Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this thing called the MM6 Timex, and let me tell you, it’s pretty wild. It all started when I saw some buzz online about a collaboration between Timex and MM6 Maison Margiela. Sounded fancy, right? I’m always up for trying out new gadgets, especially when they mix fashion and tech. This one is basically a tiny watch you can wear as a ring. Yep, you heard that right, a ring watch!
First off, I went and grabbed one of these bad boys. It’s modeled after the classic Timex T80, which is already a cool, retro-looking digital watch. But this one? This one is miniature! It keeps the same hexagonal shape and digital display, but it’s so small it fits on your finger. I was pretty stoked to see how this thing actually worked in real life.
Once I got it, the first thing I did was, obviously, put it on. It’s a bit weird at first, having a watch on your finger, but it’s surprisingly comfortable. It’s got a stainless steel band, which feels pretty sturdy, and it’s adjustable, so you can get a good fit.
- Checking the time – This is the fun part. It’s just like a regular digital watch, but way smaller. It shows the time, and you can switch between 12-hour and 24-hour formats. There’s even a little light so you can see the time in the dark.
- Setting the time – Now, this was a bit fiddly. The buttons are tiny, as you’d expect. But once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty straightforward. You just press and hold, then adjust.
- Wearing it around – I wore this thing everywhere for a week. To the grocery store, out to dinner, even to the gym (though I was a bit worried about smacking it on something). People definitely noticed it. I got a lot of “What’s that on your finger?” and “Is that a watch?” It’s a real conversation starter.
One thing I noticed is that the number six on the display is circled. I guess that’s a nod to the MM6 branding. It’s a subtle little detail, but it adds to the whole unique vibe of the thing. After wearing it for a while, I have to say I am really enjoying it. I am starting to like this new way of checking the time. I think the biggest surprise to me was how many compliments I got from the ring.
Final Thoughts
So, after giving the MM6 Timex ring watch a good test run, I’d say it’s a pretty cool little gadget. It’s definitely not something you see every day, and it’s a fun way to mix up your style. Plus, it actually works well as a watch! It’s not just a fashion piece; it’s functional too. If you’re into unique accessories and like the idea of wearing a watch on your finger, I’d say give it a shot. It’s a bit of a novelty, sure, but it’s a fun one.
