The Stranger Things × Casio collab just dropped, and it might be one of the coolest retro releases we’ve seen in a while. Casio reimagined two of their classic models with 80s-inspired styling and subtle nods to the Upside Down, creating a perfect crossover between nostalgia and modern collectibility.

The first model is the bold G-Shock DW-5600STT — tough, digital, and filled with show-inspired details like vine patterns, flipped text, and a glowing red backlight. The second is the AQ-800EST, a cleaner retro hybrid with an analog-digital display and understated Stranger Things motifs for people who prefer something more wearable. Both watches hit that perfect balance of design, theme, and everyday practicality.

If you're thinking about picking one up or want to explore more Japan-exclusive models, you can always check out our site: thejapanesefactory.com. We’re constantly updating with new releases and rare finds straight from Japan.

Which model would you go for — the bold G-Shock or the retro AQ-800?
