Casio Released a Heat-Tolerant Watch, Engineered for Enhanced Sauna Application
Introducing the Casio CPP-002: A Revolutionary Watch Designed for Sauna Use
The Casio CPP-002, a new collaboration between Casio and Sauna Ikitai, is making waves in the world of wearable technology. This innovative watch is specifically designed for sauna use, offering a unique blend of functionality and style.
The Casio CPP-002 comes in three dial styles: white with black numerals, black with white numerals, and white with blue numerals. Each dial style features black hour hands with orange minute hands, except for the Sauna Ikitai variant, which boasts a red hour hand and a black minute hand. The bands come in orange, black, and blue colours, respectively, to match each dial style.
The watch's design is more in line with a traditional Casio watch rather than a G-SHOCK. It has a lightweight black resin case measuring 35.4mm across, making it comfortable to wear even during intense sauna sessions. The watch's band is expandable and made of plastic, similar to some locker keys, ensuring a secure fit.
One of the standout features of the Casio CPP-002 is its 12-minute sauna timer function. The watch's timer can be set and reset via pushers at the top of the case, bullhead-style. This feature is designed to help users keep track of their sauna sessions and ensure they don't overstay their welcome.
The Casio CPP-002 is currently being crowdfunded on Makuake. Early Bird prices for the Casio CPP-002 start at ¥7,840 (~$53). Once the project reaches its public goal, the full price of the watch on Makuake will be ¥9,800 (~$66).
The battery inside the Casio CPP-002 is heat-resistant, ensuring it can withstand the high temperatures of a sauna. Moreover, the battery has a 5-year lifespan, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Notably, the Casio CPP-002 is not part of the G-SHOCK umbrella, although the new technology in the watch might eventually be incorporated into the G-SHOCK lineup.
The Casio CPP-002 also boasts 50m of water resistance, making it suitable for use in various environments. However, the article does not mention any immediate plans for the new technology to be added to the G-SHOCK lineup.
In conclusion, the Casio CPP-002 is a remarkable watch designed with sauna enthusiasts in mind. Its unique features, durable design, and affordable price make it an attractive option for those seeking a reliable watch for their sauna sessions. The Casio CPP-002 is a testament to Casio's commitment to innovation and its ability to cater to diverse consumer needs.
