Casio, renowned for its digital watches, has launched a groundbreaking product—a watch that fits on your finger like a ring. Named CRW-001-1JR, this compact yet feature-packed device marks Casio's 50th anniversary. Set to release in December exclusively in Japan, the ring watch is priced at 19,800 yen (approximately ₹10,810).
A Tiny
Marvel with Classic Features
The
CRW-001-1JR combines Casio's signature digital watch features with an
innovative and minimalist design. Measuring less than an inch in size, it
boasts a small LCD screen that displays the time in hours, minutes, and
seconds. The watch also includes three tiny buttons for accessing additional
functions such as:
- Checking the date
- Setting a second time zone
Using a stopwatch
Constructed
with a durable stainless-steel frame and a light-equipped screen, the ring
watch ensures easy visibility, even in low-light conditions.
Unique
Features of the Ring Watch
- Silent
Alerts: Instead of a
speaker, the watch uses screen flashes for alarms, offering a discreet
notification system.
- Water
Resistance: Suitable
for everyday use, the ring watch is designed to handle splashes and brief
immersion.
- Long-Lasting
Battery: Powered by
a replaceable battery, it offers up to two years of use before a change is
needed.
Stylish
and Adjustable Design
At 20mm in
size, the ring watch comes with adjustable spacers, allowing it to fit finger
sizes of 19mm or 18mm. Casio describes it as a miniaturized version of its
classic digital watches, combining functionality and style in a unique form
factor.
Not a
Smart Ring, but a Functional Accessory
Unlike smart
rings such as the Galaxy Ring, the Casio ring watch does not include
fitness-tracking features like sleep monitoring or heart rate measurement.
Instead, it focuses on delivering essential watch functions in an elegant and
compact design, appealing to users who value simplicity and practicality.
The
CRW-001-1JR is a testament to Casio's legacy of innovation, offering a stylish
yet functional tribute to its five decades in the watch industry.
