The CRW-002, a ring watch that shrinks the familiar A168 digital look to finger size, now appears on Casio’s official Ring Watch page.
The U.S. listing shows two new variants: CRW002D-1A at $135.00 and CRW002G-9A at $155.00. Casio calls it “The classic A168 style, reimagined as a ring watch,” a wearable oddity based on one of the most recognizable budget digitals, not a new colorway or nostalgia reissue.
It joins Casio’s ring watch lineup, which includes CRW-001 models, the J Balvin collaboration CRW-001JB-9, and the G-SHOCK Nano DWN-5600. Casio’s international specification pages list practical digital functions for the CRW-002, including a 1/100 second stopwatch, auto calendar, and 12/24 hour format.
The appeal is less about specs than format. Casio started the ring watch line in 2024 with the CRW-001 for its 50th anniversary, and the CRW-002 shows the idea is becoming a small but deliberate branch of the catalog.
