TIMEWAVE / APP FEATURES

What you can do with TimeWave

A set of practical tools for preparing and reviewing a watch time-signal attempt.

01

iPhone and iPad

The native project targets iPhone and iPad, with an iOS 15 deployment target. Check the current App Store listing for device availability.

02

Six signal station options

Choose from BPC, JJY40, JJY60, WWVB, MSF, and DCF77 station options across five radio time-signal systems. A watch must support the selected signal.

03

Standard and Enhanced playback

Use the standard profile or the premium Enhanced profile, which automatically adjusts playback frequency and volume.

04

Signal-specific variants

Try experimental standard or high-frequency BPC variants, or Classic Compatibility playback for JJY. Experimental modes are not a guarantee of reception.

05

Network time options

Use NTP-calibrated time, with cached network time and device time as fallbacks, or choose the device clock directly.

06

Environment checks

Review phone volume, battery level, ambient noise, and magnetic-field readings before an attempt.

07

Guidance and history

Follow phone, watch, brand, and placement guidance, then review saved sync-attempt history.

08

Audio route adjustments

Playback tuning adapts to the detected built-in speaker, wired audio, or Bluetooth route. Results vary by hardware.

09

Seven app interface languages

The app includes English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, German, Korean, and Arabic.

TIMEWAVE / HOW IT WORKS

A careful way to try

01

Check the watch

Find the exact model and the signal standards listed in its manual.

02

Choose a matching mode

Use only a signal mode that the watch supports.

03

Start manual reception

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your model.

04

Check the result

Wait for the attempt to finish, then verify the watch’s own reception indicator and time.
