Is Casio's Innovative 50th Anniversary Watch Actually a Ring in Disguise?

To commemorate its 50th year in watchmaking, Casio has taken a whimsical approach with the launch of the Casio CRW-001-1JR—a hybrid creation that straddles the line between a watch and a ring.

The CRW-001-1JR is a tiny wearable that still packs a punch: it tells time in two time zones, displays hours, minutes, seconds, and dates, and even comes equipped with alarms and a stopwatch. 

Yes, it's a ring-sized Casio, complete with three buttons to manage these features.

The design doesn't compromise on durability, either. It sports a stainless steel body crafted through metal injection molding, making it sturdy at just 16 grams. 

Waterproof and paired with a retro LED display, the CRW-001-1JR is as functional as it is fashionable.

Sized at 22 (equivalent to a U.S. ring size 10.5), Casio has cleverly included spacers for adjustability.

For reference, this mini marvel is heavier than most modern smart rings. The Oura Ring 4 weighs around 5.2 grams, while Samsung's Galaxy Ring tips the scale at 3 grams—together, they're still lighter than Casio’s offering. For now, this adorable innovation is exclusive to Japan, retailing at 19,800 Yen (approximately $129).
