They know that you have a classic sense of style; you know there’s much more to the watch on your wrist. With its analog digital combination you can see the time in up to 2 time zones and the world time feature means you’ll never have to guess the time difference between your location and home. Add in a thermometer and dual stopwatches and this watch can go from work to play while keeping you in style. Powerfully styled and packed full of robust timekeeping and environmental features, the Casio Edifice stainless steel watch for men (model EFA120D-1AV) holds its own in both professional quarters and rugged outdoor terrain. This round analog/digital timepiece features a stainless-steel bezel framing a standard analog dial with white stick hour markers and thin oval skeleton hands. It also offers digital windows for showing current date as well as the watch's chronograph, which can measure events down to 1/100 of a second. Other stopwatch features include a 50-record memory, single stopwatch mode with lap times and total elapsed time, a dual mode with two independent lap times, and a 100-hour capacity. It also includes a thermometer that measures every even-numbered minute. Other timekeeping features include: * World time with 30 time zones (50 cities) with city code display and daylight saving on/off * Daily alarm * Countdown timer with 100-hour range * Auto Calendar (pre-programmed until the year 2099) * 12/24 hour formats This watch also features a stylish stainless steel bracelet, ±30-second accuracy per month, Afterglow backlighting, and water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet)--offering protection from accidental splashes as well suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and light recreational diving.

CasioWith the launch of its first watch in November 1974, Casio entered the wristwatch market at a time when the watch industry had just discovered digital technology. As a company with cutting-edge electronic technology developed for pocket calculators, Casio entered this field confident that it could develop timepieces that would lead the market.Today, Casio is focusing its efforts on solar-powered radio-controlled watches: the built-in solar battery eliminates the nuisance of replacing batteries, atomic timekeeping means the users never have to reset the time. Recently, Casio launched a series of Bluetooth watches that sync to the users cell phone to automatically update the time. Casio is always moving time forward. See more

Stylish Cure For My "Hybrid" Watch Phobia
In the Casio Watch Galaxy, there are many (many!) watches of nearly every description and category, often with multiple variations on a given design, be it analog, digital, or a combination of the two.Not this one. Near as i can tell, it's pretty much in a league of its own.Not necessarily because of its shape, although there's nothing in Casio's lineup that I'd call similar - they have everything from watches that kinda-sorta ape the look of Cartier's famous Tank, to a fairly new one that kinda-sorta has a little fun at the expense of a certain ubiquitous smartwatch (ahem, Apple…and, well-played, Casio). This model, however, doesn't seem to have a peer, although it *does* pinch a little bit from one or two other watches outside the brand, and to very good effect.But let me back up a bit: generally, I hate analog-digital dial mashups, because in my not-at-all humble opinion, most of them are awful, the main issue being that in most cases the analog and digital parts of the dial are vying for your attention in equal measure, at the same time. But, from the watch maker's standpoint, I understand that it's a case of damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't: de-emphasise one display function/mode in favor of the other and you'll have critics hammering you mercilessly, so the easy way out, so it seems, is to put all the data "out there", leading to what I feel is an alphabet-soup of a mess on the dial, which is why I've avoided ana-digi watches with a passion, until now.With this Edifice, Casio chose the path of de-emphasising the digital portion, which essentially takes up the entire dial. The downside of this is that you have to work a little harder to glean the information offered this way, but the (serious) upside is that those analog hands are almost always easily discernible from almost any angle…and, if you're like most people (including most watch geeks), those hands are what you'll be getting the info you need from most of the time. Not that this works perfectly: while I'm really happy Casio chose to include lume on those hands, the quality of said lume leaves a bit to be desired in terms of strength…it tends to peter out completely in two hours or less.This, of course, is where the EL backlight comes in relatively handy: in medium-low light the backlighting might seems lackluster, but in lower light it's fine, and very even. There's even an option to have the backlight come on automatically by raising your wrist, which isn't too unusual for Casio, but this time it comes with twist: after what I can only guess is three to four hours of non-use [update - according to Casio, it's six hours] the automatic function turns off, leaving only manual operation.Style/Fit/Finish: Love it - love the case style and dimensions, and solid feel, all in stainless steel - not a shred of plastic to be found anywhere. Bracelet is constructed of pressed links, but even here the fit and finish is well above average, with a nice taper to the sturdy-enough-and-not-too-bulky pushbutton clasp. And, unlike the bracelets on other "cheap-seats" watches, this one doesn't attack arm hair. (I know…why can't Casio do this with *all* their cheaper watches with bracelets?) Crystal appears to be conventional mineral - won't scratch like acrylic/resin, but don't expect it to be as resilient as, say, Seiko's Hardlex, let alone sapphire.Function: Well, the analog hands are obvious, and, as Internet lore tells us, not easy to set up initially, as they operate separately from the digital time-setting process. While this can be a bit of a bear to deal with, keep in mind that you'll only need to do this *once*, at least until it's time to change the batteries, which presumably take about three years to deplete. Plus, there's one upside: this allows you to display two different time zones at once, with the analog hands displaying your local/home time while the digital display can be easily set for upwards of 50 cities 'round the world. Along with this, there's the usual list of largely-useful functions (stopwatch, countdown timer, REC functions for split-timing via stopwatch, alarm and hourly time signal, and, finally, thermometer. The thermometer function is what drives most people nuts, because the anticipation is that the watch will give you the ambient temperature of your location, indoors or out. Unfortunately, that's not how this thing works: since the watch obviously hugs your wrist, your body temperature will be the big factor here, which isn't terribly useful unless, perhaps, you're doing a long-distance cross-country skiing trek. There *is* something of a workaround for this, but it's tad too involved to get into here: you know what to do, and it usually starts with a "G."The Upshot: Seriously nice, seriously well-made/finished, functionality up the yin/yang while still looking stylish enough for dressing up for a night on the town (however you care to define that), and inexpensive enough not to have to overthink whether to buy it or not. Likely the only ana-digi watch I'll likely own for the foreseeable future. (Almost forgot: the *other* ana-digi I think is cool? Omega's X-33 Speedmaster, a/k/a the Mars Watch. A bit more expensive than the Casio, alas.)Highly Recommended.

In my opinion...
It's actually nicer than I expected. I was looking for a nice classy looking analog dress watch with maybe the date and day of the week. I also like the kewl things a geeky type watches does, but hate their size and look. This is a dress watch that looks great, but has a hidden geeky side too. How kewl is that!! I say hidden cuz the digital info is not easily seen unless u use the light. That's actually perfect for me. I don't need to see the temperature and what day it is everytime I look at the thing. You can see the digital info, but it is not well lit, and some ppl may not like that. The light that does light everything only works for a painfully short 1.5 seconds, and holding the light button down doesn't keep it on any longer. Three seconds would be much better, but it gets the job done if ya don't blink. The temperature is actually pretty accurate once you calibrate it. The geek side of me likes that. It's not an easy watch to set-up, but if u read the directions, u should be fine. The watch has a way kewl function (that u can turn on or off) that when u hold the watch horizontal and tip it towards u so u can see the time, the light automatically comes on. I figure that function is a real battery eater though, which is why I won't miss it, as it worked for one whole day then stopped working. As I didn't know the watch did that when I bought it and wouldn't use that function anyway, I won't miss it. Overall, it's not perfect, but I love it. It does what I want, looks great, and it's a watch that I would recommend to my fellow online shoppers. Happy timekeeping. LOL

Decent but some things to know
Negative displays are a hit and miss, mostly misses unless you're into them. Depending on the angle and lighting it will be difficult to read the digital negative display. However, at least the analog hands have good contrast with the black background. I wouldn't rely on the temp sensor but it's nice to have. You could technically have dual time since the analog and digital time are separate from each other. But I keep them the same due to the aforementioned difficult to read negative display. I also do like that the backlight isn't an LED like newer Casio's. I am not too particular to Casio's Edifice range of watches but this one is one of the better looking ones. It fits pretty good, though the bracelet only has two micro adjusts. Setup was a bit involved due to having to setup both analog and digital separately so you'll want to read the manual for this one.

Quality watch for $45
The watch is 100% stainless steel for the case and the band. It is well made and looks more like a $100 range watch. This is unlike other similar watches in this price region where the case might be plastic with a stainless steel topshell. This watch is a little more heavy due to the stainless steel material and it feel a little more expensive than its price. The polish and matt finish is well done, no indication that its a cheap watch.To adjust the links, try checking some youtube videos on how to do this. I watched a couple of the videos. Then I try it out on my watch and succeeded in taking out the links.The temp sensor is 20 deg F off so I have to calibrate it using my room temp sensor reading as reference.Manual is well written and instructions are clear. The functions for the buttons are in typical casio layout. So casio users wont find any problem using it.Only con is the digits are a little too small - could be bigger. Another con is t measure temperature you need to take the watch off the wrist and away from any heat source.Overall, this is a very nice and functional watch.
