Bandai announced the Tamagotchi ring on August 27, a 28mm ring-shaped device billed as the world's smallest Tamagotchi. It is 56% smaller than the original, uses 64 parts, and includes a color LCD. It features 30 popular characters for the franchise's 30th anniversary. Orders open on Premium Bandai, priced at 7,700 yen, with shipping in February 2027.
The ring-shaped Tamagotchi, called Tamagotchi ring, is a 28mm device modeled after a ring that you can wear on your finger and care for. It follows the traditional egg-shaped design with three buttons, but is 56% smaller than the original device, using just 64 parts in total.
Despite the miniaturization, it packs a color LCD. The concept builds on the wristwatch-style Tamagotchi Smart from 2021, evolving into a ring type that is easier to wear on the body. The device keeps the core Tamagotchi idea of always being together and enjoying caring for it.
The main unit includes 30 popular Tamagotchi characters from the franchise's history, chosen for the 30th anniversary, and how you raise it can lead to a secret Tamagotchi. The Blue & Metallic Gold model is one of three types in the lineup.
