If you could know when you
were going to die would you
want to know? Now with ‘the
death watch’ you have a chance
to satisfy your curiosity. “The death watch” that
calculates a person’s life
expectancy based on the
personal data of its wearer is
invented in Sweden. A gadget, that was created by a
Swedish inventor, Fredrik Colting,
calculates a person’s life
expectancy based on the personal
data of its wearer. The Tikker
demands to enter information about your lifestyle, medical
history, bad habits, any instances
of cancer, diabetes and other
serious diseases in their family. They are also asked how much
exercise they do, how much they
weigh before receiving a score.
And when the questionnaire is
done, their age is deducted from
the results to predict a death date. Besides, the so-called ‘death watch’
works as a regular watch, but its
main function is to help people
make the most of their life and
cherish the time they have left. “Imagine someone told you that
you only had one year left to live.
How would that change your life?
For all of us, life comes with a best-
before date. While death is non-
negotiable, life isn’t. All we have to do is learn how to cherish the time
and the life that we have been
given; seize the day and follow our
hearts,” said Mr Colting, who came
up with the idea when his
grandfather passed away. The top row of the watch’s digital
display shows years, months and
days, while the second row counts
down hours, minutes and seconds.
The bottom row shows the local
time. The watch is now available to buy online £49.99 ($80.97)
