Ring-Sized Casio Watches
Non-functioning toys, but still
In Japan, gachapon toys are tiny replicas of mundane objects, sold inside capsules dispensed from vending machines. These recent examples by toy manufacturer Stasto Stand Stones are hilarious: Iconic Casio watches, but shrunken down to ring size.
The machine-translated copy is also funny:
"A ring completely supervised by Casio Computer Co., Ltd., a major watch manufacturer, is now available in gachapon. The appeal of Casio watches is their high design. Overwhelming support from a wide range of people is obtained. Faithfully reproduce the real wristwatch even if it is small! The digital display part, the dial, and the 3-layer structure of the glass (analog clock has 2 layers), etc. are one of our specialties."
These are non-functional; I mean they run ¥400 (USD $2.78), so what did you expect.

its a baby Bin Laden!
There are functional ring watches on Amazon for... well, the price of cheap Asia-made electronics. Ironically, the more mechanically complex analog ring watches are more abundant than what I assumed would be the simpler to produce digital versions.
