Casio Gold Ring Watch: The CRW‑001G‑9JR

Casio celebrates 50 years with the golden Casio Gold Ring Watch CRW‑001G‑9JR ring watch—raffle only, packed with retro style and modern tech.

If you thought Casio’s ring watches were wild the first time around, you’re in for a treat. This year, the iconic watchmaker is marking its 50th anniversary with a dazzling twist—an all‑gold version of its eye‑catching Ring Watch CRW‑001, officially dubbed the CRW‑001G‑9JR.

Casio Gold Ring Watch

And I’ll be honest... after looking at all the details, I kind of wish I could snag one for myself.

Last year’s silver CRW‑001‑1JR turned heads with its innovative shape and design, but Casio decided to turn the luxury dial way up. This time, they’ve coated the stainless steel body with gold‑colored ion plating, crafted using advanced metal injection molding technology.

A Golden Celebration

It’s not just about looks though, the ring watch retains a monocoque structure paired with glass bonding technology that enhances airtightness. Translation? This little marvel is waterproof for everyday use.

Compact but Packed with Features  

At first glance, the CRW‑001G‑9JR is simply jaw‑dropping. But here’s where it gets even cooler:

• 7‑Segment LCD Display showing hours, minutes, seconds, date, and dual time.
• Stopwatch with 1/100‑second precision.
• Flash Alert Function: a gentle blink at preset times.
• LED Backlight** for low‑light visibility.
• Auto Calendar** and 12/24‑hour display options.
• Built‑in water resistance (perfect for splash protection).

And because not every finger is the same, Casio includes two adjustment spacers—size 19 and size 16—alongside the default size 22 ring.

Inspired by a G‑Shock Classic

Casio didn’t design this in a vacuum. The Casio Gold Ring Watch CRW‑001 shape nods to the legendary G‑Shock DW‑5000, the model that defined a generation of rugged digital watches.

This ring is basically wearable nostalgia, infused with futurism.

How to Get One (Spoiler: It’s Not Easy)

Now here’s the catch. Casio isn’t just putting these on shelves for anyone to grab... it’s raffle only. Yep, you’ll have to try your luck.

In Japan:

• Casio.com: CRW‑001G‑9JR priced at ¥22,000 JPY (about US$150), Japan shipping only. Applications close October 6 (12:00).
• Gracis Watch: Lottery sales via Line app.
• TiCTAC stores: Select branches like Kagoshima, LaLaport Fujimi, Namba Parks, and Kuzuha Mall. In-person applications exclusively for TiCTAC app members.
• Threec Web Store: Applications end October 5 (12:00).

Some Japanese retailers even had limited pre‑orders, but they sold out in a flash... so, no surprise here. TiCTAC currently lists the release date as October 17, 2025.

Could We See It Worldwide?

Fans of the silver CRW‑001‑1JR will remember that it got a second wave release in several countries earlier this year. So, there’s a decent chance the gold edition could follow a similar path. Historically, Casio sold the silver version only through official websites internationally. So, the real question is… will they do the same with gold?

I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

Why It’s More Than Just a Watch

Sure, it tells the time. But the Casio Gold Ring Watch CRW‑001G‑9JR is a conversation starter... a wearable statement piece. It’s perfect for collectors, style‑savvy tech lovers, and basically anyone who enjoys a blend of retro inspiration and modern innovation. I would say it is about bragging right! 😂

It’s part jewelry, part gadget, and 100% Casio.

Final Thoughts (and Slight Jealousy)

As someone who geeks out over unique watches, I can honestly say this gold ring watch hits that sweet spot between quirky innovation and timeless style. If I had the chance, I’d absolutely enter the raffle—no hesitation.

And if you’re in Japan (or willing to navigate the lottery process), this is the kind of purchase you’ll brag about for years. For more information, head over to Casio's official website.
