Casio shrunk a G-Shock watch to ring size for some reason
Casio has taken its iconic G-Shock DWN-5600 and shrunk it down to an astonishingly compact size with the introduction of the G-Shock Nano DWN-5600. This innovative timepiece is a fully functional, miniature version of the original, designed to fit snugly on your finger. The watch retains many of the beloved features of its predecessor, including the ability to display time with seconds, a calendar, dual time settings, and a stopwatch function. Users can navigate through these features using three side buttons, although the challenge of pressing them on such a small device is noteworthy. The backlight feature is also included, ensuring visibility in low-light conditions.
In addition to its impressive functionality, the G-Shock Nano DWN-5600 boasts the same rugged qualities that G-Shock watches are known for. With shock resistance and a water resistance of up to 200 meters, this tiny timepiece is built to withstand the rigors of daily life and outdoor adventures alike. However, its size—ranging from approximately 48 to 82 millimeters—raises questions about comfort and wearability. While Casio has showcased images of individuals sporting the Nano, its unique shape and reduced bulkiness could make it feel somewhat awkward on the finger, especially for those accustomed to the heft of traditional G-Shock watches.
The G-Shock Nano DWN-5600 is set to hit the market on December 3, available at G-Shock retailers and online at gshock.com. It will come in three vibrant colors: black, red, and yellow, appealing to a wide range of style preferences. As the excitement builds around this quirky yet functional piece, enthusiasts and collectors alike will be eager to see how this miniature marvel performs in real-world scenarios. Whether it becomes a trendy accessory or a practical gadget remains to be seen, but it undoubtedly adds a new twist to the G-Shock legacy.
Imagine you had a G-Shock DWN-5600 watch, but smaller. Way, way smaller.
That, we guess, was the reasoning behind Casio’s latest product, the G-Shock Nano DWN-5600. It’s a fully functional, miniature version of the original G-Shock DWN-5600 that fits on your finger.
In terms of features, you get time (with seconds!), calendar, dual time, and stopwatch features. The three buttons on the side can be used (if you can press them) to switch between modes and activate the backlight, among other functions.
Just like the original, but smaller.

The watch is resistant to shocks (duh!) and has 200-meter resistance.
About that size, though. Casio says the fit ranges from approximately 48 to 82 millimeters. The company also has some photos of people wearing the thing, and it doesn’t look too clunky. But the Nano’s distinct shape, and (smallified) bulkiness (the G-Shock watches are, after all, known for their heft), have to make this one a little awkward to wear. If we get a chance to try one, we’ll tell you how it goes.
It works…we guess.
