Review: Expensive, quality watch for very little money. - What can I say about this watch..... I recently bought a G-Shock which didn't really suit me. I then found that Casio also have Edifice brand watches, I was tempted to buy this watch simply by the price. The RRP for the watch is £250, but it was available for less than half that price. I used free super saver delivery and thought it might take at least a couple of days, but to my surprise I received the watch next day ! Well done desertcart. My impressions ...... 1. Watch looks very classy and a bit brash. What I mean by that is, it looks very striking and in sun it will draw a bit of attention due to its "blinginess" . 2. Functions. The watch is very easy to setup, just like a traditional watch. Chronograph works well and keeps time accurately. 3. Built like a rock. The watch is very solid and is waterproof to a 100m, so its not going to fall apart very soon. 4. Watch is not too large. I have read people who say the watch is too large, but I can tell that the watch is medium size. The face is not very big in diameter and the thickness is noticeable at first but becomes second nature after wearing it for a few days. 5. Watch bracelet is very large. I had to remove two links from each side. This depends on the size of your wrists. It is fairly inexpensive to adjust the size, so don't be put off by this. All watches have large straps. 6. The face is very busy and has lots of shiny dials as stated in my first point. The time is fairly easy to read due to the silver accents on the watch face. Much easier to read time than a G-Shock in my opinion. Would I recommend this watch ? Absolutely ! I have never had a watch with so much quality and craftsmanship gone into its making. Yes it might be a bit "shiny" for some but if you are a sort of person, who has great taste in quality items then this is the watch for you. I think the chronograph is just for novelty, but if you use it then this should work just fine. NOTE : If you don't like the bracelet, you can always use a black (or any colour) leather strap which would suit the watch very well. Review: My review. - This is a chunky, heavy chronograph watch with a slide rule bezel. It really looks impressive. The watch comes in a cardboard box which lets the watch down. Casio G-shock watches come in a presentation tin which looks much better. Strange that G-shocks are meant to be utility watches but Edifice watches are classier. The hands and hour markers have adequate lume but fall short of the best. There is no light. I can hear no ticking even when the watch is pressed against my ear. Note that the second hand is on the small dial at the 6 o'clock position. The third hand on the main display is for the stopwatch so don't panic that the watch isn't working when you take it out of the box for the first time or try to set the watch. The strap is made of sold not folded links which adds weight and prevents the bracelet pulling on wrist hairs. I found adjusting the length by removing links very difficult because the pins are wedged tight. Best to take it to a jeweller. I have put mine on a NATO strap and it looks good; the strap width is 22mm. The instructions are laughably brief. No mention of the screw down crown or how to use the slide rule bezel. I note a lot of negative reviews based on 'faulty' crowns and lack of water resistance. Serves Casio right for not explaining what to do. If you search 'slide rule bezel' you can find out how these things work but I suspect most people will never want to use this feature. I'm old enough to have used a slide rule and understand what it's all about but I can't see myself ever choosing this watch over the calculator on my phone. Still, it's fun to play with. The watch movement is a Miyota by Citizen. This is a reliable and safe choice by Casio. If you look at Casio G-shock watches with a second hand and one of Casio's own movements you'll see there are significant quality control problems there. ## Features - Case - - Case Material: Stainless Steel (brushed/polished) - - Case Shape: Round - - Case Colour: Silver - - Bezel Function: Circular Side Rule ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001TK3CHI | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Band Colour | Silver | | Band Material Type | Metal | | Band Width | 20 Millimetres | | Bands | 1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 139,719 in Fashion ( See Top 100 in Fashion ) 916 in Men's Wrist Watches | | Brand Name | Casio | | Case Diameter | 51 Millimetres | | Case Material Type | Acrylic | | Case Thickness | 12 Millimetres | | Character | Fashion | | Clasp Type | Safety / Trisnap closure | | Closure Type | Buckle | | Country Of Origin | China | | Crystal | Mineral | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 3,374 Reviews | | Dial Color | black | | Display | analogue | | Embellishment Feature | Crystal | | Face Style | Sector | | Included Components | Inhalt: 1 Stück | | Item Shape | Round | | Item Type Name | Watch | | Item Weight | 157 Grams | | Manufacturer | CASIO | | Manufacturer Part Number | EF-527D-1AVEF | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 2 years | | Model Name | EF-527D-1AVEF | | Model Number | EF-527D-1AVEF | | Model Series | 527 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Series Number | 527 | | Special Features | Datum, light | | Sport Type | Swimming | | Strap Type | Bracelet | | Style Name | Bracelet | | Theme | Fashion | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Type | Manufacturer | | Watch Movement Type | Quartz | | Water Resistance Depth | 100 Metres | | Water Resistance Level | Waterproof | ## Images ![Gents 45.00mm Quartz Watch with Black Analogue dial and Silver Metal Bracelet Strap EF-527D-1AVEF - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bGH2Y3p4L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Has this got the rotating bezel/slide rule operated by the crown at the 8 o'clock position** A: Yes it does slide from the crown at 8 o'clock. I bought it as a gift for a friend and he is very happy with it. I should get one for me too. **Q: I wear reading glass his time easy read** A: I also wear glasses and find it very easy to read, the second hand (and timer hands are red so easy to pick out), at a single glance you can see the time clearly. **Q: Can you confirm it has a date function** A: Yes it does have the date. **Q: When will there be more to by?** A: ....eh? There's 4 in stock!! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Expensive, quality watch for very little money. *by S***E on 6 February 2013* What can I say about this watch.....
