Casio CRW-001-1JR: A Revolutionary Timepiece
Casio CRW-001-1JR
Casio is celebrating its 50th anniversary with something totally unexpected: the Casio CRW-001-1JR, a digital ring-shaped watch that's here to flip the script on traditional timekeeping. This is Casio's homage to the iconic GMW-B5000, distilled into a piece of jewelry that's both stylish and functional. Intrigued? Let’s break it down.
Whether you're a collector or just someone who loves a conversation-starting accessory, this ring-shaped watch is a bold move from Casio that's hard to ignore. Launching this December at around $127, this little marvel is made from durable stainless steel using advanced metal injection molding—a fancy tech for a precise and robust build.
At just 25.2 x 19.5 x 6.2 mm, it’s ridiculously compact—about 1/10th the size of a typical wristwatch—but still packs a punch with features like dual time, a stopwatch, an auto calendar, and even a light chime.
Features and Functionality
One of the most practical aspects of the Casio CRW-001-1JR is its crisp LED backlit screen, which ensures you won't have to squint to check the time. The watch is also waterproof for daily use, has a 2-year battery life, and comes with adjustable spacers to fit sizes 16, 19, and 22.
Casio truly thought of everything, even down to the packaging. The Casio CRW-001-1JR comes in a sleek box and a classy drawstring pouch, ensuring the unboxing experience matches the premium nature of the product.
Availability and Pre-Order
Pre-orders for the Casio CRW-001-1JR drop on December 1st. With the buzz surrounding this limited-edition piece, it’s likely to sell out quickly. Currently, it’s exclusive to Casio’s website, but fingers crossed for wider availability in the future.
