I paid £1300 for my Titanium Citizen Satellite Wave, but to me it is

ultimate watch as it gets its time from GPS anywhere in the world.

Some mugs will drop £5000 on a Rolex and they don't even show the real
time.

Neither of those are (sic) really ultimate. Get a Hoptroff.

£20000 for a radio controlled watch that loses its transmitter update once
you get 1000 km from Mainflingen?

What a load of cobblers - mine will still be accurate in Antarctica.

But no one needs accuracy in Antarctica.

I just bought one of these as well - can yours make a phone call from the South Pole?

"Performed flawlessly for a couple of years in the Caribbean, usually when we were at sea and couldn't get a cell signal. Even then it was cheaper than the cell phone charges some of my passengers came home to. Quick and clear connections. Robust construction. Easy to use. Only 4 stars because it's too expensive and the price hasn't changed for years while the competitors have all come way down in price, closer to $500. But it was recommended for reliability and sturdiness."
