The world's first weather watch – lets you know it's raining when it's all too late
Oregon Scientific, with their firm grasp of the concept of the British summer, is releasing the world’s first weather watch next month.
There’s no information as to whether – no pun intended – the watch gets the forecast information from local meteorological centres or its own barometric device, but either way it should provide up-to-the-minute reports, as surely that’s where the benefit of this gadget lies.
That said, I’m not sure what use it is when you’re half way through a 10km hike? You either brought your coat or you didn’t and you’re still going to be sweaty or drenched, depending on your luck, with a smug little watch telling you that it was right all along.
Still, it tells the time and looks pretty good, so at a staggeringly cheap £39.99, I’m officially calling it a bargain. It’s a bargain.
