Casio Edifice EQB-501 hands-on: A modern, smart chronograph

Smartwatches are here to stay, but for some, they’re an unnecessary annoyance. Constant bleeping, notifications and attention-grabbing might be your idea of a nightmare. However, it is possible to have a regular analogue watch that uses a smartphone’s smarts to keep it in time accurately.

Enter the latest Casio Edifice lineup. From the outside, they look like ordinary watches, but they’re far from it. Using an app on your phone, they’re versatile, accurate and can change timezones.
