Casio Designs a Watch You Can Wear in a Sauna
Casio has designed a special heat-resistant, moisture-resistant watch that you can wear into a sauna.
The coiled wristband mimics the locker key wristbands you get at a traditional Japanese onsen; this design stands off of your wrist, to avoid getting soaked with sweat.
The lens reportedly won't fog up, and the watch contains a 12-minute timer mode, so you can perfectly time your cold plunges.
It's a niche enough product that Casio hasn't committed to a major production run. Instead they're launching a campaign for it next month on Japanese crowdfunding site Makuake. It's expected to run in the ¥10,000 - ¥11,000 (USD $60 to $70) range.

love the hyper specific use case and how it lead to such a unique design!
Love it!
Forget the thermal performance. This simple design is a great antidote to the over-value-added mess of the "aviation" chronograph. I would actually use this in a cockpit. Easy to control & easy to read. Great design (needs a regular silicone band though).
Aye! I suspect this cheap Casio will be better for timing my boiled eggs than anbOmwfa Speedmaster, too! (If it takes twelve minutes for one hand to turn 360 degrees, then it will be clear when, say 4 minutes has elapsed)
