A lottery for the Casio Ring Watch CRW-001-1 has opened in the UK. This is the brand’s first digital ring watch, released at the end of 2024 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Casio. It quickly sold out in global markets and was recently restocked in Japan.
Now, Casio ID members in the UK can enter a lottery, with lucky entrants able to purchase the CRW-001-1 Ring Watch. The company notes that this is a limited restock but does not indicate the number of units available. It is free to sign up for a Casio ID membership on the company’s website. When you are logged in, you will be able to complete the lottery entry form from the link on the product page.
The Casio Ring Watch has a stainless steel casing weighing 16 g (~0.6 oz) and measuring 25.2 mm (~1.0 inch) across. As standard, the ring fits a size 22 finger (US 10.5, EU U), though two size-adjusting spacers can be used to adjust it to a size 19 (19 mm/0.75 inch inner diameter) or size 16 (18 mm/0.70 inch inner diameter). The CRW-001-1 supports dual-world time zones and offers features like a 1/100 second stopwatch and hourly flash alerts. It can also show the date and has an LED backlight, with tools activated using physical buttons.
Casio is accepting lottery entries until 12 PM BST on June 26th. Winners can expect to be notified by June 27th, when they will be given the opportunity to purchase the CRW-001-1 Ring Watch for £105.00. Whether or when a similar lottery draw could run in other markets like the US is unclear.
