 Attractive watch overall but.....Jul 03, 2010
Got the watch today and here has been my overall impression of the watch:
Pros: Attractive looking watch good for everyday use, could wear it with casual wear and could wear it with a suit. As long as you don't touch it, it looks expensive. Not a huge face as many "tank style" watches are. I was easily able to size the band with a small flathead screwdriver and a small jeweler's hammer.
Cons: Like the other reviewers I find the display to be darker than expected and difficult to read without the backlight. The crystal seems to have an odd, white haze to it but only at certain angles which makes looking at the display even more difficult. Direct overhead halogen lights or sunlight brings the milky white haze out and makes the face difficult to read. The band feels somewhat flimsy but it is expected for a $50 watch, you get what you pay for. I compared the band to what is on my Citizen Skyhawk Eco-Drive and its painfully obvious which is the $300 watch and which is the $50 watch.
Overall: Attractive watch, good for daily bang around use. I am still concerned about the white haze on the face and have decided to return the watch. I am hoping to get a replacement and this was a defect on this particular watch.
Update 7/7/2010: Contacted Amazon, their customer service was excellent and they sent me another watch. Got the watch today noticed that the hazing was even worse on this one! It looks like the inside of the crystal is dirty and is hazed over, this is especially apparent in direct lighting. I contacted Amazon customer service again to return this unit. I really like the way the watch looks but this kind of sloppy manufacturing is inexcusable. I had given the watch 4 stars but due to this, I am giving it only one star. I have 2 Casios of my own and they have been terrific, they keep great time and reliable as any watch I have had. However, I would stay away from this particular Casio watch.
 Great watchJun 22, 2010
I love this watch. The digital analog clock setting is a little slow but nice. The only problem is that the temperature reading is influenced by body heat so its off unless ambient temp is higher, you can adjust for difference though.
Perfect casual watchMay 10, 2010
This Casio Edifice is a perfect watch to wear for casual occasions.
I have had it over a month now, and for the cheap price, it appears to be very accurate with the official Government website time ([...])...less than 2 seconds lost in 1 month.
I like the dual digital analog time. It also shows the day and date, a must for me. Some reviewers say the digital numbers are hard to read because they are dim. They are both correct and incorrect! Yes, if you are in dim lighting it may be hard to see the digital numbers, and it does require you to have the viewing watch angle tilted a little in order to see the digital numbers, but this is a plus. Unlike other dual time watches that I have had in the past, the background clutter can tend to make it hard to see the analog hands when glancing at the watch. The background digital numbers on this watch tend to blend away unless you are looking directly at the watch. This helps to reduce the background clutter on the watch face. Tilting the watch a little so that you can see the digital numbers should be a very minor inconvenience.
The band is easy to adjust as long as you know that it doesn't use the round pin type link removal. There are websites that you can go to that will show you how to remove links, if you are not familiar with this type of link removal.
The band will not allow your watch to lay flat like most metal watch bands, again a minor annoyance.
The only curios feature, is that when you set your analog hands, it will only go in one direction...clockwise. Somewhat odd?
It has a temperature readout, but I doubt anyone should really expect this to be very accurate. Even if you set it to account for your body temperature, don't expect miracles.
As your activity goes up or down, so too, will your body temperature. This should make it nearly impossible for the watch to really report accurate air temperatures. At best it will give you a general approximations. Kind of a useless feature. I have read other reviewers that were upset that it wasn't giving them the correct temperatures. If this is the reason why you bought the watch then you need to see a shrink. It's watch!
Stop focusing on the minutia and enjoy the classy looks and excellent timing of this inexpensive watch.
Very nice watch!Apr 13, 2010
This was the right balance for me. Mixture of classic, casual and tech style.
Most of the reviews from other people in this site are true, positive and negative ones. It's just about who is sensitive to what.
I really find this watch very nice looking and easy to use.
I was afraid of huge oversized Casio watches, but this one ended being quite small, so if you tend buying it maybe the good idea would be checking first in the store a real version.
Cool designFeb 19, 2010
I really like this watch. I've had several Casio watches and this one is the best looking. The only thing I don't like is that is kind of hard to see the digital numbers, but you can always press the light button. I recommend this watch anyways.
