Their Edifice line brings<br \/>\ntogether<br \/>\nboth digital and analog time keeping into sleek and modern designs.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:left;\">\n<p>An edifice is an imposing and permanent<br \/>\nstructure with the<br \/>\nsupport of a roof, foundation, and walls. It\u2019s both impressive and<br \/>\nreliable and<br \/>\nthat\u2019s exactly what the Edifice EQW700DBJ-1A brings to the table.<\/p>\n<p>The Men\u2019s Edifice EQW700DBJ-1A uses solar<br \/>\npower to energize<br \/>\nthe circuitry of the watch. Before \u201ctinkering\u201d around, I would suggest<br \/>\nputting<br \/>\nthe watch in direct sunlight for at least 5 hours prior to time setting.<br \/>\nAlthough a 5 hour sunbath is not a complete charge, it\u2019s sufficient<br \/>\nenough to<br \/>\nenergize the battery and allow ambient light to hold the charge during<br \/>\nthe<br \/>\nset-up process. The set-up process is a bit tedious affixing the hands<br \/>\nto the<br \/>\nhome position, setting the time zone and local time. Now you may attempt<br \/>\nthe<br \/>\nmanual receive for your watch to register the radio signals or WWVB<br \/>\nwaves. This<br \/>\nwill keep the time accurate to the U.S government\u2019s atomic clock so<br \/>\nyou\u2019ll<br \/>\nnever have adjust for day light savings time, leap years, etc. The watch<br \/>\nwill<br \/>\nthen utilize its auto receive function 6x per day to keep the time<br \/>\naccurate.<br \/>\nHowever, when traveling through zones you will have to manually adjust<br \/>\nthe time<br \/>\naccordingly. Similarly, the Casio line uses multi-band atomic<br \/>\ntimekeeping to<br \/>\nreceive calibrating radio signals in both the U.S and Japan. Although<br \/>\nset up<br \/>\nmaybe a bit much, it\u2019s definitely worth the time spent now that you have<br \/>\na<br \/>\n\u201clifetime\u201d watch.<\/p>\n<p>The EQW700DBJ-1A is constructed of<br \/>\nstainless steel with a<br \/>\npush button clasp, black dial, and quartz movement. It has a sleek and<br \/>\npolished<br \/>\nbuild that would complement all attire and occasions. The face is<br \/>\nbordered with<br \/>\na tachymeter scale used to calculate both speed and distance traveled<br \/>\nbased<br \/>\nrelatively. The watch has a lot more going on than appears, with<br \/>\nluminous hands<br \/>\nthat maintain glow after sunlight exposure and the auto LED light.<br \/>\nLikewise,<br \/>\nthe watch is equipped with a daily alarm and stopwatch on the digital<br \/>\nscreen.<br \/>\nIt also has dual time with both 12\/24 hour formats and has a depth<br \/>\nresistance<br \/>\nof 100M submerged. The battery power indicator is also a nice feature of<br \/>\nthe<br \/>\nwatch, displaying battery status before and after charge. Casio promises<br \/>\n5<br \/>\nmonth use on a full battery charge without additional light exposure and<br \/>\nan<br \/>\naccuracy of +\/- 20 seconds per month without signal calibration. The<br \/>\nwatch is<br \/>\nalso equipped with a \u201cstandby\u201d function to conserve battery life.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the EQW700DBJ-1A worked better<br \/>\nthan expected and<br \/>\nhasn\u2019t lost a second. I try not to put too much faith into intricate<br \/>\ndevices<br \/>\nsuch as these but am dually impressed.
