What a moronic headline

Ring watches are a thing. Seen them for a while but usually they look like rings and have a flap or something

I want this ring.

Okay I misread that title as "Casio made a One Ring alternative"

Wth is this article, the ring is being made in celebration of them as a watch company. It's a cute little gimmicky ring because making an anniversary watch is exactly what people expect them to do.

They didn't make a ring to compete with the Oura or Samsung's whatever. The article even mentions the Timex ring watch which was similarly made because they're celebrating 170 years of being in the business. Why even bring up smart rings/watches at all?

You can now give someone the finger and tell them that’s the only time you have for them

They made awesome portable TVs like uh, 30 years ago.

That and cheap and cheerful musical keyboards.

It took me years to realize that my childhood Casio keyboard played Wake Me Up Before You Go Go and that’s why I liked the song

Uhm it looks very odd, like you somehow have miniature wrists.

Seems rather bulky for a ring also. I wonder if it snags on a lot of things while using your hands normally.

I like Casio watches, but yeah I'd pass.

I kinda like it but rings bother me more than watches
