Casio Edifice ECBS100D Review and Walkthrough including Edifice Connect tutorial

[@cxvxcbcxn]

Haven't had an Edifice for more than 10 years...time to buy one, this watch looks awesome and also like all the functionality!

[@DougFNJ]

These updates are so far advanced from the older ones. This is the best one in my opinion.

[@aksmaltare]

Which one did you buy?

[@tranken587]

So much easier to understand than the manual that comes with it, thank you

[@DougFNJ]

Thank you Tranken, happy to be helpful

[@SirBiscuit45]

A very comprehensive overview of the watch, and a well explained walkthrough of its features, thank you for this. I’m particularly a fan of the black/blue with black stainless steel combo, hope to get this soon! ✨

[@DougFNJ]

Thank you very much for the comment, I really appreciate your feedback sir. I really enjoyed reviewing this watch, my opinion, this is the best of the Edifice line so far.

[@campo2309]

Just ordered that one!!

[@campo2309]

Ordered mine one about half hour ago, the black stainless steel model with blue background. Can't wait to unbox it!

[@DougFNJ]

Nice choice! Please let me know what you think

[@ThanosSiozos]

Great and thorough review. I was considering this watch until I saw the bad visibility of the LCD screens from any angle other than straight up. That's a no go for me. Maybe they'll make a version with white LCDs or MIP LCDs then I'll reconsider. Thanks.

[@DougFNJ]

Happy to help, thats why I do these, to show as much as possible. My eyes struggle with negative displays too.

[@roberttruesdell6151]

Great review. Awesome watch. Just wondering if it has auto light

[@DougFNJ]

Thank you very much. It does have the auto light.

[@eddiejones.redvees]

I have just picked the same watch up to day it looks great on my wrist

[@DougFNJ]

Thanks Eddie, glad you enjoy. This has been my favorite of the Edifice line

[@samnova450]

Just pick this watch up for travel. Thanks for the show and tell on the watch. Only find the clap a bit cheap. How do you see the date, is it on the digital part?

[@DougFNJ]

Thanks for watching! Yes, date is digital. Safe travels! 😄

[@spectacularangular637]

16:00 it looks so tight but great review!

[@DougFNJ]

Thank you very much. I size these to where I could fit my finger between the bracelet and my wrist. Sometimes the arm hair on the sides make it appear tighter than it actually is.

[@Hesho1962]

Very nice review, just bought the ECB-10 , very similar except for its a bit bigger and no solar . I hope casio digs deeper in Bluetooth functionality to compete with todays smart watch’s , keeping this style , no screen and with health stuff and recharging methods , I’m sure lots of people will go for it and I’m one of them

[@DougFNJ]

Im wondering if Edifice will ever get a go on WearOS like they did ProTrek and G-Shock

[@Hesho1962]

No Google wears, I meant keeping a physical watch as it is but improve the software like Amazfit and Huawei have their own software and work flawlessly on both android and IOS throw their own app

[@anth012]

Good job man...good to have you back.

[@DougFNJ]

Thanks Anthony, next up will be another G-Shock

[@wallace0419]

我剛好正在casio官網看這一支，真是太巧了，它還有輕量化設計，所以整個長寬高都小一點50 × 46 × 9.8 mm，重量也只有138 g，現在就是顏色的選擇了，我想買這支送給我大哥，謝謝他對家庭的辛苦付出。Thank you for your introduction.

[@Catasmith]

I think this could be my 1st Edifice Watch to wear ^_^ ! I apreciate your reviewing quality, it was so such good for me! Thanks Sir!

[@DougFNJ]

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback. Let me know what you think, still my favorite Edifice.

[@Catasmith]

@@DougFNJ hello Sir! I have IT on my hand wrist right now, is it an awesome watch, much fitter than a joke smartwatcher 😀 I like the details and looks authentic 😊

[@850Tech]

Complete Review as always. Amazing timepiece. Fantastic built quality. I wish it gave us some kinda incoming notification from the smartphone.

[@DougFNJ]

I really hope they go there next, with a vibration feature would be so nice to have

[@62ndWatchCo]

I found out about this watch by accident while looking for any upcoming releases for G-Shocks. I noticed the Honda Racing Championship White Edition (ECBS100HR-1A) from Edifice for preorder, so that's what I opted for. This will be my first watch from the Edifice line and I'm anxious for it to arrive 😎

[@DougFNJ]

Really nice choice! Please let me know what you think

[@mikeoleksa]

It's a really nice looking watch. It reminds me of a Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster A-T. Having the phone app is a HUGE bonus. I've had a couple of Citizen Promaster and Skyhawk watches and getting through the digital screens for any reason is a real PITA. Casio seems to have solvved that problem.

[@DougFNJ]

Casio has some of the best execution of the smartphone integration.

[@Gary-ib8dz]

For the 9 o'clock sundial, what are the numbers in the red section. Sorry if it was in the video and I missed it.

[@АлександърКелесис]

Hello Sir, thank you for the great review of the watch. I'm going to buy some classy/sporty watch for official and everyday usages, and I wonder between this model and EQB-1200D-1A. Do you have review of eqb too, or if u have opinion for this watch i will be glad to hear it, nevermind if it would be just based on your greater experience in watches for sure!

[@DougFNJ]

Thank you. The ECB has been my all time favorite Edifice. I did reviews on 2 EQB’s. Both very nice, and very thin. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIKbnXljl9qCla8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIuyhquanJZ0p68

[@niminnimin7197]

What a GREAT REVIEW !!! Thank you very much for helping..I love this watch and am planning to get one you helped a lot ..keep doing a great job 👏 🙌 👍

[@DougFNJ]

Thank you very much NiMiN! I really appreciate the feedback and always happy these videos help. Let me know what you think when you get it.

[@saroaralamdipu]

Is it possible to replace the stainless Steel strap with a leather one?

[@DougFNJ]

Hi Saroar, you can, it's 22mm between the lugs.

[@undercrackers56]

The watch can be controlled by a mobile phone via Bluetooth. I would be very interested if the phone can accurately set the time of the watch according to Internet Time Servers.

[@DougFNJ]

I’d guess there might be ever so slight latency, but I find it to be accurate

[@trainsplanesandotherthings5187]

Nice watch... I want one but... 50mm is just way too large for most wrist... unless you are into Invivta Size watches...

[@DougFNJ]

Thank you. Doesn’t wear large, especially not in it a large lol

[@gabrielpetcu6789]

Is the back plate screw type? I wanna buy the watch but i cant see the 6 notches for the opening tool..i hope it isnt the press type..

[@s7yler]

13:10 actually this is the other way around, it's used to hunt down your phone, not the watch 😁

[@DougFNJ]

Great catch! lol thanks for the correction.

[@retrogaming1986]

Thank you for the great review! I've been interested in this watch, and I finally get to see how it works

[@DougFNJ]

Happy to help Murphy, really is an incredible watch

[@SreyashRaj]

Im thinking to go for Edifice. But i have 1 doubt. Are Solar-powered powered watches reliable ?

[@DougFNJ]

It's a great choice. I have found solar movements VERY reliable. As long as you keep them exposed to a light source, they are good to go. I have solar watches that I still haven't had to change a batter on 15 years later.

[@direitoshumanoscidadania9333]

Casio Edifice ECBS100D very good.

[@DougFNJ]

Thank you

[@airwind]

this surely ticked lots of boxes for me :) was an instant buy when i saw it on sales.

[@DougFNJ]

Right now its the best of all Edifice's in my subjective opinion. I can't wait to see what comes out next!

[@pontifexinstitute]

@@DougFNJ The only problem with this watch: No auto light. But why?🙄🙄

[@josecarlokayanan5105]

On the alarm part, I saw it is Daily on your video, can you set it weekly? For example to alarm 8am every Monday only?

[@DougFNJ]

The alarm is daily on/off.

[@josecarlokayanan5105]

@@DougFNJ Thanks for the reply and the video. Keep it up!

[@rahulmores3088]

Detailed and clear review. Loved it.

[@DougFNJ]

Thank you Rahul!

[@robertemes8846]

Hi,i brought this watch a day ago, and i noticed the dugital display is very dim compared to your video is that the case.

[@DougFNJ]

Hey Robert, congratulations! Negative displays are most visible in better lighting conditions. I try to optimize my lights for the best views on camera, but in room lighting it will tend to be dimmer than outdoor in daylight which should be ideal.

[@TheAccord77]

Thanks for the review I really like this watch

[@DougFNJ]

Thank you! This one has been my favorite so far

[@ryanmalvyn]

i'm trying to get one from a reseller, and frankly they sell it a little bit cheaper around 50$ less, im scared if its a fake or a replica, is there a way to see if the watch im buying is legit or not? nice review by the way! i love this watch the moment i laid my eyes on it 💯💯💯

[@DougFNJ]

Thanks for watching and taking time to comment. It’s normal for watches to be discounted. Just make sure it comes with box and papers and you pay by credit card or PayPal so you are covered. I haven’t heard of fakes with this watch.

[@farrukh19]

I'm confused between black and blue dial. Which one looks better in person and should I get?

[@DougFNJ]

Thanks for watching Farukh, I’ve always found black more versatile. I’d look up reviews on both so you can get an idea to make your ultimately decision. Please let me know what you decide.

[@IlluminatingWatches]

Very nice edifice. Good overview!

[@DougFNJ]

Thank you very much, definitely my favorite so far

[@abytusabytus340]

Screw down case back? As far as i know it's pop off case back. Really screw down not pop off?

[@trapielloj]

It does not have a heart rate sensor, or GPS?

[@DougFNJ]

Hi Jose, unfortunately not on this one.

[@larkinflight]

Very helpful! Thanks!

[@DougFNJ]

Thank you lark. Happy to help.

[@sankaranarayanan5086]

What is the price of this watch ? When is it getting released in India ?

[@DougFNJ]

I was thinking this was an international release, if you go to the Casio website, you should be able to contact them, they are always helpful. I don't typically give pricing as there are always specials and price changes over time. Thank you for watching, hope that helps.

[@mantiscity]

Would be great if it buzzed for notifications

[@DougFNJ]

I wish they had vibrate on all their watches

[@pontifexinstitute]

@@DougFNJ GBD-100 & 200 do vibrate for notifications and phone calls...😁😁

[@galleonhouse7470]

Thank you for a detailed review. It is a miserable watch, but thanks for making a good job going through the options. Sending mine back, such a failure from Casio....

[@farrukh19]

Why are you sending it back?

[@galleonhouse7470]

@@farrukh19 a) the digital display is absolutely useless(tiny + unreadable). Which makes the watch a basic anaolg watch with childishly mascaraded dial. b) the "transformes-supeheroes" styling of the dial does not look goog with classy casing, plus makes it harder to read even the analog time) If Casio'd put SLIGHTLY more thought into design - that COULD have been a great watch.

[@DougFNJ]

Thanks for watching Galleon, sorry it didn’t work out for you. Not every watch is for everyone for sure. What are you looking at to replace it?

[@galleonhouse7470]

@@DougFNJ Looking for AMW-710, with a solar element.

[@piperfect]

How does the "find your phone" feature work?

[@susrev88]

you need active bluetooth on your phone. you press a certain buttom on the watch for 5 seconds and then your phone (ie the connected app) will play a sound

[@DougFNJ]

As long as you've paired a watch, you would hold the bottom right button for 5 seconds. If the phone is within Bluetooth range, you will set off the sound on your phone.

[@mitkoyonkov3301]

Yeah but its silly becouse after 3 or 5 minutes is auto disconnect it from conection? So for example if i want randomly to check my phone means i cant "locate my phone" becouse shoud be connected between 3 or 5 min and only at this time to use phone finder or i am wrong ?

[@justintime1218]

What's the Lug width?

[@DougFNJ]

I believe it is 22mm at the lug, tapers down to 20mm at the clasp.

[@justintime1218]

@@DougFNJ Thank you 👍

[@DaveCorbey]

It looks very, vey large on your wrist, I think it's a pretty large watch and I don't think suits your wrist size at all. I've got an ECB500 that will connect the phone but won't register any more, so I have to set it manually now..

[@DougFNJ]

Thanks for the feedback. Interesting opinion, I’m wondering if it’s the angle. It’s been very wearable.

[@DaveCorbey]

@@DougFNJ I'm sure it's wearable but trust me 38 or 40 would look a lot better on the smaller wrist. Especially if you're not 6ft plus tall.
