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 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).
