Overview of Casio’s EFB-109D Series
Recently, there has been some buzz surrounding Casio’s upcoming EFB-109D series, which promises to introduce two new variants: the EFB-109D-1V, equipped with a sleek black dial, and the EFB-109D-2AV, featuring a striking blue dial with solar illumination. Both watches are distinguished by their simple yet refined design, highlighting functionality without unnecessary embellishments.
The timepieces boast a case that measures 43.5 mm in height, 38.5 mm in width, and 9.2 mm in thickness, all crafted from matte stainless steel. The dials are minimalist, with large hour markers, minute indices, a date window positioned at the 3 o’clock mark, and a second hand for precision timekeeping.
One of the key features of these watches is the sapphire glass, known for its remarkable scratch resistance, making it an ideal material for a durable timepiece. The watches are also water-resistant up to 100 meters, meaning they are suitable for daily wear and swimming activities, adding a layer of versatility to their design.
Casio has equipped these models with a quartz movement, providing reliable accuracy and a battery life of up to three years. While these models do not include solar charging capabilities or smart functionalities, they excel in offering consistent, precise timekeeping at an affordable price point.
Although the official pricing has not yet been confirmed, it is expected that these new models will be available at a more budget-friendly rate compared to their predecessors, which can be found retailing for around $119. With their modern design and robust features, these timepieces are likely to attract attention from a wide range of consumers.

Furthermore, Casio has also made headlines with the official European release of its AE-1600H series, with the AE-1600H-1V and AE-1600H-8BV now available in stores across the Netherlands, France, and Italy. Previously, these models were available in the United States under the same names. The AE-1600H series consists of digital watches that Casio markets as «practical» and «rugged»—qualities that make them an appealing choice for those seeking a reliable, everyday timepiece.
