It is also slightly thinner and has a detachable band that allows users to hold their fingers. This is not the first time that the brand has made smaller versions of their products as it creates the classic watches in the form of rings a few months ago. The DW-5600-inspired erasers are a celebrate of how tourists often take objects home as a souvenir and is a playful hallmark of the special watch.
