Ever imagined wearing a watch on your finger instead of your wrist? Casio has just given you the chance! To celebrate the 50th anniversary of its legendary digital timepiece, the company has unveiled a quirky, ring-sized version known as the CRW-001 Ring Watch, perfect for those who love nostalgia and uniqueness.

Priced at $120, this charming little device might seem like a smart ring at first glance, but don't be fooled—its retro style sets it apart. Featuring a classic 1970s square face, a sturdy stainless steel band, and an easy-to-read LCD screen, this watch serves one purpose: telling time and date. It sports three physical buttons that offer straightforward functionality, resembling a regular, albeit tiny, digital watch.

Though it includes a handy alarm feature, don’t expect an audible alert; instead, the watch's backlight will flash to grab your attention. The CRW-001 is waterproof and boasts an impressive battery life of up to two years, making it both practical and low-maintenance.

However, if you’re looking for high-tech features like fitness tracking or heart rate monitoring, you’ll want to look elsewhere. This watch is all about simplicity, making it a perfect fit for retro technology enthusiasts or anyone wanting a whimsical conversation starter. Just imagine showing up at a gathering with a tiny watch on your finger—talk about a head-turner!

Unfortunately, the watch only comes in one size (10.5), which may limit its appeal. Casio does offer spacers for those with smaller fingers (sizes 9 and 6), but larger sizes are left out in the cold.

Where to Buy Casio's CRW-001 Ring Watch

Mark your calendars! Though Casio hasn't specified a precise release time, the CRW-001 is set to launch on December 26, available exclusively on their website, casio.com. Currently, their landing page features a "Notify Me" button, giving eager buyers a chance to stay updated. However, it’s already been reported that some orders are popping up on eBay for nearly $500, signaling that early stock might have already sold out, especially since the watch has already quick-sold in Mexico and Japan.

If you're yearning to own this unique piece of retro tech, your choices are clear: fork over a premium to scalpers or sign up for restock notifications. Don’t miss out—this tiny watch could be your next big fashion statement!
