The Back to the Future Casio CA-500WEBF-1A calculator watch is now on sale at Casio UK. One per customer, no voucher codes. It’s packed with multiple film references, alongside classic calculator features, and priced at £114.90 (~$154).
The Casio CA-500WEBF-1A Back to the Future watch by Casio is now available in the Casio UK site, having been officially announced on the 14 th of October. The new calculator watch is priced at £114.90 (~$154), and it is the combination of all the retro elements of the Back to the Future trilogy with a distinctive design that should make collectors scramble to purchase. However, take note, in case you decide to get one, 1 is the maximum number that can be purchased and you cannot use any of the voucher codes to discount. This restriction would assist the true fans in grabbing the watch rather than resellers grabbing it.
The watch combines all the traditional Casio calculator features with references to movies. There is the iconic OUTATIM license tag on the face, the bright colors following the taillight of the DeLorean, and the flux capacitor etched on the rear. The box in which it is shipped even appears like a retro videotape which contributes to the entire nostalgia aspect.
With the movie tie-ins and the rigid purchase limit, it is most likely evident that Casio would want this to fall on the real Back to the Future fans and calculator watch enthusiasts. It has all the typical CA-500 features, like a calculator, alarm, daily calendar, stopwatch, and fairly good water resistance, only with a few added features of the 80s fun.
It may not be the more serious wrist release of the year, but it can be one of the more entertaining ones as well as something that is practical. In case you would like to have a calculator watch without the Back to the Future branding, you can consider the standard Casio CA-53W-1ER that is available on Amazon at the price of just $28.50.
