How can such a small device -- a wrist watch -- receive such long-wave radio signals?
 

Radium hath wroth:

Sorry, I am now extremely interested and frustrated about how the
wris****ch can be so tiny yet receive so long-wave signals.

Oh, miniaturization is easy. I prefer the laundry method. Throw the
laundry into the washer, add boiling water, and everything shrinks. Do
it often enough and your clothes become miniaturized. It's the same
way with electronics. Boil the watch in water and it will shrink.
Try it.

You can also manipulate the waves. Long waves are nothing more than
short waves, that have been passed through a medium that slows them
down (e.g. slow glass). Slow down the short waves enough, and they
become long waves. So, the WWVB watch is really working with
stretched short waves.

There are other methods of component and size reduction. For example,
simply leaving the watch in an exposed location will often make it
disappear completely, the ultimate form of miniaturization.

Just how does such a magical device work?

It works quite well. If it didn't, there's always the limited
warranty.

It seems to defy laws of
science that such a small device can operate at such long-wavelengths
of radio waves.

Yeah, that's a problem. Breaking the laws of science is quite common
and generally accepted. Just watch any action movie and see how many
physical laws are broken. If you defy a huge number of physical laws,
it's called science fiction. The problem is that there is no physics
police to enforce the laws and apply appropriate penalties to the
violators. The last time that was tried was during the Inquisition.
It failed. I wouldn't worry about defying the laws of science as it's
unlikely that you'll serve any time or pay any fines.

I suspect it's probably something those FBI/CIA *******s are going to
keep secret from us.

It's secret for your own safety and welfare. Were you to be properly
educated, informed, and receive a diploma at public expense, I suspect
the required effort and cost would bankrupt the country. Therefore,
keeping you ignorant is economically justifiable. Try not to take it
personally.

I want to know how such a tiny device can operate at such a long
wavelength. Unfortunately, that info is classified by the FBI/CIA, and
then won't let me or any USA citizen find out about it.

Well, I guess it's safe to tell you. Please don't redistribute the
arcane knowledge to the GUM (great unwashed masses).

The WWVB watch is not really miniaturized. The greater bulk of the
circuitry is hidden in another dimension. String theory postulates 10
or 11 dimensions, so there are plenty of spare places (branes) to hide
bulky and awkward circuitry. What you're carrying on your wrist is
only a small part of the receiver, as the rest is invisible. I hope
this helps.

I am getting so ****ed off right now.

Off? I don't think it would help if you tried getting ****ed on.

I am so interested in this wris****ch question yet I am so angry about
it because the FBI/CIA won't let me know about it.

Yeah, that's a problem when the government controls your brane.
