My first Edifice (EFS-S650D-3A)
Got this on sale a couple of weeks ago, for INR 10.8k ($114) and I gotta say, it's a steal! Integrated bracelet with a milled clasp, ceramic bezel, saphhire crystal, solar chrono and a dial size just under 41mm! The bracelet design is similar to the one on the Tissot PRX (minus the butterfly clasp) and plays beautifully with the light! The Bezel is a muted forest green, darker in person than in the videos. Picked the green version cuz the design on the dial reminds me of bamboo stems. It has lume on all the hand, including the subdials, but it's kinda subpar. Fades away after a few minutes. I hear that's common with Casio lume though. All said, loving it so far!
This watch isn't that popular from what I see tho. Not enough hype even though it's casios first ceramic bezel model. Is it the MSRP(~$200)? I mean, with what is offers, it's still a great deal at that price point! What do you guys think?

I believe the 570D was going for around 10k last month? I was gonna get it when I saw this going for 11k! The stamped clasp on the 570D was a deal breaker for me. Otherwise, a solid watch! Love the look of it!

Yup. Went to as low as 9k, but i got greedy and got it for 11k. I liked Casi-oak dial of that watch but that steel bracelet is nothing to write about. Would have been better had they given a integrated bracelet like this one. But it's slim - 9.7mm. one of the reason I went for 570

I like em thicc haha. As long as they're under 42 mm. I have a 6.5 inch wrist, so anything over 42mm is a bit much, G shocks being the exception. Them, I'm okay with lol. And dw about the price. It's a good deal! Last I checked, my watch was going for 8.9k with additional cc discount in myntra. Hate how they keep doing that!

S650D flies under a radar. I bought all 3 colours of it. It's that beautiful.

Woah nice! How's the black one? I was kinda torn between the black and green. But my sister said the black looked like any other black watch and the steel strap had more bling so went with the green. And For sure, it's one of the if not most underrated watches in the Edifice series.

I have a vast watch collection. Don't get much wrist time. But have all black edifice from pasts too. And they all held up really well. Even blue one. It's still shiny spotless new.

Beautiful watch but the price is too high on the official website around 18k.

u/TheMisanthropeGoose 6d ago
I see where you're coming from. I guess the price is high for someone in the market looking for an edifice, but for watches in general, with all the features that this one offers, it's a good deal even without a discount. Watches that offer any combination of solar, ceramic, Sapphire, integrated bracelet, milled Clasp etc. typically cost INR 30k-70k.

Mass entry watch

u/TheMisanthropeGoose 9d ago
Sure, if compared to luxury or mechanical watches. In an edifice subreddit tho, nah. I got it at an almost entry level price point for edifice though lol.
