Customer reviews
A really nice watch, BUT the start is IMPORTANT! by .. Gerhard Moeller (Calamity Creek, TX)
I love this watch! That said, 1 hour after unpacking it I was convinced it was broken
and ready to send it back. NOT SO FAST! This watch is SOLAR powered. Yes it can maintain a sufficient
charge to function for one day if under flourescent light for 8 hrs, but its delivered to you after being in a totally
dark box (a cute Casio can) for a few months at least! Mine arrived with the display blank and the
analog hands frozen. No problem I thought..just a few minutes under a hologen lamp
and I'm good to go...right. Not so much. I read the "Home time zone" and "Manual time
setting" sections of the manual and proceded to push the appropriate buttons. Chaos. Nothing
responded acording to the manual. The problem.....not enough juice. When you get this watch
you should put it in direct sunlight (outdoors preferably) for 6 to 8 hrs. before attempting
anything...and I mean anything. Then and only then go first to page E-34 of the manual and
set the "Home Position" of the hands. Then go to page E-49 and set your time zone and local
time manually. Then, after dark, try a "manual receive" of the atomic time. I say after dark
because unless you live within 600 miles of Clorado, you probably will not get a satisfactory
signal during daylight. THEN, READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL. Yes it is small print and somewhat
difficult to decifer. But you cannot enjoy or controll this timepiece without understanding the
operating system. Complicated?....perhaps....worth it?....YOU BET! This watch will last you
a lifetime and you'll never need to replace a battery, worry about dailight savings changes or
leap years or 30-31 day month settings and never need to set the time. Only occasionally
will you need to do maintainance of exact hand position. Once FULLY charged (27 hrs direct
sunlight) this watch will maintain itself with ambient daylight and office flourescent light.
Beware the "tilt backlight feature"....this really sucks the power and is not really useful
after the Gee-wiz factor wears off. ENJOY!
Solid, heavy, and classy solar atomic watch by .. Kurt G. Doerr (Venice, CA)
In buying a new watch I was looking for one with toughness, a little sophistication (solar, automatic, or kinetic), and a touch of elegance. I love the weight and feel of Seiko watches as well as the solar characteristics of Casio and Citizen (I own two of each). My current Casio dress watch (510A) of four years is of cheaper quality construction and very light, but the solar and atomic integrity are excellent and have endured to do this date. Ultimately, two decisions weighed in this purchase: The atomic timekeeping function of never having to adjust the time, and the integrity and toughness of the Casio brand.
I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised by this new Casio Edifice watch when it arrived. The quality is excellent- the band is of heavy stainless steal, shines with elegance, and carries a significant weight. It looks far better than pictured and my co-workers have all commented on the weight and feel. As for the learning curve, it took me about ten minutes to figure everything out (as I have been familiar with Casio watches). Any watch with several dials is going to have some learning arc, but to simplify things it helps to understand that one dial toggles through all the functions while the other two are for adjustment. As with my other solar watches, it is background charging so one doesn't need to expose it to direct sunlight. (Simply wearing it or letting it sit on the counter to exposed indoor lighting is sufficient to keep it charged). The atomic function calibrates at night (I keep it near the window), and has calibrated successfully every time (I live in Los Angeles).
I always hesitate purchasing Casio watches because the name implies a more "cheaper" brand. However, this is the most impressive watch from the line of Casio and mirrors the same quality in their higher line of Oceanus watches.
Edifice EQW700DBJ-1A...only the coolest watch ever! by .. Robert G. Weiniger ()
I waited quite a while to purchase a WWVB synchronized radio-telechronometer, or "atomic' watch", as these instruments are frequently called. The earliest ones were delicate, unreliable, and frankly much too 'geeky' for my tastes, which run to Omega, Rolex, Bell&Ross, IWC, etc. But given the recent quantum advances in radio controlled clocks and electronic technology generally, things have progressed to where such timepieces are compact, rugged, VERY dependable and of exemplary manufacture. Some, like this outstanding timepiece, also offer both classic elegance and contemporary European design. So I was fairly confident in selecting the Edifice EQW700DBJ-1A by Casio.
To say that I'm enormously impressed with this superbly executed precision instrument would be an understatment. Not to put too fine a point on it, but frankly, this watch just blows me away!
I could paraphrase the lavish praise this watch has already received (and quite deservedly so!) from Mr. Gerhard Moeller whose set up advice was invaluable to me (see my comment to his review), J. McKinley, and Mr. Kurt G. Doerr, but it would be redundant! These reviewers said it all...this is simply one stunning timepiece, and I give it my very highest recommendation.
To their comments, I only wish to add that from the moment I laid eyes on it, it was clear that I was in possession of a superior instrument of flawless design. Casio has made tremendous strides in the quality, technology, and sophistication of its Oceanus, Edifice and G-Shock watches. None of the photos of this watch you might find on the web, including my own, even begin to do her justice. This watch is classically handsome in that same ineffable way as an Omega Speedmaster, Rolex Daytona, or TAG Carrera...and it doesn't look out of place sitting proudly beside any of them. In fact, it would look equally appropriate with either a NASA EVA suit or an Armani.
Sorry, Mr. Bond...she's MINE!
ADDENDUM: After 6 months owning and wearing this timepiece continuously, I've come to love Casios solar/atomic technology, quality of materials and superb workmanship so much that I decided I've just GOT to have the top-of-the-line model MRG-8000B-1AJF...but at $2300.00 I'm going to have to sell off a few of my other timepieces in order to buy it. Hopefully, I won't need to sell THIS one...she's a pearl!
But if you're looking to buy this watch, why not consider buying mine, right here on Amazon. It's in excellent condition, runs perfectly, and priced to go!
Thanks,

100 Percent Satisfied! by .. J. VAUGHAN (Omaha, NE)
I followed the advice of other reviewers of this watch and read completely through the manual before I tried doing anything with the watch. Having owned a less expensive Waveceptor Solar Casio watch previously, I knew that it needed to be set in the light to charge the battery. So, that's where it went while I read the manual. Setup is easy and everything made perfect sense. The next step for me was to take my lunch break and go have the wrist band sized-down at a nearby jeweler. I could probably have done this myself, but they have all the right tools. I love this watch, and it looks as if it will last many years! I'm very picky about the alignment of the hands. With this watch, the alignment is PERFECT! You will not regret purchasing this watch!
Beautiful and bold by .. Sam Collins (Durham, NC)
I love this watch. It was easy to set up once I read the instructions. I really like the fact that it keeps itself set properly and charged as well... wear it a forget it...
