That “all around the world” leaves significant gaps: https://hagensieker.com/2019/11/17/multiband-6-what-is-it/

I had a weather station with an external antenna that could never sync, even during the night, even placed outside in the "best" side of the house on my neck of the EU.

A solar powered, low battery wristwatch that's never outside in the middle of the night will fare much worse.

It's interesting old school tech that works fine in the places where it does work.

For elsewhere, I guess synching through a phone is more practical. So far it works fine. I just hope it doesn't get deprecated (I do, unfortunately, have a feeling the Casio app will break before the radios stop transmitting).
