💍 Casio made a ring that tells the time

📐 It’s made from a single piece of metal and comes with a classic digital face

📱 It’s not a smart ring, which means you can’t track your health with it

🇯🇵 Casio will sell it in Japan to celebrate 50 years in the watch business

Yeah what on earth? It's not a health monitoring ring alternative, and doesn't try to be. It's a watch in ring form.

Smart rings/health monitoring rings are not the norm, I don't see why any other ring would be automatically compared to them.

It's not even like many people have heard of that brand of ring, so it's not even the kind of clickbait that would attract people, like mentioning an Apple product or something would be.

I'm not much of a ring wearer, I don't even wear my own wedding ring, but this one actually looks pretty neat to me. I hope the battery is as easy to replace as they claim it to be.
