The watch has since sold out repeatedly, and now even commands triple retail on the secondary market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now Casio is giving its tiny G-SHOCK-shaped jewelry an actual day job with the new CRW-H001 smart ring watch.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Casio-CRW-H001-Smart-Ring-Watch-2-1000x667.jpg\" alt=\"Casio CRW H001 Smart Ring Watch 2\" class=\"wp-image-839527\"  \/>Photo: Casio<br \/>\nSame Face, Whole New Brain<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the outside, the CRW-H001 looks nearly identical to the original: a metal-injection-molded stainless steel body with that unmistakable square 5000-series silhouette shrunken down to cocktail-ring proportions. The magic is hiding underneath.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Casio lined the inside of the ring with ceramic to house a proper health monitoring module, complete with optical sensors pressed against your finger. That means continuous heart rate, blood oxygen, body temperature, and sleep tracking, plus daily steps, calories, and dedicated modes for walking, running, and cycling. A low-power vibration motor even buzzes for incoming calls, messages, and alarms, with everything syncing to Casio\u2019s companion app.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" alt=\"Casio CRW H001 Smart Ring Watch 3\" class=\"wp-image-839528 perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Casio-CRW-H001-Smart-Ring-Watch-3-1000x667.jpg\"  data-\/>Photo: Casio<br \/>\nThe One Thing Oura Can\u2019t Do<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every other smart ring on the market is a mute metal band that hoards your data until you check your phone. The CRW-H001 keeps a fully functional LCD on your finger: time, stopwatch, dual time, auto calendar, and an LED backlight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And at roughly $294, it undercuts the Oura Ring 4, which starts at $349 before you\u2019ve paid a dime of its $5.99 monthly membership. Is Casio\u2019s sensor accuracy going to dethrone the category leader? We\u2019re not going to pretend it will. But a functioning watch face is a legitimately clever wedge into a crowded market.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" alt=\"Casio CRW H001 Smart Ring Watch 5\" class=\"wp-image-839529 perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Casio-CRW-H001-Smart-Ring-Watch-5-1000x667.jpg\"  data-\/>Photo: Casio<br \/>\nSpec Sheet<\/p>\n<p>Model: Casio CRW-H001<br \/>Case Material: Stainless steel with ceramic inner lining<br \/>Dimensions: 25.3 x 19.5 x 6mm<br \/>Weight: 19g<br \/>Health Tracking: Heart rate, SpO2, body temperature, sleep, steps, calories, workout modes<br \/>Notifications: Vibration alerts for calls, messages, and alarms<br \/>Battery Life: 4-6 days (smart module), up to 25 days standby<br \/>Watch Battery: Approx. 2 years<br \/>Water Resistance: Everyday use (not swim-rated)<br \/>Sizes: 9, 10, or 11 (fixed, no spacers)<\/p>\n<p>Pricing &amp; Availability<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Casio CRW-H001 is available to order now exclusively in China, priced at \u00a51,990 (~$294) across all three sizes.
