What a moronic headline

Ring watches are a thing. Seen them for a while but usually they look like rings and have a flap or something

Wth is this article, the ring is being made in celebration of them as a watch company. It's a cute little gimmicky ring because making an anniversary watch is exactly what people expect them to do.

They didn't make a ring to compete with the Oura or Samsung's whatever. The article even mentions the Timex ring watch which was similarly made because they're celebrating 170 years of being in the business. Why even bring up smart rings/watches at all?

I'm about to release a not so smart AR Headset. Super light, It won't generate fake TV screens or give information like the apple vision pro, but it will just be tinted to help bright sunlight be less bright. Still brainstorming what to call this low tech VR/AR technology.

I want this ring.

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 7 points 5 hours ago

You can now give someone the finger and tell them that’s the only time you have for them

Okay I misread that title as "Casio made a One Ring alternative"

Won't track your health, Won't prevent aids. May make you invisible to the seen realm, and draw the attention of unseen beings.

Beware the Great Eye of Google. Ever it roams, ever it watches.

Please focus on affordable dumb TVs – thanks.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 10 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

They made awesome portable TVs like uh, 30 years ago.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

That and cheap and cheerful musical keyboards.

[–] makkurokurosuke@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

It took me years to realize that my childhood Casio keyboard played Wake Me Up Before You Go Go and that’s why I liked the song

Uhm it looks very odd, like you somehow have miniature wrists.

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 10 points 10 hours ago

Seems rather bulky for a ring also. I wonder if it snags on a lot of things while using your hands normally.

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 9 points 10 hours ago

I like Casio watches, but yeah I'd pass.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

I kinda like it but rings bother me more than watches
