Inflate the removable, built-in neck pillow for a comfortable ride. You can stash items in the pillow’s pocket, too.
3) Eclipse Minimalist Watch
The ZIIIRO Eclipse watch takes a bold approach to telling time. The standout watch face forgoes numbers and the typical hands, and instead uses black and white to mark the passing of time.
