Casio has launched the latest models in its Edifice line-up of metal watches designed to convey the concept of ‘speed and intelligence’.
The new Smartphone Link EQB-500 watches feature dramatically improved usability of world time functions.
In 2012, Casio released a G-Shock watch that pairs with a smartphone using Bluetooth Smart technology to notify the wearer of incoming calls or emails.
Since then, Casio has been using this technology to create all new ways to use its watches, including STB-1000, that display fitness data and GBA-400, that can control a music player.
Now, Casio is releasing the new Smartphone Link EQB-500, pictured below, line-up of Edifice watches featuring all the benefits of a quality wristwatch, including a solar-powered movement, waterproof toughness and a refined design that only a metal watch can offer, while also enabling smartphone connectivity.
Each watch can connect to a smartphone with just one push of a button and automatically adjust the time to the local time while correcting for daylight savings time if necessary.
Furthermore, users can easily set the time corresponding to about 300 cities worldwide just by selecting from maps and city lists included in a Casio smartphone app. The centre-positioned hour and minute hands along with one of the inset dials not only simultaneously display the time for two different cities, but can also switch the time being displayed on each with only a push of a button.
This ‘Dual Dial World-time’ lets users, for example, quickly check the time in their home country as well as the time in the locations of their business trips and holidays.
* The models, in silver and black, are available in Ashrafs showrooms in Bahrain. For more information call 17520218.
