    What a great video of what people SHOULD be calling a *Casioak* , not the GA2100, which looks NOTHING like a royal oak.
    This, i must admit looks rather nice, even nicer than the ga2100/2110 models, though it seems a bit too small for me.
    Would look perfect in a 42mm - 44mm size.

      i have this since late last year. i have about 6.75 inch to 7 inch wrist. this looks rather large actually on my wrist. dont forget. it dont have a dive bezel so the dial by itself already looks big. same with some vintage dress style GS and KS seiko that have basically just a huge dial and essentially nothing else on the watch case. so even 35 or 36mm looks huge. e.g. the 1st model of GS and KS (they basically look the same, just the GS looks even more refined )

    I got my EFR-S108D back in July, the white dial version. It really looks stunning in person, perhaps nicer than on photos, in videos, the thinness is incredible, but I also agree with the negatives in the review. The second hand is all over the place, that's my biggest gripe, and the bracelet does feel a little cheap while looking okay. I'd love to try it on different straps, but as it's integrated, the chances of that are slim to none, I did some looking around for something that could fit, but gave up. Also a screw-down crown would be nice. Anyway, it's still a great watch for the price, paying hommage to Gerald Genta very tastefully, if one's okay with the integrated bracelet, should just go for it!

  • @MW-pw9ip
    @MW-pw9ip 3 года назад +8

    Thank you for the review. Surprised at the second hand not hitting the marker…I also looked at this because of the sapphire, but ultimately wanted something a little extra and got the Oceanus T200. No regrets on that purchase and would certainly consider future Edifice models. I like the Tough Movement and Solar options I see in them (sapphire too).

    i bought this about 1 year ago.... this isn't launched in 2021 but 2020 i reckon .... the watch is very light and very easy and comfy to wear. and looks great too . i eventually regretted and bought the White dial version of the same watch... will resell this black gold version soon.... i too lazy and too busy over 2021.

  • @yellownine
    @yellownine 3 года назад +6

    As a rule, under 300 dollars you won’t find a quartz/solar movement that has second hand alignment correction built into it. That’s why i am a huge fan of oceanus. The t200s is great and has a real luxury feel to it - zero corners cut. Edifice is good for it’s price though, i own a solar chronograph and very happy with it

  • @gymy20

    I always enjoy your videos, and at least a couple of my watch-buying decisions were influenced by them. I don't know yet if I'll be picking this one up, but it is a possibility. I do already own a GA2100 and several other G-Shocks.

  • @stavros_katsopr
    @stavros_katsopr 3 года назад +2

    Love how thin this watch is. Not the bezel though, as i'm not a fan of AP. But, if Casio makes this on solar, i would think it over, twice, even... thrice!!! LOL

    Every other year I pore over the Edifice offerings looking for something interesting. If anything I might get a EVF-110 variant. 38MM ! The EVF-100 are larger but they gave up trying to sell the EVF-110 as a ladies' watch; they're now "unisex". A bit of an Aqua Terra vibe.
    I went down the rabbit hole 2 years ago of looking at various North American and European models but never picked one. Today I only see about 3 models.

    I'd be more interested in quartz watches if the seconds hand more consistently hit all the markers. However, I've personally not seen a watch that actually achieves this feat. Maybe I'm too OCD about it, but it really drives me nuts when they don't align so I stay away from quartz.

    • @lookatwrist
      @lookatwrist 3 года назад +1

      You need to get a watch that senses and trims the second hand. Any quartz watch with perpetual calendar or atomic sync probably has that. An Oceanus or PCAT should hit the marks perfectly, and adjust imperceptably if they drift.

      I wouldn't, Pagani design have some serious quality issues with many of their watches, I've got a pd1651 and though it looks nice, its quality is lacking in places where an equivalent priced Casio destroys it in (bezel reliability, time keeping accuracy, dial indices alignment, case machining (amongst many others), they may use better materials, but are certainly not as well made as a cheaper casio.
