CASIO and J Balvin are redefining what a watch can be with a timepiece designed to sit on your finger. Following the success of their first collaboration, the duo returns with the limited edition CASIO x J Balvin CRW001JB-9 Ring Watch, transforming CASIO’s iconic digital watch DNA into a futuristic accessory that blurs the boundaries between fashion, technology and personal style.
From his Medellin roots to becoming one of the world’s most influential Latin artists, J Balvin has built his career around challenging conventions. His approach to fashion has always been an extension of his artistry; colourful, maximalist, and unapologetically personal, making him the ideal collaborator to reinvent CASIO’s unconventional ring watch silhouette.
Where Digital Nostalgia Meets Maximalist Style
Building on the momentum of the 2025 “Ma G” collaboration, the CRW001JB-9 continues the partnership’s shared vision of individuality and innovation. Rather than simply shrinking down a traditional timepiece, the ring watch embraces a new perspective on how accessories can be worn.
“CASIO has always understood my vision when it comes to creativity and self expression,” said J Balvin, “The first collaboration was personal and expressive, with this release, we wanted to push even further by designing something that felt unexpected and instantly iconic.”
That creative partnership is reflected in every detail, pairing CASIO’s signature functionality with J Balvin’s bold visual language.
Gold, Glamour and A Touch of Stage Energy
The CRW001JB-9 arrives in a striking gold-tone finish giving the digital accessory a luxury-inspired edge. Across the face, a textured gold brick batten adds depth and character reflecting J Balvin’s love for bold visual details.
Adding to its stage ready appeal, subtle rhinestone accents frame the display, bringing a hint of sparkle reminiscent of concert spotlights. The result is a piece that captures the energy of a global performer while remaining wearable as an everyday collectible.
The ring watch also reflects the creative world surrounding J Balvin’s latest artistic chapter, centered around themes of elegance, loyalty, brotherhood, and family.
Small in Size, Big on Function
Despite its miniature size, the CRW0001JB-09 retains the practical features CASIO fans expect, including:
- Dual time functionality
- 1/100 second stopwatch
- Time flash hourly alert
- Auto calendar
- LED backlight
- 12/24 hour time formats
Blending nostalgic digital design with contemporary streetwear culture, the collaboration represents CASIO’s continued evolution beyond traditional watchmaking; proving that a timepiece can be both functional and culturally relevant.
A Collector’s Piece
Priced at MYR 849, the limited edition CASIO x J Balvin CRW001JB-09 Ring Watch will be available exclusively to CASIO ID members through the CASIO website 11am on 7 July 2026, followed by select stores from mid-July onwards, while stocks last.
Bringing together music, fashion, and technology, the collaboration offers fans a chance to own a piece of J Balvin’s creative world. Sometimes the smallest accessories can make the biggest impact.
