Casio has unveiled its newest collaborative timepiece, the limited-edition Rubik's x G-Shock GAE-2100RC-1AER. Set to drop on February 9, the new wristwatch boasts a vibrant color scheme and octagonal case shape, drawing inspiration directly from the iconic Rubik's Cube toy.
In addition, the watch features dual illumination, which is split between the digital and analog components, and a mineral glass front. Moreover, the new G-Shock comes equipped with shock resistance and waterproofing up to about 200 meters. Thankfully, the watch does allow for some user customization as well. Two bezels in black and white are included in the box, as well as a tool that can be used to easily swap them out for one another.
