Introduction to Gaten Matarazzo
Gaten Matarazzo is an American actor best known for playing Dustin Henderson in Netflix's Stranger Things, the hit science fiction series set in 1980s Hawkins, Indiana. He joined the cast as a teenager when the show premiered in 2016 and has remained one of its most recognizable figures across all five seasons. Beyond acting, Matarazzo is also a singer and has been open about living with cleidocranial dysplasia, a condition affecting bone and teeth development — he has used his platform to raise awareness around it. He has also appeared on Broadway and pursued music, demonstrating a range that extends well beyond the role that made him famous.
The Gaten Matarazzo watch collection, as far as public sightings go, is anchored by a single but culturally loaded piece: the Casio F-91W. The watch appears on his wrist in his role as Dustin Henderson on Stranger Things, and given the show's meticulous period setting, it fits perfectly — the F-91W launched in 1989 and has barely changed since. Whether the choice was a deliberate costuming decision or a happy accident, the result is the same: one of the most produced, most purchased digital watches in history gets another moment in front of a global audience. The F-91W runs on a Casio Module 593 quartz movement, keeps time to within roughly 30 seconds per month, and weighs just 21 grams. It is a watch that costs less than a cinema ticket and has outlasted dozens of far more expensive competitors.
What the collection reflects, at least from what we can document, is less about personal horological enthusiasm and more about a watch finding the right wrist at the right moment. The F-91W does not need celebrity validation — it sells in the tens of millions regardless — but Matarazzo's association with it through Stranger Things has reintroduced it to a younger generation who might otherwise never have noticed it. That is a small but genuine cultural contribution.

The Casio F-91W retails for under $20 yet has appeared on the wrists of presidents, prisoners, and now Dustin Henderson — the beloved character played by Gaten Matarazzo in Netflix's Stranger Things. First introduced in 1989, this lightweight resin digital watch has never been discontinued, a testament to its near-perfect utilitarian design. Its appearance in the show is period-appropriate for the 1980s setting and quietly brilliant costume work, reinforcing the F-91W's status as one of the most culturally loaded cheap watches ever made.
