Casio Edifice Men's Quartz Chronograph Date Indicator Sapphire Crystal Wrist Watch EFB-700D-8AV

An extremely well made stainless watch that's well designed and innovative! I only collect mechanical or self winding I automatics. This one is a hybrid of sorts, being an automatic and electronic!

the bracelet is simply magnificent, the watch came in the original packaging but without a guarantee, otherwise everything is fine

Amazing looking watch and very solid band.

The media could not be loaded.  This is my first watch purchase over $100. Needless to say my ability to compare this watch to others is limited, especially since the only comparisons I can make are to fashion brand watches near this price (Diesel, Fossil etc.) That being said, I can easily tell the difference in quality between a company who focuses on producing high quality, well crafted timekeeping devices versus watches primarily designed around visual appeal alone. For me, $100 is a more significant financial commitment in what is today considered to be a nonessential, luxury item. However, once again comparing this to fashion brands, or even more expensive watches which I have had the pleasure of handling but not owning (Seiko, Citizen, etc), this watch is far and away more impressive at this price point.The quartz movement ensures accurate timekeeping, which in my opinion seems to make way for Casio to provide the impressive finish on this particular model. The stainless steel brushing is fantastic and doesn’t look rushed. Its unidirectional 12 to 6 brushed pattern is matched with a similarly brushed dial with applied indices that are, once again, brushed. The added accent next to the minute counter on the chronograph function matches the second hand with a pop of color which resembles that of rose gold, versus the yellow gold the photo hints at. I add this because I feel the photos do not do it justice as the light accents it all the better. The printing on the logo and the small numerics on the chronograph are easy to read despite being so small. Finally, the second hand lines up with the minute marks almost perfectly. Watches that fail to do this are a big gripe for me and tend to be more common in the cheaper price bracket, so seeing an exception to this is nice. The lume on the hour and minute hands are nothing to write home about but it gets the job done. The sapphire crystal covering the dial is a huge plus and will resist scratches much better than mineral crystal, which again is a huge positive in my opinion. Overall the dial represents one that could arguably be placed on a watch at a much higher price.The bracelet shares the same brushed finish with small areas of polish between the links, once again resembling much more expensive bracelets. It appears to be made of solid steel links, not folded, however it is difficult to tell for certain. The bracelet is kind of rattly, however it does not feel like a cheap rattle that you would find on most folded steel links. The bracelet was easy to adjust with the correct tools and features micro-adjustment. The clasp works well enough, however it does gap slightly more than I would like between the outer cover of the clasp and the link it covers, but this is minor. The clasp is sort of thin, but doesn’t feel like it will break easily. The buttons to open it however are simple and feel kind of cheap. They don't feel as secure keeping the clasp shut, however I have had no issues with accidental opening. The end links are odd, as the small square piece that looks like it should be part of the bracelet is actually non articulating and attached to the lugs without any way of removing it that I can see.This watch does not have a screw down crown. The buttons for the chronograph function seem to not seem to be very tactile which I would like to see a little more attention brought to, however they do not stick.I have not tested the water resistance, but without a screw down crown with quartz movement, it being rated for 10 bar (100m) seems fair.This watch is easily recommendable at this price. It’s nowhere near perfect, but I wouldn’t expect it to be. What matters is that the major functions work well, the finish is very impressive for what they are asking for, and it looks as though it is much more expensive than it is. If you are considering buying a watch from (almost) any other brand at this price, I would advise you to start here, as I suspect you will be much happier with the longevity this build quality will likely provide, all while offering aesthetics that rival anything on the market with this asking price.

My fiance loved it so much! He said it was a perfect watch. All the details of the watch are perfect as it is.

This is as good as Tissot PRX

Esta muy bien hecho, los eslabones del extensible son de acero maciso, no es hueco o acero doblado como en otros modelos de Casio. Luce más costoso de lo que realmente es. El acabado cepillado está muy bien realizado. En general me gustó mucho, es un gran reloj con un gran balance de costo beneficio. Bien por el Casio Edifice!!

Purchased during black friday in Nov 2023 for $118+taxes.This watch is every bit as beautiful in real life as it looks in pictures. Look at the pictures others have uploaded and also check youtube. It looks very industrial, like it was machined to precision. It doesn't really tve the feeling of a hand-made intricate watch. I'm surprised it is not more popular. I'm writing this review in Nov 2023 so let's see if it will get popular over the coming years. Now if you will excuse me, I need to go workout my forearms because this watch ain't gonna look good on my chicken leg of a wrist.

La imagen de prensa muestra un reloj con tonalidad mate en su corona y correa, sin embargo refleja la luz ambiental de manera discreta, es ligero y considero es modelo "semi-formal"Aunque las manecillas tienen una película fluorescente, es casi imperceptible en la obscuridad; aunque por mi está bien, porque deseaba un Edifice sobrio.

Worth it
