Casio Watches in Stranger Things Season 5

Casio teamed up with Stranger Things to create a set of watches inspired by Hawkins and its darker mirror. The collection uses classic 80s designs—mainly the G-SHOCK DW-5600 and the AQ-800—as the foundation. Both are period-correct pieces that fit perfectly into the show’s timeline.

Each watch includes subtle details for long-time fans. You’ll spot references to the Upside Down, character nods, and vine-like textures. There are even portal motifs and a worn-in look that matches the show’s atmosphere. You can buy them here on the Netflix official shop.

After watching the first four episodes, one thing became obvious – Casio isn’t just part of the merchandise push. The watches appear on several characters right on screen.

I went through my screenshots and noted who wore what.

Dustin Henderson (Gaten Matarazzo)

Dustin wears the Casio G-Shock DW-5750E-1, a men’s quartz model with a black resin strap. You can spot it clearly in my screenshots from episodes 2 and 3, and he keeps it on in multiple other episodes as well.

Lucas Sinclair (Caleb McLaughlin)

Lucas wears a chunkier Casio — the classic digital G-SHOCK DW-5600. This model dates back to the 1980s and is known for its tough, water-resistant resin body, long battery life and simple reliable digital functions like stopwatch, alarm and backlight. You can see it on his wrist in episodes 2 and 3.

Nancy Wheeler (Natalia Dyer)

Nancy is wearing a maroon-reddish Casio. If you recognize the exact model, drop it in the comments.

Steve Harrington (Joe Keery)

Steve’s watch is the Casio Vintage AQ‑800E‑1AEF. This timepiece combines analog and digital displays, with a stainless-steel band, dual-time capability, 1/100-second stopwatch, daily alarm, auto calendar and water resistance.

Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard)

Mike wears the Casio CA-53W calculator watch. This model is one of Casio’s most recognizable retro pieces, featuring an 8-digit calculator, dual time, stopwatch, daily alarm, and water resistance. It’s lightweight, easy to read, and became popular in the 80s for its mix of practicality and nerdy charm.
