Extremely accurate time via radio waves for your wrist watch

There are 2 types of watches. Radio controlled vs GPS satellite controlled. The radio controlled watches use WWV, and the Satellite GPS watches like this one use a satellite that it can connect to while outside.

The radio controlled watches were much cheaper, about $800, while this one was around $2,220 with tax.

The amazing part is that by using radio waves, these watches are accurate to the second and you don't have to set them, ever.

The main difference is that since the radio controlled watches use WWV, it can synch while indoors, where as the satellite controlled watches synch to the automic clock while you are outside. Both use radio waves to receive a signal, they just come from different sources.

Which is better for sandy beach front/swimming area Sylvan Beach or Verona Beach?

I'm at Verona Beach now at it kinda sucks. Everyone in my family raved about this place but it sucks. I usually go to Glimmerglass but I want to try something different. The beachline here is small, they only have the shallow end open. I'm pretty tall so I walked to the end of the shallow area and I didn't even get my shorts wet. Is it just because it's a weekday? But still many people including myself have today off because of the holiday. My first red flag was how empty the parking lot is.

Should I just go up the street to Sylvan Beach? Is it worth it?

Praise God, it's a miracle! A miracle right here in Utica NY!

After 3 weeks, they finally fixed the gas leak at Chipotle! They say miracles aren't real, but here we are.

​

You know what they say, Rome wasn't built in a day! Some may say they're still building it to this day.

Does Waterville Central School do high-school reunions?

I'm the class of 2015 and there's been nothing. We're already at 11 years and there hasn't been anything. My 2 friends I still keep in contact with haven't heard anything either.

​

There isn't a Waterville subreddit, so that's why I asked it here. So, please refrain from any sarcastic comments. We're only a 20 minute drive from Utica.

Anyone know what's up with the car on its roof on the Court Street exit?

Probably some idiot going way too fast, turned too quickly, and rolled his SUV. He was the only one there.

I'm not sure why but nobody in this area does 60, its always 15 over or 15 under. It'd be nice if we all just met each other in the middle.
