They (some) are solar powered with a battery backup. There are 4-5 broadcasting sites that constantly emit a signal - telling the watch exactly what time it is. But if the watch is not in range of one of those signals, then its accuracy is limited by the workings of its mechanical innards. It would be cool if the signal was worldwide, but it isn't.

I just wouldn't want to be flim-flammed into believing the sat signal thing if it's really a bunch of bologna.

Which, by the way, should always have the tops sliced off, not picked.
Now you know that you can go anywhere with confidence.
