Casio’s $120 CRW001-1 (AKA the Ring Watch) is back in stock on Casio’s website for the first time since it launched — then swiftly sold out — in December. The Ring Watch was released to commemorate the 50th anniversary of its original digital watch. While it may look like a novelty, the fully-functional watch impressed The Verge’s Victoria Song as both a fashion statement and a practical gadget. The silver ring has a sub-inch screen and comes in one ring size: 10.5. However, Casio includes 16 and 19 millimeter spacers to accommodate smaller fingers.
The Ring Watch’s LCD screen can display six digits, and be set to standard or military time. The three buttons around its face can start a stopwatch, display the date, or show the time in a different timezone. An alarm function will flash in the corner of its screen when the counter is complete.
As previews for Donkey Kong Bananza come in ahead of the game’s July 17th release date, one tidbit has stood out on the development of this game. It’s been several years since Super Mario Odyssey and now we know what that team has been up to, as Nintendo has officially revealed that the developers of Donkey Kong Bananza are the same team that made Odyssey.
Nintendo has a good track record of retaining and training up talent. Developers that worked on early entries of the Kirby, Mario, and Zelda franchises have stuck around to work on or lead the development of subsequent titles. The result has been relative consistency of Nintendo first-party titles which has allowed the company to weather the ravages of the last two years a bit better than its competitors. Super Mario Odyssey was one of the top five best selling games of the original Switch so Bananza is in more than capable hands.
According to The Verge’s Cameron Faulkner, Donkey Kong Bananaza is its own game with a unique identity. But Odyssey’s development team has added a bit of Mario’s 3D platforming DNA to Donkey Kong’s first 3D platformer since Donkey Kong 64. And while the mystery of Bananza’s developer has been solved, a new one has taken its place: will there also be a 3D Mario game coming soon to the Switch 2 or is it just Bananza for now?
