Timex x MM6 gold ring watch launches as a stylish new alternative to Casio's gold ring watch

Timex and MM6’s take on the tiny, wearable T80 digital is available now as a ring-style watch. It’s a literal downsizing of Timex’s retro digital layout - the tiny case, a mirrored mask over the display, and an expansion-style steel ring instead of a strap. The collaboration dresses the small T80 module in a gold finish and the MM6 identity, then packages it as jewellery rather than a conventional wristwatch.

The product is essentially a T80 digital module reworked into a ring form factor with a stainless-steel case, mirrored mask, acrylic crystal and a fixed crown. Timex lists the product as a ring watch (diameter ~19.8mm, 30m water resistance) with a stainless expansion band - it’s sold as jewellery sized to S/M/L. The product page and retailer listings show it as a limited-style item rather than a standard Timex reissue.

The T80 has always been Timex’s signature compact, retro digital model - simple, classy, and cheap to make. MM6’s version reframes it as more of a fashion accessory: the watch is smaller than a bracelet charm, trades wrist utility for a novelty/wearable-jewellery angle, and should appeal to people who want the T80 look in a non-traditional form. That repositioning is the whole point.

Casio’s recent CRW-001 ring watch (see below), while comparable, followed a slightly different route. Casio miniaturized a fully functional metal digital module into a full-metal finger ring using metal-injection-moulding (MIM) to keep it durable while staying tiny. Functionally, Casio’s ring keeps watch-style features and a proper module in a metal body; Timex’s MM6 ring is more about fashion, using the T80’s simpler quartz/digital internals in a jewellery presentation. Casio pitched the CRW-001 as a technical achievement and limited run tied to a brand anniversary; Timex’s MM6 product is simply a fashion rework of a known design. If you want a proper watch you can use on the finger, Casio’s approach feels more watch-forward; if you want a T80 look that doubles as a statement piece, Timex/MM6 does exactly that. 

The ring watch, while out of stock in the US and EU as of writing, is priced at £180/€195/$195 (it's still in stock in the UK). This pricing matches that of the silver edition of the same ring watch, which launched in October 2024. You can read more about that here.
