Within is the Casio Edifice EFV-110D. According to some outlets, this is a women’s or unisex watch, though most retailers do have this listed as a men’s watch. Personally, given the styling, I can’t imagine a woman wearing this despite the small size. I know this is a very subjective review but seriously, after years of agonising over the best Swiss movements, complications, sapphire crystals, solid bracelets, end links and milled clasps, COSC certifications, in house calibres, this has made me realise what is important in a wrist watch, its pulled me out of the rabbit hole of watch obsession: Die Stundenindizes sind groß und sorgen für eine sehr gute und schnelle Ablesbarkeit. Leider nicht bei Nacht, denn die Leuchtkraft der fluoreszierenden Zeiger und Indizes lässt bereits nach wenigen Minuten stark nach, und schon bald lassen sich nur noch die Zeiger gerade so erahnen. Da dies den Alltagsgebrauch für mich aber nicht wesentlich einschränkt: Passt schon bei dem Preis. Die Ganggenauigkeit ist - wie bei einer Quarzuhr zu erwarten - hervorragend. Nach ungefähr zwei Wochen ging sie um ca. 2 Sekunden vor. A luminous coating provides long-term illumination in the dark after only a short exposure to light.

I stumbled upon a review of the Casio Edifice EFV-110d (the baby brother) by The Slender Wrist and being a fan of the smaller timepiece thought i'd give it a go...well after much excitement ripping open the box, to my dismay was a watch that was just too small for my 7 inch wrists. The combination of sporty looks, thinness, tapering 18mm bracelet and 41mm lug to lug was just didnt look right, and I have happily worn 33mm vintage pieces before. Reconozco que lo compré pensando que no me iba a gustar, que iba a sentir que llevaba una versión cutre del Omega Aquaterra, o del Rolex Oyster Perpetual, pero la verdad es que me ha encantado. Evidentemente las características de este Casio son muy distintas: no lleva cristal de zafiro sino mineral (pero no lo hecho de menos), tampoco lleva un carísimo movimiento mecánico in-house sino un barato pero muy preciso y confiable movimiento de cuarzo (y lo prefiero), por esto último el segundero avanza segundo a segundo y no a 8 pasos por segundo (reconozco que eso sí que me gustaría, pero bueno...), y donde realmente creo que se nota la diferencia es en la cadena metálica (armis) que no tiene eslabones sólidos y cuando la mueves suena un poquito cutre (incluso chirría un poco a veces). Accuracy - this watch is more accurate than any COSC certified watch I've owned, it keeps -2 seconds every couple of weeks. Perfect for swimming and snorkelling: the watch is water resistant to 10 bar according to ISO 22810.

The rustproof watch case is made of solid stainless steel and offers a valuable and robust quality.

Luxury or necessity? Since the launch of mobile phones, purchasing a wristwatch is more or less confined to those who regard them as fashion accessories. Will Casio's timepiece be your new "must-have"? Casio Edifice EFV-100 the bracelet has folded links and hollow end links. However, it totally suits the watch as it makes it so lightweight and comfortable and absolutely does not detract from the look (you can't tell).You can rely on it: the bracelet on this watch has a particularly secure clasp that prevents accidental opening. This watch has made me realize the pleasure in a 3 hander sports watch, no GMT hand, not tachometer, no chronograph, no dive bezel, just the things I need (the date is essential for me as I generally know the day but not the date) The dial aesthetics are down to your personal preference. Personally, I’d say I prefer that MTS-100L, though not by much, both are very handsome watches. Obviously, that watch also has the sapphire crystal, which will inherently give you better scratch resistance than the mineral found in this watch. However, this watch has a better strap, or bracelet in this case. The case finishing is sharper and better too and the extra water resistance could certainly come in handy if you’re after a do-it all watch.
