The only watch you really need is this Casio Edifice (EFV-110D review)

[@TimedSquare]

ERRATUM : 1/ The links are folded metal, not solid. It doesn't show at first sight because the way they are made but you can see it in between links. 2. Actually, this is a unisex watch. Some websites list it as a watch for women, others for men. None of this changes my opinion of this watch ;)

[@taoistgoth]

Have a look at the Casio Lineage LCW-M100TSE-1AER. It's a bit more expensive at around £230 UK pounds, but is made of 100% titanium, has a sapphire crystal, is solar powered and radio reception gives 100% accuracy, has a small LCD which gives weekday and date, has stopwatch, timer, world time, alarms, a dial light for night-time viewing, very good lume, and best of all, on a black rubber strap it looks amazing and it weighs just 46g, making it just about the most comfortable watch I have ever worn. Oh and perpetual calendar. Size-wise it's just 40mm but wears a lot smaller, partly due to it being just 9.6mm thick. Lug-to-lug is a tiny 43mm. It has 50m water resistance which according to Casio's website at www.casio-intl.com/asia/en/wat/water_resistance/ makes it fine for swimming. I have had a 30 minute swim an a pool with it and it was just fine. www.reddit.com/r/Watches/comments/ddkml2/casio_the_perfect_watch_in_my_opinion/

The hands and indices look a lot more like the Seiko 62mas reissue than the Aqua Terra

I've been looking forever for a watch with SD Crown at this size Do you know of any other watches about this size with screw down crown? Solar would be nice too. Thanks for the video!

Which 5 were you gonna get?

[@rss6482]

@Holly Chaves why?

[@ArchisMarathe]

@@rss6482 automatic

[@MammothBehemoth]

Same. 100M, screwdown crown, larger lume than most Seiko 5 that have small lume dots. The white dial is killer, probably looks good in bracelet, leather, or sailcloth. But Seiko 5 is automatic. Bit of a weigh-in at this pricepoint

[@johnalfredkonig8490]

I've had this watch for some time now and I wear it almost everyday at work, never had the slightest problem with it, it looks pretty and professional without being expensive and tacky. Best buy.

Can tell the excitement from your voice. What a gem from Casio.

Are you searching an awesome Casio watch ? Maybe you should see this ! amzn.to/2LdUpon

[@wiwe4741]

Today I got mine - just to see what you grade 10 out of 10 - I was really skeptical 🤨 - the only I can say (considering I paid under only € 70 included shipping from an AD) it’s really awesome - screw down crown, screwed case back, applied marker, the second hand hits perfectly the markers ,... - yes it’s a 10 out of 10!! Great 👍 job Alessandro

[@thistleclockworks1292]

Thank you for this review. I was looking for an everyday blue watch and this review sealed the deal. I chose the larger model and used your link to say 'thanks.' I'm grateful for the reviews of classically proportioned time pieces. Keep up the good work.

[@themightysquid]

That’s a great find! I’ve found myself appreciating the simple reliability of quartz lately. (Been getting a lot of wrist time on the G-Shock you gave me and use it to set my automatics). It’s clearly evident how excited you are with this find and I’m very tempted to order one too. I see a hint of Omega Seamaster there.

[@EAS573182]

I own the Casio Oceanus and love that watch. This looks very similar and tastefully done for under $100!

[@Threesixtyci]

...Oceanus under 100? Yeah right. Abused, with a broken second hand, maybe.

[@victor-7074]

I buy this watch several days ago, after watch your video and I can't be more happy with this watch. Soon has became probably my favourite watch for everyday use. Thank you very much for this video.

[@desmondshiungchin3847]

Never pulled a trigger so fast that I’ve done buying the watch even before the video ends! Great recommendation ! Looking forward to more content of yours !

[@felixschurmann7174]

I saw this video when it went online - today the watch went on sale and I immediately pulled the trigger 🔥

[@AbdullahArRafi]

Edifice watches are a charm to use, and they're pretty darn tough for everyday use! I have a hunky EF539D and it's almost as accurate as a quartz watch can be at any price point! Edifice provides excellent value for money!

[@Samurai9901]

I had been looking for a small edifice for a while, appreciate the review on a smaller model.

[@marcuspmw94]

Thank you for your detailed review! Was looking for a smaller dial watch to add into my collection and came across this video. Awaiting for it to be delivered to me now..

[@manoelfelipe1807]

Definitely the first Edifice I ever considered to buy

[@BrakkoJanus]

A very well designed watch for sure! Great for someone on a budget who just wants a nice looking watch to wear everyday. I have tried it and the bracelet feels really cheap (not sure how you can say the links are solid, you can also see in the picture that they are sheet metal) but the case is nice. I have a discontinued Casio Edifice EF-503D-7A, got it for 80€ and I LOVE it! Solid end links, solid links, gorgeous sunburst white dial and blue hands.

[@nalditwisterron]

Ouroboros I had the same Edifice, beautiful blue sunburst dial, love the design of the dial with chronograph function, love the solid stainless steel bracelet and end link. I’ve tried some of the new edifice, and I gotta agree that the bracelet do feels cheaper though

[@oldfashionedsportsmanchave4590]

Never heard of this little watch. Ordering for sure!!! Thanks.

[@rolandoavendano9224]

After watching your review (edifice efv 100-d) I decided to purchase a 40mm model and I am a very happy man. Excellent watch!!! Thanks

[@rickycat8241]

Arrived today. I totally love it!

[@ignotdc]

Where did you buy it?

[@NordicWatchChannel]

Cool! So refreshing to see a review of a watch that's kind of outside the usual ballpark, that not every other watch channel reviews! Keep 'em coming :)

[@jpgonly7034]

Speaking about quartz watch... I recently got Rotary GS05092-05 for 70$ brand new. The watch looks awesome! Especially for the price I've paid! 40.5mm case diameter is a sweet spot for my 7 1/4 inch! The dial is rather black than even dark blue! I do love all the details on dial and hands shape too. Love the case shape, sapphire crystal... flat, domed with AR would make this watch above perfect) The watch could be easily turned to a dress watch with a different strap attached! The stock strap is pretty stiff. If only it could be automatic mechanical) At the same time of this purchase I have upgraded a 7S36 movement on my Seiko 5 SNZG15 to NH36... hand winding, hacking, 45 hours power reserve! A local watchmaker has regulated it to +2-3 seconds a day... after all, it gets way more wrist time nowadays)

[@AgentJot23]

I just found this watch (in blue) under 50 GBP at Amazon UK :D Can't wait for delivery.

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

Great review! Really happy to see you on the Teddy channel!

[@stevenwymor1398]

OK Alessandro, you were so enthusiastic about this that I picked up the 40mm black version from Amazon and it arrived today. You're right, it's a fantastic watch. I'm basically gonna wear it as my SARB beater substitute. Even on my 6-1/2" wrist, the 40mm fits like a dream. The lug to lug is exactly 48mm but with a nice downturn so it just disappears. You're right, the case is definitely SARBesque which means it has that Seiko magic even though it's a Casio. And the seconds hand even has perfect registration on the minute track. Unbelievable for a watch that retails for $90. Ticks a bit louder than most Casio analogs I've owned but I can live with that. And it's gonna save some wear and tear on my SARB033, especially when I travel. Thanks so much for bringing this to our attention.

[@TimedSquare]

My pleasure Steven, and from what I've seen and heard, all seconds hand do line up! Crazy value for money from Casio here... Thanks for trusting my opinion, enjoy it in good health!

[@stevenwymor1398]

The Slender Wrist thank you.

[@gnoink]

Steven, do you mean the EFV-100D-1AVUEF? I thought it was 42 mm. Do you have the lug width on that thing? It would be nice to know its versatility in terms of strap options.

[@gnoink]

On closer inspection it seems like the 42 mm width, stated by Casio, includes the crown guard.

[@stevenwymor1398]

@gnoink yes, the EFV-100D-1AVCR is actually about 42.5mm to the crown guards and 43.5mm including the crown as the crown protrudes a bit beyond the guards even when fully screwed down. Minus either of the above, it's 40.2mm in diameter according to my calipers. Lug width is for 20mm straps. I believe the UEF version is identical but just sold in Europe and the CR model is sold in North America since the UEF version on my Amazon search is from Amazon.uk. The packaging is also slightly different as mine was packed in a metal tin inside an outer cardboard box whereas the UEF version appears to come in a cardboard box only.

[@kwilson1865]

Great video, great looking watch! I have been searching for an affordable blue dial watch, I have black and white dial watches and here in the U.S. Amazon has this for under $50, what a bargain!! As always, great view point on this watch, I’m a big fan of your content, looking forward to next video.

[@nmsoti1]

i've bought 2 months ago the Edifice Efv-100 black dial sunburst with a black leather strap and a red second hand, at 40mm (43mm with crown--->works good on my 6.5inch wrist), as i was in need for a good, resistant watch. So, owning my other Edifice Efa-115 (yellow stitching) for 14 years now, i thought to myself, how would it be that an Edifice no nonsense would exist?! no sub-dials, or digital displays just a classy one. and voila, the most awesome Casio for me, out there :)Needed some getting use to it, though, as my first one had sub-layers and a domed crystal+thickness...

[@bigneocortex]

Thanks for the review! I just bought the white mens version from amazon new for $37!

The luxury version of this would be in the Casio Oceanus line.

[@ToasterMeltdown]

If they release a new 3-hand Oceanus in this exact size, I'll be all over it! I already have the Oceanus S100, but it's much bigger than the Edifice.

Actually there's a closer model which doubles as a budget Oceanus: the EFR-S107D

Many thanks for the review. Very well done with excellent photography. This one is impossible to resist. Just received my 110D and I'm blown away. As you say, in the metal it IS that good. Not a fan of bracelets but it looks even better on leather (kind of Aqua Terra/Rolex OP vibe). The case has a cut-away under the lugs so straps don't bind. I have watches costing much, much, more than this, but good grief this has to be the most watch for the least money I've ever spent. Even with a loupe it's faultless. Seconds hand is bang on the markers all the way round the dial and the details are nicely done. So well done Casio. They deserve some sort of award.

[@giulianofalkiner4114]

I liked it so much I bought two, the blue and the black version.

[@Tomas_124]

Beautiful watch, sunk into my soul last year, when I saw the first live photos of the EFV-100 on a black leather strap with a black dial, but red elements in the design. In December, my watch will be a year) However, despite their beautiful appearance, they are well, very loud ticking.. The last 10 years I wore the model EF-316, and to hear them you had to try very hard, close to his ear. When I came home in a new watch and sat down at the computer, I honestly was upset with the volume of the mechanism, especially it is heard at night, even in 1 - 1.5 meters from themselves they can be heard quite clearly, and if they put next to him on the bedside table, then to fall asleep will need to try very hard. But beauty requires sacrifices, and I can't give them up)

[@0017Bulldog]

I'm pulling the trigger on this one! Thank you.

[@andrewfellows2154]

Just because the diameter of the watch is 35mm doesn't mean it's a woman's watch. Men at one time wore watches that were this size and it is described on Amazon as being a gentleman's watch.

This is the best example of how watch size is subjective, there is no right or wrong contrary to what many other say. On your wrist this 35mm watch looks like 46mm on my wrist.
