Casio has unleashed a new wave of nostalgia with the launch of their Pac-Man collaboration watches in the UK, commemorating the arcade game’s 45th anniversary. Originally introduced last year and making their US debut in January, these timepieces celebrate the enduring charm of Pac-Man with four distinct styles that blend retro flair with modern functionality.
Leading the nostalgic lineup is the F-91WPC-1A, draped in a sleek black resin adorned with vibrant Pac-Man graphics. This model keeps things simple and practical, offering 12 and 24-hour time formats, a 1/100-second stopwatch, and daily alarm functionality. It promises a remarkable seven-year battery life, complemented by an LED backlight for easy reading in dim lighting.
Mid-tier in the collection is the A168WEPC-7A, which mirrors the size and vibrant design of its resin counterpart. This version features a polished silver stainless steel case and band, retaining the same reliable battery life and functionality as the F-91WPC-1A, ensuring style doesn’t diminish utility.
The CA-53WPC-1B adds a playful twist with its yellow arcade cabinet-inspired bezel and black resin strap. It offers a bit of nostalgia with its 16-button interface beneath a digital display, perfect for the included eight-digit calculator. Like its siblings, it includes a stopwatch, an alarm, and an LED backlight, albeit with a slightly lower battery life of five years.
Topping the range is the ABL-100WEPC-1B, a Bluetooth-enabled timepiece with a sophisticated stainless steel finish. It flaunts features enticing to tech enthusiasts, such as a step counter, five alarms, a countdown timer, and dual-time support. Connect it to the Casio Watches app to unlock additional features, and monitor its two-year battery expectancy via the battery level indicator.
Available now in the UK, the F-91WPC-1AER can be yours for just £54.90. The A168WEPC-7AER and CA-53WPC-1BER are priced at £74.90, while the premium ABL-100WEPC-1BER model is offered at £124.90. While there’s no official word on expanding this joyous collection to other European markets, select retailers in France have already begun accepting pre-orders. For those seeking a blend of retro gaming charm and modern watch sophistication, these Casio Pac-Man watches are an ideal addition to any collection.
