# Remote GPS Watches The Citizen Satellite Wave Remains Accurate No Matter Where You Are By Meghan Young | Published 2011-10-18 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citizen-satellite-wave References: [gizmodo](http://gizmodo.com/5850460/citizens-satellite-wave-syncs-itself-to-the-heavens) & [citizenwatch.jp](http://www.citizenwatch.jp/satellitewave/) The [Citizen Satellite Wave](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citizen-anadigi-temp) is made for those who tend to travel off the beaten path. Instead of relying on traditional radio signals, this hi-tech time-teller and GPS uses the time broadcasts of [GPS satellites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-watch-ultra-3). Therefore, it will keep people even in the most remote of places on time, since it will remain accurate no matter where these people happen to be on Earth. The Citizen Satellite Wave may not offer any kind of navigation or wayfaring functionality, but the tradeoff is better battery life, which is crucial when off the map without any access to power outages. [Solar-powered](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instinct-3-tactical) and waterproof, the Citizen Satellite Wave will surely be coveted by many. Too bad only 990 of these watches were made then. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **GPS Tracking Watches:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a GPS tracking watch that not only accurately tells time but also offers navigation and wayfaring functionality. - **Solar-powered Wearables:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create solar-powered wearable technology that can be used in remote locations without access to power outlets, ensuring longer battery life. - **Limited Edition Collectible Watches:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Capitalize on the demand for limited edition collectible watches by developing unique and exclusive timepieces with added features or technologies. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Wearable Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine the functionalities of GPS tracking, time-telling, and navigation in wearable devices, catering to travelers and adventurers. - **Renewable Energy:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovate solar-powered technologies for various applications, including wearable devices, to provide sustainable and eco-friendly power solutions. - **Luxury Watchmaking:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce limited edition collectible watches that incorporate innovative functionalities, attracting collectors and enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rugged Outdoor-Ready Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/g-shock-1.md) - [Pro-Grade GPS Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-rangeman-gprh1000.md) - [Off-Grid Adventurer Timepiece Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-pro-trek-prg340b3.md) - [Posh Celebratory Pocket Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/special-edition-pocket-watch.md) - [Cinematic Monster Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citizen-godzilla-x-promaster-diving-watch.md) - [Off-Grid Adventurer Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garmin-smartwatch.md) - [Striking Indigo-Dyed Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citizen-30th-anniversary-ecodrive-aq410626l.md) - [Stealthy GPS Navigators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gps-navigators.md) - [Adaptive Navigation Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-coros-nomad.md)
