The Casio Edifice watch line keeps growing and gaining smart features and great design, but the big surprise with the ECB900DB-1A is that all of these great features now sport a lower pricetag. Bluetooth sync, 100m water resistance, solar power, 200 lap memory, there's not much that this watch can't do.
Tech expert and watch aficionado Dave Taylor of www.AskDaveTaylor.com/ slips the Edifice ECB900DB-1A on his wrist and puts it through its paces in this detailed review.

Thank you Dave! Casio makes quality timepieces no matter what the product line I think. My favorite one is the Casio EQB900DB-2A. Close to what you are reviewing, just a little more bells and whistles.

Here's another reason why I might go for this watch. Today I looked at the Casio Edifice EFV-540D-1A. It has a chronograph function but I have a hard time seeing the 24-Hr dial. I own a Seiko SBTR-027, featuring a tachymeter. I have no problem reading its smaller dials, even though it's slightly smaller than the EFV-540D.

Greeting!! I have a question. When taken out of the box for the first time, how much time do you need to charge the watch for it to start working? Because I have the watch I have charged it for more than 10 hours now out of which 3+ hours was in direct sunlight and the remaining in daylight. The watch does show the charging indicator but the hands are not moving nor is it connecting to the phone. When I contacted the authorised online seller from whom I purchased the watch from said since it being a tough solar you need to charge it a minimum of 24-48 hours for the first time use. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@AskDaveTaylor 3 жыл бұрын

Sounds like you might have one that's broken or a counterfeit one: Mine worked right out of the box and I never worry about charging in in sunlight. I just wear it. :-)

@@AskDaveTaylor Thank you for the reply. But I spoke with Casio India exec and confirmed regarding the authenticity as I too had doubts regarding the watch being an original one but everything was in order and I did receive a genuine product. What he told me was if the watch is packed up it does require sometime to charge up the batteries and I did keep it under a lamp for an hour or so(in addition to the above charge time in daylight) and the watch started up with about 80% battery as checked on the phone app. So all in all the watch working perfectly fine now.

Hi Dave, hi everyone, would you mind tell if the 5427 (ecb-500) mechanism can be installed in the ecb-900 case (after removing its 5582 mechanism)?

No idea, actually. Personally, I wouldn't be tearing this watch apart to put in a different mechanism :-)

@dmon95 4 жыл бұрын

Dave Taylor, well I finally bought the ECB-900 I could swap its module with my ecb-500 but the buttons of the 900 are a bit longer so the module of the 500 was squeezed and couldn’t operate as they should.. thickness was also a problem but I guess it could be fixed by swapping the hour marker ring.

Casio Edifice customer service is excellent: Find their 800 number on the Web site and call them up. I used their service once when I couldn't get one of my other watches to switch timezones and they were patient and talked me through every step needed.

Well, when I measure between the lugs on the edge, the narrow portion of the band is about 0.5in which is 12mm. So... I suspect I'm measuring it wrong. :-)

I perfer leather or slicon bands as they are a better fit. Steel bands dont always fit well even with links taken out

@AskDaveTaylor 8 ай бұрын

True, but most metal bands have tiny adjustments you can make on the buckle itself, a pin you can move a mm or two for a better fit.

@denodan 8 ай бұрын

Anyway Prefer leather or silicon, no muck around taking it to a jeweler to get links out or mucking round, A leather or slicon strap no hassles, get the watch and fits snuggly. I always buy watches with either leather band or silicon

Dave and everyone: Why is this watch so inexpensive?? I bought my first Casio Edifice (EQS-500) a few years ago, and it has half the functions and cost twice as much. And all other Bluetooth watches from Casio cost $300 or more. I know other 2019 Bluetooth watches are thinner and lighter, but even some of those don't have the features this has. I'd be interested to hear what others think about Casio's decision to offer such an inexpensive Bluetooth Edifice.

@AskDaveTaylor 4 жыл бұрын

It's less expensive as they continue to make progress on lowering the cost of their flagship products. A trend with all electronics and a good one considering how expensive "the first" of so many devices have been (laptop, PC, bluetooth headphones, smartphones, etc)

@pgyore3111 4 жыл бұрын

@@AskDaveTaylor Thank you for the reply, Dave. I understand time and experience brings down the price of tech, but shouldn't that effect the price of other similar Casio models as well, especially models in the same line? For example, the EQB900DB is still listed on Casio's and Macy's website for $320 (MSRP). This review's ECB900DB is listed at both websites for $200 (MSRP). They both have very similar features (bluetooth, stopwatch, timer, alarm). I think the EQB900DB is only thinner and lighter. Why is it still $120 more than the ECB900DB?

Nice watch. Bought it. Arrived today, from Amazon, either broken or dead. Hopefully, it's just dead. Any suggestions on how best, or how long, to charge the watch? Yes, I have a solar watch charging light. Do they really work? So far, I have to admit, I'm disappointed. This is now listed at $210.00 on Amazon. I'm sure you can understand my disappointment. $210 suddenly becomes A LOT to pay for a dead (Hopefully not broken.) watch. Sorry if my comment is a downer. But, hey, it's honest. Buyer beware. Time (No pun intended) will tell, I guess. Meanwhile we remain hopeful. I do like the watch. It seems fantastic, if I can get it to work.
