A popular digital watchmaker, Casio has recently introduced its first ring-sized watch. The unique feature of this ring is a little screen that displays the time in a classic Casio design. Hours, minutes, and seconds can all be seen on the new ring watch's seven-segment LCD screen, which is less than an inch. Additionally, it has three physical buttons that let you activate the stopwatch feature and see the date or time in various time zones.

As you might have seen in the picture. The ring watch also has a small case with a bezel made of stainless steel. The screen has a light source, which can be used to see the time in the dark. Interestingly, since the ring watch does not have a speaker, the watch screen glows when the alarm rings.

The Casio Ring may lead in front among the many competitors it has, including the Galaxy Ring. However, this does not support all kinds of fitness tracking, sleeping, heart rate, or blood oxygen levels. From the information provided by this website, the company proclaims a detailed reproduction of the Casio watches in full metal form has been made into ring size. Casio also adds that the ring watch is resistant to water for 'daily use' and incorporates a replaceable battery that could easily last up to 2 years. While the ring size is 20 mm, there are spacers provided in the package for fitting size adjustments for the inner diameter of 19 mm and 18 mm.

This new ring is christened CRW-001-1JR to mark the 50th anniversary of Watch Casio. It will be available in Japan by December for 19,800 yen, which is about Rs 10,810.

While leading brands such as Noise and boAt sell their smart rings in the Indian market, these do not come out with a display. Such being the case, this ring of Casio is especially different from the rest of its display features. In the market, boAt's smart ring is available at a starting price of Rs 3,799.
