Casio has unveiled an innovative new product to mark its 50th anniversary—the CRW-001-1JR Ring Watch. With a release date scheduled for December 26, the brand’s latest timepiece reimagines the concept of wearable technology by combining fashion and functionality in a sleek, ring-sized design. This unique piece takes inspiration from Casio’s popular G-SHOCK models, particularly the full-metal B2100 and B5000 series, and brings the world of timekeeping right to your fingertips.
A Fresh Take on Timekeeping
The CRW-001-1JR Ring Watch stands out with its miniaturized design, offering all the core features of a traditional Casio watch but in the form of a ring. It’s an entirely new way to wear a watch—compact, stylish, and functional. The watch uses advanced Metal Injection Molding (MIM) technology, where powdered metal is injected to create the detailed and complex shape of Casio’s signature designs in a compact, ring-sized version. The watch case, back cover, and ring are molded together using glass bonding technology to ensure the design is airtight, adding to the durability of this modern accessory.
Features and Functionality
Despite its smaller form factor, the CRW-001-1JR is packed with features that Casio enthusiasts have come to love:
- Dual Time Zones: Displaying time across two different time zones, this feature is ideal for travelers or anyone needing to keep track of multiple locations at once.
- 7-Segment LCD Display: The watch showcases time in hours, minutes, seconds, and date, as well as dual time and stopwatch functions. This small yet functional screen is perfect for on-the-go time management.
- Waterproof Design: Built for everyday wear, the CRW-001-1JR is waterproof for typical activities, providing reliability in various environments.
- Flashing Light Function: Adding a touch of flair, the watch is equipped with a subtle flashing light that illuminates your hand at a set time, making it not just functional, but a stylish statement piece as well.
Power and Price
Powered by a small, long-lasting battery, the CRW-001-1JR promises precision and longevity without the bulk of traditional watches. This innovative timepiece blends digital precision with compact convenience, making it an ideal choice for those who want the performance of a Casio but in a cutting-edge, wearable form.
The CRW-001-1JR Ring Watch is priced at ¥19,800 JPY (approximately $128 USD) and will be available for purchase from Casio’s official webstore starting on December 26, just in time for the holiday season.
