Timex and Casio have recently unveiled their latest wearable products — digital watch rings. These compact devices bring the classic digital watch aesthetic to a new unconventional form factor.
To clarify, these devices primarily function as timepieces and jewelry and do not offer any smart or health-tracking capabilities.
Timex has collaborated with MM6 Maison Margiela for the Timex x MM6 Ring Watch. This ring is crafted from polished and brushed stainless steel, and features a stretchable band for different finger sizes.
It has a minimalist design and offers a basic time-and-date. Sadly, there’s no Indiglo backlight, but it does offer water resistance.
Casio’s CRW-001-1JR, on the other hand, is a slightly larger ring. It boasts a retro-inspired LCD screen and displays hours, minutes, seconds, date, and time in a different time zone. Additional features include a stopwatch, alarm, and an illuminating backlight.
The ring also has a durable construction and a long-lasting battery life of up to 2 years. It only comes in one size, but has spacers to fit different finger sizes.
The Timex x MM6 Ring Watch is priced at USD 180 (roughly Php 10,570), while the Casio CRW-001-1JR is priced at JPY 19,800 in Japan (Php 7,540).
