Casio is reportedly preparing a second-generation ring watch, the CRW-002, with retro A168 styling in steel and gold. Casioblog says sales may begin in November and prices may be around $130; Notebookcheck reports the same details. Casio has not confirmed the model, timing or price.
The CRW-002 would follow Casio’s CRW-001, G-Shock Nano DWN-5600 and health-tracking CRW-H001. The featured image is the CRW-H001, an earlier, sensor-equipped ring watch, not the unannounced CRW-002.
Casio CRW-002: reported design and specifications
The CRW-002 is said to borrow the A168’s square case outline, dial lettering and bracelet-like texture. Casioblog reports a metal-injection-moulded steel body, with the case back and ring made as one piece. There are no live photos of the new model in the reporting; the image below shows the A168 wristwatch that supplies its styling reference, not a CRW-002 prototype.
The two reported finishes are steel CRW-002D-1A and gold-IP CRW-002G-9A. An inner diameter of 20 mm is expected, with silicone inserts reducing it to 19 mm or 18 mm. These measurements and the remaining specifications come from Casioblog’s report, rather than a Casio product page.

Casio CRW-002 price and UAE availability
The reported $130 price would put the CRW-002 close to the CRW-001’s US price, but it is not an official retail figure. Casio has not announced a UAE release date or local price, so availability here remains unknown. The closest previous tbreak coverage is Casio’s Arabic-dial collection for the Middle East and a premium G-SHOCK release in the UAE; neither confirms regional plans for this ring watch.

Is the Casio CRW-002 a smart ring?
The reported CRW-002 is a digital watch built into a ring, with a small LCD, stopwatch and time functions. The published details do not mention Bluetooth, health sensors or phone notifications, so it is not described as a health-tracking smart ring.
Will Casio sell the CRW-002 in the UAE?
No UAE release or local price has been announced. The November timing and roughly $130 figure are reports, not confirmation of a regional launch.
Is the reported $130 price official?
No. Casioblog attributes the figure to insiders; Casio has not announced a price or confirmed the product. Treat the amount and launch window as provisional until Casio publishes details.
