- 💍 Casio made a ring that tells the time
- 📐 It’s made from a single piece of metal and comes with a classic digital face
- 📱 It’s not a smart ring, which means you can’t track your health with it
- 🇯🇵 Casio will sell it in Japan to celebrate 50 years in the watch business
It’s not a smart ring, which means you can’t track your health with it
It can tell you your pulse BPM, just count how many heartbeats you get and measure one minute with the watch.
That’s so obscene I’m willing to trow some money at it.
Well that’s just about the cutest darn ring I’ve ever seen.
What a moronic headline
Yeah what on earth? It’s not a health monitoring ring alternative, and doesn’t try to be. It’s a watch in ring form.
Smart rings/health monitoring rings are not the norm, I don’t see why any other ring would be automatically compared to them.
It’s not even like many people have heard of that brand of ring, so it’s not even the kind of clickbait that would attract people, like mentioning an Apple product would be, or when anything about any EV would have to have Tesla in the title (e.g. “Is this EV a Tesla KILLER???”)
I’m not much of a ring wearer, I don’t even wear my own wedding ring, but this one actually looks pretty neat to me. I hope the battery is as easy to replace as they claim it to be.
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?
I’m about to release a not so smart AR Headset. Super light, It won’t generate fake TV screens or give information like the apple vision pro, but it will just be tinted to help bright sunlight be less bright. Still brainstorming what to call this low tech VR/AR technology.
Don’t over think it, call is the Augmented Reality Sunlight Absorption Headset with AI.
This is golden.
Please focus on affordable dumb TVs – thanks.
Wait Casio make TVs?
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
aweee it’s so smol
Ring watches are a thing. Seen them for a while but usually they look like rings and have a flap or something
You can now give someone the finger and tell them that’s the only time you have for them
I want this ring.
Okay I misread that title as “Casio made a One Ring alternative”
Won’t track your health, Won’t prevent aids. May make you invisible to the seen realm, and draw the attention of unseen beings.
Beware the Great Eye of Google. Ever it roams, ever it watches.
It was either that or show that picture of Bin Laden again.
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.
And the comparison to a smart ring is pants-on-head stupid…
I kinda like it but rings bother me more than watches
