As a perennial traveler, I'm always looking to catch my next plane, train or ship (but NEVER a bus). Thus a timepiece is naturally a must-have, and [Casio's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-aq240e3a) new Poptone Cubic Puzzle Wristwatch is a great new option.

The Cubic Puzzle watch exudes design cues reflective of Casio's [old databank series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ca500webf) (see Photos 4 & 5). Personally, I love the modernized retro style modified, of course, with a much larger LCD screen. I can see the Casio Poptone Cubic Puzzle becoming a winner and quick.

Gotta run - boarding in 20 minutes.
