Syncs with Smartphone to Track Time in Approx. 300 Cities Worldwide

If you're a car enthusiast, you might recognize Casio's watch brand 'Edifice,' which supports the Red Bull F1 team. Edifice has now launched a new item that syncs with smartphones, allowing users to track time in over 300 cities worldwide.

The standout feature of the Edifice EQB-500 is its ability to automatically adjust to local time simply by pressing a button on the watch. Furthermore, all settings are managed through a smartphone app, making it far simpler to operate than traditional world time functions. It also includes a feature that automatically corrects the time at user-defined intervals.

Incidentally, since September 1, 2014, restrictions on the use of electronic devices aboard aircraft have been eased, allowing the constant use of electronic devices that perform wireless communication. For those who were hesitant to use them, this has created a more comfortable in-flight environment.

The Ultimate Tool for Transits

Departing from Haneda Airport
The EQB-500 allows for simultaneous display of time in two cities: home time (main hour and minute hands) and world time (small hour and minute hands at the 9 o'clock position). Operation is simple. First, download the dedicated smartphone app 'CASIO WATCH+.' Once paired with your smartphone, you can use it seamlessly abroad. We began by setting the world time to Dubai, allowing us to set the local time more easily without relying on in-flight announcements.


Arriving in Dubai, Milan, and London
Upon arrival, confirm the local network signal and press and hold the button marked with a Bluetooth symbol at the 8 o'clock position on the Edifice. This links the watch to your smartphone, smoothly changing it to the local time. The operation is remarkably simple. For busy business travelers, this ease of use is a significant advantage.
