Casio America, Inc. is adding two new models to its sophisticated, EDIFICE collection of timepieces – the super slim EQB-1000XD and EQB-1000XDC. Designed to go from the boardroom to the ballpark, these new timepieces sport a sleek, slim case design – 30 percent thinner than previous models – and are equipped with a variety of features including Bluetooth connectivity and Casio’s Tough Solar Technology. 

To provide an additional layer of accurate timekeeping, the EQB-1000XD timepieces can be paired to a smartphone with just a push of a button. By downloading the CASIO WATCH+ app and connecting to a compatible smartphone via Bluetooth technology, the watches can access the correct time in their current location and for up to 300 cities worldwide, even updating with the latest time zone and daylight saving time information.

Additionally, the new timepieces offer Dual Dial World Time which enables users to view the current time, in addition to the time in another time zone simultaneously. A sub-dial also indicates a.m. or p.m. at a glance. This keeps users on time, all the time, no matter where they happen to be.

The new EQB-1000XD and EQB-1000XDC also feature a Tough Solar chronograph with enhanced charging technology that can efficiently store energy for power as well as maintain a charge. Casio’s Tough Solar technology consists of a solar panel system that converts light to electricity and eliminates the need for battery changes. It can even be charged in low or fluorescent light. After a full-charge and without further exposure to light, the timepiece has a battery life of approximately five months. Additional features include water resistance up to 100 meters, a 1/1000th second stopwatch, 200 lap memory, a daily alarm, full auto calendar and more.

Casio’s EQB-1000XD timepieces boast a sapphire crystal watch face with non-reflective coating and a stainless-steel case and band, and will be available in two styles: black watch face with red accents and a silver stainless steel band (EQB-1000XD;MSRP: $330); and black watch face with blue accents and a black stainless steel band (EQB-1000XDC;MSRP: $380). Both models will be available this spring at select jewelry and watch retailers nationwide, as well as Casio.com.
