Hands-On: The Casio Edifice EQB-600 Smartphone Link With 3-D Globe Dial

The sheer number and variety of smartwatches, connected watches, fitness trackers, and so on continues to proliferate. The biggest recent news was of course the introduction of the Apple Watch Series 2, which, with its new OS, both broadens the scope of possible applications for the watch and gives it an ability to focus more specifically on fitness and fitness related apps. The idea of making a watch that doesn’t try to be everything to everyone, but instead fills a certain purpose and appeals strongly to a certain audience, seems to be one we’ll see more of, and this is the direction in which Casio seems to be going too.

The versatility of the Vacheron Constantin Quai de l’Ile in steel

Pretty much every watch is introduced with one specific strap, or bracelet, and usually that’s what determines its looks. Of course, watch brands design the watch for a specific purpose,  and therefore the watch must have a matching look / style, so that’s all fully understandable. But it can also be kind of boring, especially for those who feel that their watch might also look good on a different strap, and befit a different style. For people who like to change the looks of their watch to the “style of the day” or to changing activities, a few brands deliver some of their watches with two or three straps or bracelets, and we applaud that. However when I saw the new steel Vacheron Constantin Quai de l’Ile on its alligator leather strap, I really wanted to see it on a more sporty and more casual strap, and Vacheron Constantin was so kind to let me give this a try. Since I was already fully convinced of the versatility of the watch, I’m now interested to find out what you think of the Quai de l’Ile in a different look.
