Boyfriend gifted me this. I AM SO HAPPY.

For anyone wondering, this watch is inspired by Ripley’s watch! It was difficult to find, as apparently it’s no longer being made.

Enjoy it and congrats! Just be very careful with it, it scratches incredibly easily and it’s just plastic underneath.

Wish Apple would offer an interface for this for their watches or something similar. An Apple Watch alien inspired version.

Look, it doesn’t mean you’re engaged or anything…..

That's awesome. What model Casio is this?

Great watch, love Casio

Odd Casio would trouble themselves to bring back an iconic design only to limit its production. I mean you can still get McFlys watch no problem.

[u/TheMostUnclean → u/ClaviusBase]

The A100 model was released as an updated version of the F100 watch used in Alien (actually 2 of them connected together). It isn’t explicitly marketed as from the movie, though. The model is still readily available on the Casio website in their Vintage section.

The silver case in OPs picture is currently out of stock but gunmetal gray, gold and Pac-Man are available. Gunmetal is actually a closer match to the one used on screen in any case.

It’s possible OPs boyfriend is overstating the difficulty or fell into a reseller/knockoff trap.

Yeah, he SEARCHED for that one!
