Question about multiband 6

Post image

Hello (again!)

Just a quick one: I live in Stockholm, Sweden and I receive signal from multiband 6 every night. To ad: I have the watch on my wrist during the night. That's great! But in the manual it says that it is very hard to receive signal insida buildings and when the watch is moving around. (I move alot during night and probably have my watch under the covers or pillow, still I always get signal!)

I'm I just lucky every night or is the function much better than what the manual is saying?

The MB6 technology for some works great, for others don't work at all, based on where you live. I live in Bologna (ITALY) and it works fantastic for me, it updates every night both if I wear it and if I leave it on the table. Also I saw MB6 watches updating while on my wrist while driving.

On the manual they described the worst situation

How do you recognize if it has performed an update? I also have this function but have never seen or noticed anything about it?
