Casio is set to launch its first-ever ‘smart ring’, the CRW-001-1JR, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of its initial digital watch release.
The smart ring resembles a Casio wristwatch in shape but is designed to be worn on the finger. According to The Verge, despite its compact size of just an inch, it features an LCD screen that can display hours, minutes, and seconds.
Additionally, the smart ring includes three buttons for controlling various functions such as displaying the date or time in different time zones, a stopwatch, built-in light, and an alarm feature.
The battery life of the CRW-001-1JR is estimated to last up to two years before needing replacement, distinguishing it from devices like the Samsung Galaxy Ring and Oura Ring 4.
The CRW-001-1JR will be available in Japan starting December and is priced at 19,800 Yen, approximately £100/$127.
