activities, it also realizes stable, reliable radio wave reception from all the world’s six transmission stations
1-push display of the precise time in every area around the globe
Casio Watch Wave Ceptor
Access the correct time more quickly and more reliably wherever you go.
Even outside standard time radio wave reception areas, GPS time data is used to display the time in your current location quickly and accurately.
Wave Ceptor Not Receiving
Wave Ceptor Casio Watch
One-press operation
Hold down button at 4 o'clock.
(5 seconds)Positioning data received from 3 or more GPS satellites is analyzed (within 30 seconds to 2 minutes) to determine the time zone and Daylight Saving Time status, and the time in the current location is promptly displayed.
Subsequent automatic reception
Inside terrestrial radio wave reception areas
Time-calibration signals are received and the time corrected.
When time-calibration signal reception is not possible, time data is received from GPS satellites (within 7 seconds to 1 minute).Outside terrestrial radio wave reception areas
Time data is received from GPS satellites and the time corrected (within 7 seconds to 1 minute).
