    It kind of looks like you have to pull everything out to get to the battery... hopefully its not as fiddly as that looks. I kind of want one for no good reason. I don't even wear rings.

      Ditto. But for $160 CAD I think I can resist the temptation to buy one. If it was $40 that would be a different story though.

I personally think the classic Casio watch design does not make for a nice ring design, but agree with their decision of that design. I think a minimalist ring/analog clock design would look really nice, but probably a lot harder to make.

    This is kind of hilarious because I just bought this for swimming. The Casio looks much nicer obviously but it's similarly adorable.

    The video ad looked like I was watching Trainspotting or something.
