Far from being a merely aesthetic accessory, it is a collectible but totally usable item that, yes, it's not a smart ring: It does not measure health or activity, it works like a miniature digital watch.
A miniature design of the classic DW‑5600
The so-called G‑SHOCK Nano is based on the famous DW‑5600 and faithfully reproduces it in a body of 23,4 × 20 × 7,5 mm, about one-tenth the size of the original model.
To maintain the G‑SHOCK identity, Casio uses a bezel and band in recycled resin within its sustainability strategy, with an adjustment ranging from 48 mm to 82 mm to accommodate different finger thicknesses.
As you'd expect from the family, ruggedness is the focus: it withstands impacts and retains the water resistance of traditional G‑SHOCKs with water resistance. Up to 200 meters, suitable for beach and recreational diving.
The brand claims that it is the Smallest shock-resistant G-SHOCK which has been manufactured, thanks to a high-density component assembly and a specially designed compact stack.
Clock display and functions
Integra one LCD screen which displays hours, minutes and seconds, as well as common functions such as dual time, stopwatch and automatic calendar.
The display can be consulted at night thanks to a programmable soft backlight, which allows you to set specific times for the light to turn on without being annoying.
This ring is not a model: the functional side buttons They are used to access and switch between different functions as on a conventional G‑SHOCK.
The food is provided by a user-replaceable battery with an estimated battery life of 2 years, a remarkable figure considering the size of the device.
Price, colors and launch in Spain and Europe
In Spain, Casio confirms three release colors (black, yellow and red) with an official price of 99,90 EurosThe specific date is not yet finalized, but you can now register to receive notification of availability.
The roadmap begins in Japan, where it will go on sale in November, to subsequently reach international markets such as the United Kingdom and other European countries in the following weeks.

For whom it is?
Designed for design enthusiasts and retro lovers, this G‑SHOCK Nano prioritizes aesthetics and everyday practicality over monitoring: It does not measure health or sleep, but it does offer the experience of a full digital watch in a ring size.
For those looking for comfort, durability and a nostalgic touch, it is a curious option for daily use without wearing a watch, with clear advantages in aquatic or activity environments thanks to its certification and robustness.
With a unique proposal that combines functional replica in ring format, more sustainable materials and the G‑SHOCK toughness, the DWN‑5600 arrives in Spain with a reasonable price and classic functions, awaiting a definitive date after its release in Japan.
