Alright, so Casio's new Poptone Cubic Puzzle watch may not actually contain any puzzles (or games of any sort, for that matter), but it does boasts some buttons that kind of, sort of resemble Tetris pieces, and it in comes in blue, which is good enough for us. Otherwise, it looks like you'll get all the usual watch functions you'd expect from a watch, including 12 or 24 hour time settings, a stopwatch, an alarm clock, and a backlight -- not to mention an "animated display," which remains something of a puzzle. Sold? Then you can grab one right now in your choice of black or blue for just under $90.

FUGLY :- (
Wow craptastic!
Casio has hit the poop container...
THe last product I purchased from Casio was the Black and white Wrist camera watch... That was the only watch I ever used after getting a cell phone, until someone swiped it...
WTF casio? coming out with crap now?
bring back the casio wrist camera and make it take video!!!!!
$90?! I don't need a watch that badly, besides this cellphone comes in handy.
Struggling to think of a good reason to consider buying this...
agreed, you'd have to be a casio nut, which for the record i am. can't wait to show this off to a few other casio fans. i like it.
90 for that?? I got my awesome solar powered G-shock for like $60!
It's a ladies watch. But who are we kidding, I want it, and I'm a guy.
And search for it on the net, you'll find it for a third of the price and in 3 additional colours.
This would be cool for $10
yeah i'm getting one. like $35 dollars off if you're new to the website.
Looks neat, but without wave ceptor it's a no go for me.
FYI: At the casio website it says $29.95

hmmm your right. thanks man. just saved like 50 bucks.
That sounds much better.
Thanks for the heads up!
I may look into buying it now....
That is the most expensive hideous watch I've ever seen. I used to have a $10 plastic watch with sharks printed on the wristband when I was 8, or 9. If I had to choose between that, and this watch I would probably take the sharks.
Oh, fuck yes, a watch with Sharks beats any other watch in the world.
Overpriced crapgadget?
It's a watch that does nothing except be a watch. Thanks for the fluff/crap/spam article, Engadget.
It shows casio is declining to a point where it might be gone in a year, that's tech news isn't it?
wwhat: Hmm, good point. Besides, my rage is misdirected at Engadget, as it should be towards Casio.
Will you ever forgive my hasty posting, Engadget?
Best title of an article I've seen yet on Engadget. Applause.
In other news...people still wear watches.
Fix the article Engadget, it's $30 on Casio's own website. 90 Dollars is the equivalent to 56 of my Great British Pounds, I'd buy this watch for that as the old school cool appeals to me, for 30 Dollars/ 18 Pounds I might try and get one even if I hardly ever wear it.
Here it is in Casio's store for $29. It says it's backordered, though.

I've bought mine yesterday here in Brazil for R$ 70 (~ US$ 40)
