G-SHOCK's New Stranger Things Watches Bring the Upside Down to Your Wrist

G-SHOCK and Netflix have launched a second limited-edition watch collaboration. Two models are available: the DW-5600STT-1 and the AQ-800EST-1A. Designs are inspired by the Upside Down, Vecna, and Eleven from the show.

G-SHOCK and Netflix have launched a second limited-edition watch collaboration

Casio has launched a new G-SHOCK Stranger Things watch collection, marking its second collaboration with the hit Netflix series. According to a press release from Casio Middle East and Africa, two limited-edition models are now available in the region, celebrating the upcoming final chapter, Stranger Things 5. The watches draw inspiration from the show's dark, parallel 'Upside Down' dimension.

The 'Eleven' DW-5600STT-1

The first model, the DW-5600STT-1, is based on G-SHOCK's classic square case. The dial and case feature twisting vine motifs that fans will recognise from the show's main villain, Vecna. When you activate the backlight, it glows red and reveals a reversed 'A' in the text, a subtle nod to the Upside Down.

Other details include '011' printed on the band loop, a tribute to the character Eleven. The watch maintains G-SHOCK's tough credentials with 200-metre water resistance and shock resistance. It also includes a stopwatch, timer, and multi-function alarm.

The 'Vecna' AQ-800EST-1A

The second watch is the analog-digital AQ-800EST-1A. This model also features the twisting vine design on its dial, but its hour markers use the iconic Stranger Things font in raised metallic lettering. The show's logo is engraved on the case back, and the clasp cover has '001' etched into it, referencing Vecna's mark.

This model is a great example of how G-SHOCK approaches partnerships, as other G-SHOCK collaborations often become collector's items. It includes a 1/100-second stopwatch, daily alarm, and the brand's signature durability.

Collector's Packaging

Both watches come in special packaging that completes the collector's experience. The boxes are adorned with graphics of a Demogorgon and the same vine motifs found on the watches, making them display-worthy items for fans of the series.

Price and availability in UAE

The G-SHOCK x Stranger Things collection is available now at selected G-SHOCK stores and exclusive dealers across the Middle East. However, Casio has not yet announced official pricing for the UAE market.

Limited editions can be hard to find, much like the rarest new G-SHOCK that recently launched in Dubai, so fans should act quickly. We will update this article when local pricing is confirmed.
