When you press the set button on an AL-HARAMEEN watch and choose your city, a database years in the making wakes up behind the screen: ten thousand cities across 235 countries and regions.
Where does the precision come from?
- Official sources first: wherever available we adopt the official authority tables — from Umm al-Qura to Turkey's Diyanet and Malaysia's JAKIM.
- Careful astronomical calibration for the rest: audited coordinates and true elevations from global terrain models.
- Manual review of special cases: high-latitude cities, past-midnight times, and the Hanafi asr method.
Quality control that does not compromise
Before any release is approved, millions of daily records pass sequence, date and value checks — a release ships only on a full pass. That same certified base powers the City Explorer on this site.
So when you read “AL-HARAMEEN precision”, it is not a slogan — it is an entire system working silently inside your watch.
