Get ready to wear a piece of gaming history. Casio just dropped their latest PAC-MAN collaboration watch, and it’s a perfect blend of retro gaming charm and modern functionality.

The CA53WPC-1B ($79.95) transforms the classic Casio calculator watch into a miniature arcade cabinet. The watch face cleverly recreates a PAC-MAN maze, complete with our favorite dot-munching hero and those pesky ghosts. The yellow bezel perfectly frames the display, making it look like you’re wearing a tiny arcade machine.

What makes this release special is its timing – it’s part of Casio’s celebration of their 50th anniversary in watchmaking and a prelude to PAC-MAN’s 45th birthday in 2025. But they didn’t just focus on looks. The watch band uses bio-based resin, showing Casio’s commitment to reducing environmental impact.

Features include water resistance, dual time display, and a long-life battery. Each watch comes in special arcade cabinet-style packaging, and the case back features an engraving of PAC-MAN and the game’s logo.

This isn’t just another retro gaming collectible – it’s a functional timepiece that happens to pack a serious nostalgia punch. At under $80, it’s an affordable way to wear your gaming passion on your sleeve (or wrist, rather).

The CA53WPC-1B is available now, joining Casio’s broader PAC-MAN collection that includes other models ranging from $59.95 to $130. Whether you’re a PAC-MAN fan, a watch enthusiast, or just someone who appreciates clever design, this collaboration delivers.
