2.  An Acer Aspire D257 unboxing.

3.  An Acer Aspire D257 RAM upgrade.

4.  An Acer Aspire D257 running Windows 8 (Dual Booting)

5.  A quick unboxing and review of a D-Link Powered 7 USB Hub

6.  And loads more…

Casio Edifice EF-552PB-1A2VEF – Unboxing

So personal choice of watch is the Casio G-Shock, however I am partial to the Edifice range also. The Edifice range feels more formal and therefore may be more suitable for certain circumstances.

An Edifice for example may give a better first impression at a job interview than say a bright yellow G-Shock, then again the G-Shock could actually say a lot more about you than a metal banded watch. Who knows? Who cares? Let’s just settle for they are a different style of watch that may suit you sometime when you fancy a different style of watch!

Casio Edifice EF-328D-1AVEF – Unboxing

I am a huge fan of the Casio G-Shock range and like all G-Shock wearers sometimes we feel the need for a more formal watch, without losing the grunt that a G-Shock affords.

This is where Casio noticed a spot in the market, and hence you have the Casio Edifice range. These watches are huge in Japan, almost a sub culture which started from the G-Shock fraternity. You will find a huge number of G-Shock collectors are equally keen on the Edifice and whilst often ‘cheaper’ in the European market some of the Edifice range can sport a price tag amongst collectors that would make Tag or Rolex wearers raise an eyebrow!

This is my first dip into the Edifice world and I have to say I am hugely impressed, this thing is big, heavy, obvious and at the same time, sleek, and tidy.

I won’t waste anyone’s time with a review, or insult anyone’s intelligence, but here are the top points…

1. It is a watch, it tells the time!
2. It also tells the date!
3. It has a chronograph.
4. It even tells you the day!

Casio SGW-300H-1AVER Unboxing

G-Shocks are my thing, they are indestructible, well almost, and I like things like that, just look at my choices of phone cases, iPad covers and so on, however I seen this little Casio (non G) on a forum, brand new as an unwanted gift, and at a great price, pretty much half the RRP. It was too good to let go, especially as it had the Altimeter / Barometer/ Thermometer sensor as featured on the G-Shock I currently have my eye on. I saw this as a good opportunity to evaluate this feature at a fraction of the price. If it is good, G-Shock gets bought, if not at least I know and my eye can wander at another!

The first thing I noticed is how so different this watch feels from my G’s. It feels light and flimsy, the strap feels as if it may actually break, it has a big face (50mm) but it feels light. The clasp looks small, the buckle is small and looks weak. Then I realised it’s not going to break, it is not delicate, it is just not a G. This is what normal watches feel like. I’m jsut used to wearing a tank commanders watch on my arm.
