This casting process is done in multiple steps to achieve our desired finish. All of these steps are done by hand, and we embrace the slight imperfections of the process that make each watch unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/9371\/files\/syringe_1024x1024.gif?v=1592429421\" alt=\"\"\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/9371\/files\/SSW-001_16x9_4_dfb76fcf-800b-4ea5-8587-7a5a8c29e985.webp?v=1786980978\" alt=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolid State Watch ships with a light grey custom printed adjustable elastic strap with brushed metal hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/9371\/files\/SSW_overall_dimensions_1024x1024.png?v=1592439169\" alt=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bold\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSize : 32mm x 38.4mm x 10mm\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight : 19g\u003cbr\u003e\nLug width : 18mm\u003cbr\u003e\nEstimated battery life : 10+ years\u003cbr\u003e\nMovement : Casio F-91W\u003cbr\u003e\nBattery : 3V CR-2016\u003cbr\u003e\n  Fits : 145-215mm wrist size [5.75\"-8.5\"]\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/9371\/files\/SSW-001_16x9_7.webp?v=1786980664\" alt=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/9371\/files\/SSW-001_16x9_8.webp?v=1786980665\" alt=\"\"\u003e\n","brand":"CW\u0026T","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47405479395497,"sku":"SSW-01","price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/4838\/9033\/files\/DSC9539169.png?v=1788960362","url":"https:\/\/paranoidranch.com\/products\/solid-state-watch","provider":"Paranoid Ranch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
