Casio Celebrates 50 Years with a Ring Watch

Casio celebrates its 50th anniversary with the CRW-001 Ring Watch, a compact yet stylish digital timepiece worn on the finger. Here’s everything you need to know.

Casio is known for its durable and innovative digital watches, and now the brand has taken a bold step into the world of ring watches. The CRW-001 is a stylish, fully functional digital timepiece designed to be worn on the finger, marking a significant milestone in Casio’s 50-year history.

The CRW-001 features a 6-digit LCD display that shows the time, calendar, and dual time zones. Despite its small size, the ring watch is equipped with three buttons for easy navigation, allowing users to switch between different functions effortlessly. One of its standout features is a pulsing light that emits a subtle glow at preset times, adding both functionality and a unique aesthetic touch.

Built using advanced metal injection molding (MIM) technology, the CRW-001 has a sleek full-metal design that ensures durability while maintaining a lightweight feel. The ring has an inner diameter of 20 mm, making it a size 22 (US 10.5, EU U). To accommodate different finger sizes, Casio includes two size-adjusting spacers, allowing for a better fit.

This release is more than just a new product—it’s a tribute to Casio’s roots. The company’s history dates back to 1946 when its predecessor, Kashio Seisakujo, developed the yubiwa pipe, a ring-style device that freed up workers' hands while they smoked. The CRW-001 Ring Watch honors that legacy by blending classic craftsmanship with modern technology.

The CRW-001 is currently listed on Casio’s official Philippine website with a price tag of PHP 9,660. While its availability in other regions remains unclear, interested customers should check Casio’s website or authorized retailers for updates.

Casio’s entry into the ring watch market signals a shift in wearable technology, offering users a compact and stylish alternative to traditional wristwatches. Whether this trend catches on remains to be seen, but the CRW-001 is already making waves as a collector’s item and conversation piece.
