Ever thought about wearing a tiny digital watch on your finger instead of your wrist? Probably not, but Casio went ahead and made one anyway. It’s now back in stock after selling out quickly last year.
Casio’s Ring Watch Is Back After Selling Out Fast
Casio’s $120 CRW001-1, also known as the Ring Watch, is available again on the company’s website for the first time since it launched and quickly sold out in December. It was released to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Casio’s original digital watch. While it might look like a novelty at first, it’s a fully functional timepiece that has been praised as both a stylish accessory and a practical gadget.
No High-Tech Features, Just Pure Nostalgia
This ring-sized watch features Casio’s classic 1970s square face in full metal, with a silver stainless steel band and a sub-inch LCD screen that can display six digits. You can set the time in standard or military format. Around the tiny face are three functional buttons. One starts a stopwatch, another shows the date, and the third can display the time in another timezone.
There is also a simple alarm feature. Instead of making noise, the backlight flashes when the timer is up. The Ring Watch is waterproof and runs on a battery that should last about two years. When it runs out, you can easily replace it.
The watch comes in a single size (10.5), but Casio includes 16mm and 19mm spacers to help it fit smaller fingers, like sizes 9 and 6. If your fingers are larger than size 10.5, there are currently no other size options available.
What it doesn’t have are modern smart features. There is no fitness tracking, heart rate monitoring, or notifications. It is simply a mini digital watch made for your finger.
This device might not appeal to those looking for smart tech, but it’s a fun and nostalgic piece for fans of retro gadgets, digital watches, or anyone who thinks wearing a tiny wristwatch on a finger is cool.
