Seiko Coutura and Astron not successfully syncing

[kkramme]

Hello All

Quick question:  Although I love my Seiko Astron SSH139J and my Seiko Coutura SSG009, there is a puzzle -- it appears they are showing the correct time and date, but when I check if they have synced, it show "n".  

I have them next to a window (when they sync late at night).

Also, I have the Radio Wave Sync app on my iPhone, but it isn't clear that this has any effect on the watches sync.

Any observations/suggestions?

Cheers.

Quick follow up:  Took my Astron to another "more open" location and sync'ed ok with one satellite.  Will test my Coutura again in an open area.

Where are you located generally?  Perhaps the broadcast station(s) are too far away?  Or are these GPS / satellite sync'd?

Thanks.  Am in the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.

The Coutura is Solar, Radio synced.

Seems like it worked ok initially, and now the date/time is accurate - but if I check to see the sync, it says "n". 

I have moved to other locations with no buildings around -- and aimed north, but no success yet.

Any ideas/suggestions?  Thanks.

Follow up: I believe it does successfully sync at night, but doesn't show a positive manual sync during the day.
The time and date are accurate so I guess all ok.
