CASIO - Men's Watch EF-547D-1A1VEF

I'm not a poor man, but not a rich man either, however my taste in material possessions seems to be unaware of this. My quest for a new watch begun after seeing the Omega Speedmaster Professional watch which retails for either £2800 or £3400 depending on whether you want the true space version or the dressier one. It's a stunning looking watch that my wallet simply cannot support, considering it costs around £400 to service it every 4 years so I'll never ever own one.I've always liked a nice watch but I'm certainly not an enthusiast, I had to google what a chronograph was when I saw this watch but it caught my eye being that it screams speedmaster at me. It's similar dimensions too so I can somewhat imagine how it feels to wear an Omega, but with change from £100 and made by a company who also make my calculator, good old Casio.The extent of my watch knowledge, review wise is that it looks great, closest I could see to the Omega, love the stopwatch function. Looks a lot more expensive than it was and instead of £400 per service, I'll use the old watch guy in the town who'll put a new battery in for a fiver. Note that I didn't buy this to try and make people think I have a speedmaster but I love the style of it and this is very close for a good price.

Aside from Amazon.co.uk who has this EF-547D with the black dial and black tachymeter bezel in stock, there are only a few other new EF-547D watches of any color style which are being sold by any online sellers. After these are sold, they are gone forever since Casio has discontinued this model.The EF-547D's chronograph is a 1 second chronograph. Elapsed time is up to 12 hours, after which the chronograph's hour dial rolls over. Chronograph elapsed time is unlimited if you keep track of how many times the hour hand on the chronograph's hour dial rolls past 12.I bought this watch to replace my barely used EF-547D which I gave to a friend. I also have another EF-547D with the white dial and blue bezel. I love both of these watches since they function very well and since they can be worn as dress watches. I have four Edifice watches (not including this one which was just delivered), and all four watches keep accurate time to within plus or minus 3 seconds per month. To be this accurate per month, the quartz crystals in all four of my watches inherently have an accuracy of 32768 Hz plus or minus 0.03 Hz, or a 0.0001 percent tolerance for the quartz crystals. This is remarkably good tolerance. Note: My observed monthly accuracy for my watches is based on using fresh watch batteries.In summary, this black-on-black Casio Edifice EF-547D is my favorite Casio watch in terms of overall appearance. Its appearance easily is nice enough to be worn as an unassuming dress watch. I wish that Casio had not chosen to discontinue this particular watch model.

Very nice looking watch. Great value for money. A bit in the heavy side but you get used to it. Really happy with this purchase! Strongly recommend.

A nice big dial that doesn't look too big on my 7.5inch wrist. It measures 43mm for the outer circle from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock and 47mm including the crown. Case thickness is 11mm and its 50mm lug to lug. The strap width is 22mm. I changed the bracelet for a black rubber one as i didnt find it comfortable while wearing it. The time second hand is in the bottom sub dial, the stop watch second hand is the big hand that sits at 12 o'clock on the big dial as can be seen in the picture. The lume is ok but the lume on the hands are a little too thin. A very nice watch that is very comfortable with the rubber strap that I have on it now.

This watch was purchased for my son as a gift. His response was very positive and he cherishes the watch in a way I would never have expected. The design is very classy and once adjusted does not look too blingy on my son's wrist. The dials are a little confusing at first, but once explained can be easily interpreted. This watch has encouraged my son to collect watches so i am very happy i decided to make this purchase as it has got him really excited about watches, which are obviously very important in today's society.

Although the design has been mostly copied from high-end swiss watches, this is a great looking value watch. I have owned it for 4 years and its working perfectly. Watch face is normal glass so does get scratched up though.Note it is a quartz (battery) watch. There are other mechanical watches at the similar price point by Seiko and etc for those looking for a more "quality" watch.

This watch is a very good looking timepiece. You will definitely get comments about it.It sits comfortably on your wrist and its weight is very nice, without tiring you. It is on the big side, but nothing chunky like you see these days. It is just about right.The strap will probably need 3/4 links removed depending on your wrist's size obviously.It has been keeping the time quite accurately and looks like it will be doing so for a long time. Will definitely get another one from the Edifice collection.

This is a great watch, nice finish, and good weight to watch. The only real disappointment is the flourescent glow at night which is not as bright as I had hoped. Otherwise really good quality for the price!
