A ring itself is already bling. Just when I thought that was as far as ring bling could go, this showed up: the Casio x J Balvin CRW001JB-9 Ring Watch. Casio and J Balvin have come together once again for a second limited-edition collaboration, this time involving something even more unconventional than a brightly eye-stabbing colored G-SHOCK: a ring watch.
The new CRW001JB-9 is based on Casio’s miniature digital ring watch platform, essentially shrinking a classic Casio digital watch down into jewelry-sized form. The design goes full gold, featuring a textured brick-pattern finish inspired by J Balvin’s visual style, along with rhinestone accents for extra sparkle. J Balvin’s signature flower motif is engraved on the back, and the packaging follows the same gold-brick aesthetic.
Despite looking like a novelty accessory from a cyberpunk jewelry store, the ring still functions like an actual Casio digital watch. And yes, it is an actual functional watch, boasting dual time, a 1/100-second stopwatch, an auto calendar, an LED backlight, a time flash alert, 12/24-hour formats, and a water-resistant construction.
The watch fits a US size 10.5 finger by default, though Casio includes spacers for smaller sizes.
The CRW001JB-9 will retail for US$200, with pre-orders opening on May 28, 2026, before a wider release on June 4 through Casio, the G-SHOCK SoHo Store, and select retailers.
Some words of advice: I suspect this thing will be flying off the shelves once it goes live. So if you really want one, you may want to keep your eyes peeled on the product page.
