Casio didn’t invent the wrist calculator, nevertheless it made the thought low-cost, enjoyable, and ubiquitous. The calculator watch turned the epitome of pure ’80s cooltech and this new piece by Casio, the $120 CA-500WEBF-1A, hearkens again to the definitive film of that age: Again to the Future.
Marty’s watch within the movies was the plastic CA53W-1 however that didn’t cease Casio from upping the ante a little bit. The brand new CA-500WEBF-1A takes the later steel model as its base. The options are the identical together with an 8-digit calculator, two time zones, a stopwatch, and multiuple alarms. The keypad makes use of labels impressed by the DeLorean’s time circuits and on the again you get a flux capacitor engraving.
The loopy factor is the packaging which appears like a VHS tape straight out of Hollywood Video. It’s a wild little piece at an incredible worth and I stay up for seeing what my mom says when she sees it on the Enchantment Beneath the Sea dance.
