Casio has introduced the CRW-H001M-8 Ring Watch, a wearable that combines the appearance of a miniature digital watch with the functionality of a smart ring.
Unlike most smart rings that depend on smartphone apps to show information, Casio added a tiny built-in display that tells the time while also offering health tracking and smart features.
