I was about to replace my Citizen Eco-Drive, when I found out about this Casio. It looks great and the battery last for 10 Years. My Citizen Eco-Drive died after 10 years of use. The finish is not as smooth as a Citizen, but for the price which is almost 1/10 of a Citizen, it's worth every single penny.

In the first palce, I wanted a reliable watch like Casio, low priced, yet shows good taste, for my every day use. This watch is in fact far more than I expected, based on it low price tag. It is really v. well built with elegantly styled metal band and dark blue dial. It is designed in a classic way that would stay in style as long as its battery goes (10 Y).
I beleive this watch will stay with me for some time, till I just get sick of it, as it looks like it can really hold up for years of use.
I totally recommend this watch for anyone who wants somthing decent in value and looks for, a v.decent price.

I bought an identical watch several years ago. Its still keeps time. Its beginning to show some wear, but considering the amount of abuse over the years it doesn't look bad. All the watches I owned in the past were lucky to last 6 months. This watch does take a licking and keeps on ticking. After searching and finding the identical make and model on Amazon.com, did purchase new one. The old watch still doing great and decided to use the new for dress up.

For its cost, this watch surely is a excellent buy. Other features that I like are the 10 year battery and 100m water resistance. In India, once a watch is opened, the water resistance is gone, as it is almost never re-sealed properly - which is where the 10 yr. battery is very important. The footprint is not very large (like those from Fossil), so it looks good on an average man's wrist. I surely recommend it for a casual watch.

This is my first post ever to rate a product and I feel obliged to do it because of this watch.

I was tired of rubber bands that kept breaking on my previous watches, so I got this Casio Edifice. I have owned it for close to 10 years and it far exceeded my expectations. I am amazed at the durability and reliability of this watch. During this time I have dropped it, abused it, gone to the beach several times and used it while diving and swimming. I use it every day for all activities. Never did it fail, and the battery still has not been replaced. The crystal glass is hardly scratched and is very resistant. It looks classy and appropriate for all occasions.

The best of all is that people often look at this watch and since it is so well made and stylish think that it was worth way more than it is. I highly recommended it and it is one of the best watches I have ever owned.

I am pleased with my purchase - Metal band, easy to read dial, good build quality, and has not varied from the time that I first set it to agree with my atomic clock. The band is large enough to encircle the wrist of most big people. I have to wait a decade to determine if the claim of a 10 year battery life is true. A good value for those that only interested in reading the correct time.

This is an excellent watch and at this price...totally amazing..It says battery life is 10 years..very light and decent watch..worth buying it..I sent it to India for my father and he loved it.

The watch itself is just that-- a watch. It's a decent quality watch at a good price. Because it is stainless steel and relatively conservative, it looks equally good when I wear shorts and a T-shirt or if I wear a suit. I really have no complaints.

The problem I have is the directions/warning/warranty card included with the watch. It's the same card included with all their watches and has directions on adjusting the digital display (this is an analog only watch). What it lacks is any information on how to adjust the watch band to fit you. Casio does not use the standard pins most watches use so it's a bit more complicated. Instead of hammering out one side of the pin and pulling it out on the other side, you have to dig into the backside of the link with a jeweler's screwdriver (a regular pin will NOT work), then work the flat piece of metal free. Compared to the standard system, it's really a pain in the ass. it is also very easy to damage the watchband.

I ended up searching on youtube for directions. This link is the the one I used, it's a Casio Wave Ceptor, but the band is the same as the Edifice.[...]

when i first got this i was thrilled, but than i saw it was way too big. I was very disappointed. But i quick searched on YouTube how to make it smaller and i found out that the things holding the watch together are little pins. So all you need to do is look on the inside of the band and you will see little arrows that point to the pins that are removable. Than you take a pin, place it on the watch pins and just gently hammer them out. But only the ones you need hammered out. Than some little pieces of the band will come of. Lastly you take one of the pins and hammer the bands on your watch back together. I might not have explained this very well but if you go on youtube and search "how to make a watch band smaller" you will see the first result by a guy called "wired" click on that, he explains it very well. Other than having to do that (which is very easy) the watch is fantastic, its beautiful and even tells you what day of the month it is. I give this watch 5 stars!!!!!!

The watch arrived after 7 days since I placed the order, the reason for the delay is because I used free shipping. The looks of the face of the watch is really impressive, however the steel band has a cheap feel to it. The steel strap is not brushed and has some sharp edges to it.
I had to spend $5 at the jeweler to adjust the steel strap. I usually wear it on Mondays since it has the blue face. Monday blues I guess.
