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
