Just when you thought wristwatches couldn’t get any more compact, Casio slips time onto your finger. In honor of its 50th anniversary, Casio unveils the CRW-001-1JR Ring Watch—a daring reimagining of how we wear time.
This isn’t merely a shrunken-down timepiece; it’s a fully functional watch that adorns your finger. Drawing inspiration from the G-SHOCK full-metal B2100 and B5000 series, the Ring Watch distills those familiar designs into a sleek band that does more than just accessorize.
Using advanced Metal Injection Molding technology, Casio injects powdered metal into intricate molds, crafting a seamless, one-piece ring that houses the watch’s case, back cover, and band. The result is an airtight construction achieved through precise glass bonding techniques, ensuring durability without skimping on style.
Water-resistant for everyday wear, this ring goes beyond aesthetics. Its 7-segment LCD screen displays hours, minutes, seconds, dates, and even tracks dual time zones—ideal for the globetrotter or anyone juggling multiple time frames. There’s also a stopwatch function and a subtle flashing light that illuminates at set times, adding a touch of futurism to your gestures.
Powered by a tiny battery, the Ring Watch brings digital precision right to your fingertips. It’s a fusion of fashion and function that feels distinctly of the moment.
Set to release in December, the CRW-001-1JR Ring Watch will be available through Casio, priced at ¥19,800 JPY (approximately $128 USD). As Casio continues to celebrate its half-century milestone, this innovative piece stands out as a testament to the brand’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of wearable tech.
