I great video and I just got this watch at a great price. I wanted an Edifice with the octagon bezel. But this bezel seem to have a plastic bezel and not metal like the other model that naybbebtte previous. It’s a very attractive watch with all tte great features.
Great video. Unfortunately The Mac OS app does not function setting the world time zone or alarm settings. Basically it only adjusts the watch in my case
Hi I have a query. I have never used black chain watches. I'm afraid of getting them scratched. So I use silver chain watches because the scratches are not easy to see. But I like this one. So my question is whether it will hold scratches or are scratch resistant?
Its not a DLC coating, and these are lower cost watches. I don't wear black watches daily, and don't have many issues with scratching, but that's not to say they couldn't if used and abused. I would say they would scratch like any stainless steel, the black may make it more noticeable like a black car shows everything so much more than a gray car. I hope that helps.
Thanks Doug for the review on the Casio edifice eqb 1100 -I do have that watch and was wondering if there was a way to turn the volume up on the alarm ?? It goes off but can barely hear it -thanks Charlie
Thanks for watching Charlie, Unfortunately not many good alarms on digital watches like this. the speaker is so small, and the more tech inside, the lower the volume. This is why I say over and over that I wish they would put vibrate in more watches.
Exactly...and no one is pointing that out. It is so disappointing that such an important feature is not the amongst the top priorities for so many people.
The phone finder is not working properly. It only work wile i am touching my phone. When i left my phone somewhere else, the phone finder does not make a sound. Please help
Hello, I just got this watch and all my watch hands are on the 12 o’clock position. I try to pair the watch to iPhone 13 Pro Max but when I hold down the B button the hands don’t move. Do I need to let it charge before they can start moving? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
@@DougFNJ thank you for the quick reply. That was my first thought. I got this watch at a great price of $160 from ShopHQ and couldn’t turn it down. This is my 3rd Casio Edifice and all my watches are sapphire crystal and solar so this was for the price was a no brainer! Watch runs for at least $350 so I really hope that it can get plenty of sunlight tomorrow and that it starts working. But thank you again for the advice and will follow up hopefully with good news 🤞🏼
Is that a proprietary band on the Edifice such that trying to swap for another band is virtually impossible? This is a problem on many of the Oceanus models, which is a deal breaker for me.
@@DougFNJ I'm referring to the shape of the band. Casio is notorious for creating curves or notches where the bands meet the lugs. In these cases, a standard watch band/bracelet won't fit.
Great video! Does the auto time keeping feature set the watch to the second? I like to get my watches as close as possible using an atomic time website on my laptop.
Battery life is great being solar, I have yet to need to change a solar battery in any of my collection, and I have had them for many years. Date also does change with the short month.
Tq dougfnj . Can u explain us more about casio oceanus s5000e in detail how to use and so on especially about radio wave , multiband 6 etc about that watch in detail too. Tq . It is because i think we need a lifetime use watches and doesnt need to buy other it is because its rely on any day even in any century's because casio oceanus got perpetual calendar until year 2600 ! .

I love how thin it is. I'm a huge GShock and ProTrek fan but have never had an Edifice. Now I'm interested in this one. Sapphire is huge btw.
I always prefer sapphire when I could get it. Better scratch resistance.
Yesterday i saw this exact watch. It exudes elegance and everyday wearability
Edifice line has really stepped up!
Great video Doug. I've been looking at an Edifice for a little while now so this is just what I needed. Awesome work.
Thank you Anthony, this is definitely a unique offering from Casio. Tgeyve taken this series in a great direction
This series rocks! Thanks for the review.. 👍
Thanks for watching Steven, glad you enjoyed, and I agree, Edifice is getting better and better.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed. I say it all the time, Casio has been stepping up their game, and I look forward to seeing how it continues to evolve.

Thank you! The demo I did was using an iPhone. I know there was an app update recently. That may fix your issue? Or unpair and re-pair may fix that.
Just ordered the sapphire version
Nice!! Please let me know what you think when you get it.
@@DougFNJ It's gorgeous. Have not sized the band yet but soon I'll be wearing it. So far very nice and easy to use with Casio Edifice app.
thank you so much for the review, very handy and decision making support. I will get one ASAP since I was looking for something similer.
Happy to help, thanks for watching. Please let us know what you think.

Only thing missing is a light feature. Glow in the dark hands never seem to work that well
Exactly...and no one is pointing that out. It is so disappointing that such an important feature is not the amongst the top priorities for so many people.
I always suggest sending that feedback to Casio, they tend to be very receptive to feedback.
Great video! Are the links solid links? As I know on some edifice models, they are folded metal link and not solid links. Thanks!
Thank you, yes the links are solid, these links use the pin and collar system as opposed to the tiny springboard on other models.
@@DougFNJ Thank you for the reply!

It was probably in the box for a long time. Sit it in the window for a few hours and the charge should get you up and running.

Did you get it up and running? I have the same watch, purchased from the same place with the same issue😢

You could take the band off, but with how thin this watch is, I don't know how other straps would look.
@@DougFNJ I'm referring to the shape of the band. Casio is notorious for creating curves or notches where the bands meet the lugs. In these cases, a standard watch band/bracelet won't fit.
Great review Doug, love it!
Thanks Kyle, do you have one yet?
@@DougFNJ not yet
Great video! Does the auto time keeping feature set the watch to the second? I like to get my watches as close as possible using an atomic time website on my laptop.
Yes, and as opposed to Atomic Timekeeping, it’s able to update on the fly. Atomic tends to be very hot or miss.
How's the battery life on one of those? Does it adjust the date as well, if the month is shorter?
Battery life is great being solar, I have yet to need to change a solar battery in any of my collection, and I have had them for many years. Date also does change with the short month.
Can u check month??
It doesn’t display the month, but the month is synchronized so if a month has less than 30 days, it automatically turns.
Battery indicator?
No indicator on the actual watch, but when synched to your smartphone, you see it on the top left of the screen.
Bought one
Nice! which version, how do you like it so far?
Cool!
It is!
Not a fan of the octagon face. The colour combinations and watch features get a thumbs up though.
Pete :")
Yes, the shape is a love it or hate it. I like the uniqueness of it.
@@DougFNJ
I don’t hate it. :) Hate is too strong a word. :D
