Casio Watches for Work
Which Casio Watches Can I Wear for Work?
A common complaint about Casio Watches, is that the bands are made of Resin, and it “looks cheap” according to some buyers. Now, normally this isn’t a problem, but some folks want a watch they can take with them to work. That’s where the Edifice range comes in. In particular, the EFR-552, EFR-539 and the EFR-303L
The EFR-552 comes with either a Black Leather Strap, a Brown Leather Strap or if you prefer stainless steel, there’s a two-tone Stainless Steel and Rose Gold model. Now, these watches differ quite a bit from the Casios we usually have on sale. Mainly because they’re purely analogue (a rarity these days).
In all three cases, the watch has what’s known as a screw lock back, which helps protect the module, as well as making the watch as water resistant as possible. It still has a stopwatch, but an analogue version called a Chronograph. May take a little while to get used to, but even NASA prefers analogue chronographs to the digital stopwatches!
If you’re worried about being able to see the analogue hands (a common worry for people who are used to digital watches, the hour markers stand out like they’re popping out of the screen, so even with bad eyesight, it’s pretty easy to see the time. A small advantage that the stainless steel band has over the leather bands, is you can buy more links for it to increase the band length.
Now, as mentioned before, you might be interested in the EFR-539L series. All three have leather bands, with a choice of Dark Brown, Light Brown or a Light Blue leather band. Each of these watches come with a matching colour display. As before, these watches have a screw lock back, but also have Ion Plated bezels, which are much tougher than Resin bezels.
Finally we have the EFR-303L. This watch serves two purposes because while it looks great at work, it’s also a traveller’s watch. The display even has a world map to go with the Traveller’s motif. The stainless steel analogue markers are very easy to see, while the leather band means it’ll look good on your wrist.
An added advantage to the 303L is the ability to have the World Time showing on your watch. Located at the top of the display, you can even pre-program the dial with a specific city, and it will always show that city’s time. Helpful if you’re away on long trips.
Another advantage is the watch has a low battery warning, so you won’t be caught by surprise!
Well, there you have it. If you’re after a watch that you can proudly wear at work, one of these three models will definitely do the trick.
Until Next Time. Jimmy B.
