BACK TO THE FUTURE Flux Capacitor Watch
Everyday we inch closer to the 30th anniversary of the theatrical release of Robert Zemeckis’ Back to the Future. Next year we’ll also be living in the future year depicted in Back to the Future Part II. So it’s no wonder why we’ve seen an influx of BTTF-themed items modeled after the Flux Capacitor, from a USB charger to an extremely accurate replica that you can use as a keychain. We’ve also seen concept art for a Flux Capacitor watch and a parody video that imagined that the then unreleased iPhone 6 came equipped with a working version of Doc Brown’s invention. We didn’t get a time traveling phone, but Think Geek made the Flux Capacitor watch a reality — or, at least, a watch modeled after the look of the Flux Capacitor. Here’s a breakdown of how to read the time using the flashing flux lights:
Press the bottom button and then get ready to count lights. Time is divided into hours, minutes first digit, minutes second digit - so it looks confusing, but is very easy to read. (Example: 10 lights, 5 lights, 3 lights = 10:53 - and it repeats). At the same time, the time circuit LCD display will show you the date.
There’s also a "Time Travel" mode button that, when pressed, will play light animation and then display a random date. The watch is available exclusively at Think Geek and is reasonably priced at $49.99. It would be a great addition to any Marty McFly cosplay. Of course, if you wanna have a more accurate time piece to what Michael J. Fox wore in the movie, you’d better also spring for the Classic Calculator Watch, which is actually cheaper at only $24.99.
