Right now, Amazon is offering the Casio Edifice EFB-108D-1AV watch at $84 - a 35% discount from its typical price of around $129 and only $11 above its lowest-recorded price ($73). If you've been considering getting an Edifice model, here's a balanced take on what you'll be getting for your money.
The EFB-108D has a pretty straightforward look - a black dial, stainless-steel case and band, and a slim 8mm profile. One thing that's a plus point here is the sapphire crystal on the dial, which is usually reserved for pricier watches due to its resistance to scratches. Having it at this price is definitely appealing.
Amazon reviews are generally positive, averaging 4.6 out of 5 stars from around 137 ratings. Owners like its sleek look and solid performance, especially its durability during daily wear. But a few users mentioned the watch feels larger on the wrist than the listed 48mm diameter suggests, so if you have smaller wrists, this could be something to keep in mind.
If you're into outdoor activities, you'll be glad to know that the watch does offer a 100-meter water resistance rating, suitable for swimming and daily outdoor use, but don’t expect it to handle diving or rough watersports comfortably.
Overall, at $84, the Edifice EFB-108D is a strong contender as a practical, durable, and presentable everyday watch, but it's not without minor drawbacks. If you're comfortable with its size, and it isn't really a deal-breaker for you, it's certainly worth a closer look at the current price.
