I just bought this...
I know it's another Casio, but damn, these Edifice are like Nissan GTRs in car terms... Japanese, high tech, full of features long lasting and just freakin' awesome in that sense.
I do like the charm of mechanical watches, but basically I like all watches. I got this one mainly because I got a good deal out of it and it's solar. It's a large watch, at about 46mm across but surprisingly, it fits rather well and doesn't feel like there is a heavy watch on my wrist. It should fit well in more formal occasions.
I'll take more complete pictures later, but enjoy this one pic from me and the video below I found on Youtube.
Oh and lastly, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!

Thanks for posting your review, I also just purchased the Edifice EQS500-DB-1A2 today.
ReplyDeleteI really like its features, but mostly its classy good looks. It will make a fine sporting dress watch, am amazed at how Casio can make such a fine feature packed watch for a around the sub $400 price range.
Thank you. I am glad also enjoy the watch. This is probably the only reason Casio is so successful with their watches.
DeleteThat is a beautiful watch.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is truly stunning to behold for this price range.
