The slimmest new EDIFICE watch is also a Bluetooth device

The EDIFICE EQB1000D-1A, a new watch with a case only 8.9 millimeters (mm) thick. It is also one of the connected devices, which means it can connect to a smartphone app. This allows it to keep time accurately in over 300 locations.
Casio has released the EQB1000D-1A, the first in a new line of EDIFICE watches. These devices, the EQB-1000s, will have a 8.9mm case. This slim form factor houses a Smartphone Link module, and is up to 30% slimmer than in the original "connected watch" from this brand.
The EQB1000D-1A can use its iOS / Android app to automatically set itself to the correct time in "over 300 cities". In addition, it can be used to find a user's smartphone with the press of a button on the watch. The Bluetooth module that connects it to a mobile device is charged using Casio's Tough Solar Power technology, as is the watch itself.
This variant of the EQB-1000 series has a silver metallic finish, and retails for a recommended price of $ 300. It is available from the Casio website, or from selected retailers, from now.
