If watchmaking was a simple matter of timekeeping accuracy, the people who make them could have stopped trying a long time ago.
Which is to say, the fact that Casio’s latest release is probably the least accurate watch across its vast, ever-expanding catalog should do little to dampen enthusiast intrigue.
That’s because the EFK-100D is Casio’s first automatic watch and one that promises to appeal to both die-hard Casio-heads and seasoned watch nerds that can recite movements on demand.
Making moves
Speaking of movements, Casio turned to Seiko to supply its dependable NH35A workhorse widely used across the industry, especially among microbrands to keep their prices competitive.
Of course, it pales in accuracy compared to Seiko’s other legendary calibers. However, the NH35A is reliable enough and gives the watch a 40-hour power reserve with a daily rate of -35 to +45 seconds.
