Six digit, not six segment. Each digit has seven segments.<p>I&#x27;ve seen this a LOT lately, when did everyone forget what segments were?

The original announcement from Casio said they&#x27;d be making a ring version of the venerable DBC-611 calculator watch as well: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.g-central.com&#x2F;casio-to-release-casio-watch-ring-collection-capsule-toys&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.g-central.com&#x2F;casio-to-release-casio-watch-ring-...</a><p>It looks like they&#x27;ve instead made a ring version of the CA-53W, which - in the staggeringly few times I see someone wearing a calculator watch - is usually the one they&#x27;re wearing.<p>I still wear a DBC-610 as my daily driver, and I do use the calculator and countdown timer features quite often.

Haha, I love it! I wear the gold calculator watch because it&#x27;s fun and peculiar. I&#x27;d love to get a gold casio ring.

&gt; The ring watch’s screen even has a light, and an alarm function that will flash the display instead of playing an audible sound<p>That is a bit... Underwhelming isn&#x27;t it?

I hope they included the iconic worst-in-the-world backlight into it.

Looks like a mini GMW-B5000D: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.casio.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;watches&#x2F;gshock&#x2F;product.GMW-B5000D-1&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.casio.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;watches&#x2F;gshock&#x2F;product.GMW-B5000D-1...</a>

That could actually be really useful. I&#x27;d love to wear a dumbwatch again, and if it&#x27;s that much smaller then its that much better. Will be keeping an eye out for one that isn&#x27;t nostaliga-themed.

A wrap around display ring would be cool.

Digital watches in general have their charm <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;mDVmdgao3RE?si=sfpEEkri1mmOvdAV" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;mDVmdgao3RE?si=sfpEEkri1mmOvdAV</a>

This is the type of thing I would not purchase for myself, but I’m happy to see exist. Brilliant design.

No....nope. Don&#x27;t like it. Why would someone spend $128 for that?
