While interest in wearable technology is rapidly increasing, Casio attracts attention with its newest move in this field. The company announced the CRW-001-1JR model digital ring watch, designed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its entry into the digital watch business. This Casio ring watch product will be available in Japan in December and will have a price tag of approximately 19,800 yen, or approximately 4,400 TL.
The Casio CRW-001-1JR offers impressive functionality in a chassis that is just under an inch smaller. Equipped with a retro-style six-segment LCD display, this ring can display hours, minutes and seconds. However, thanks to the three functional buttons on it, users can easily access additional features such as date, a different time zone or stopwatch.
In addition, the case and frame made of stainless steel add both durability and elegant appearance to the product. In addition to all these, the lighting feature on the screen offers comfortable use even in dark environments. The alarm function is designed to flash the screen; This makes the product a quieter option.
Details and usage features of Casio’s ring watch
This model from Casio is produced with metal injection molding technique and has a one-piece design. Thus, a very precise and high-quality appearance was achieved in terms of details. However, the size of the ring is not adjustable and is fixed at US size 10.5. While there are a few spacers in the box to make it suitable for small fingers, no special solution is offered for users with large fingers.
One of the most notable features of the CRW-001-1JR is its durability. This watch, which can be used for approximately two years with a single battery, also becomes a reliable option for daily use with its waterproof feature. A practical advantage is that it can be easily replaced by users when the battery runs out.
Last year, Casio launched ring collections that offered similar designs but were not functional. However, CRW-001-1JR, introduced this year, appears before users as both a nostalgic and innovative product. It can be said that the company aims to provide users with both an aesthetic and practical experience in daily life with this ring watch.
Casio’s digital ring watch shows how wearable technology can be combined with a minimalist design. Inspired by traditional watch designs, this ring watch can be an attractive option especially for users looking for a lightweight and portable device. However, the limited size options and design of the CRW-001-1JR may be considered a limiting factor for users with different expectations.
This product, offered by Casio for its 50th anniversary, also carries clues about how wearable technologies may evolve in the future. The company can be expected to further develop this concept and offer different designs in the future.
