World's first weather station for your wrist

Oregon Scientific's Weather Watch is "the ultimate accessory for outdoor fun," says the company, and "while looking effortlessly cool it shows the time and weather through its stunning digital display." It's listed as "coming soon" in the UK and "out of stock" in the US.

The weather station aspect is that it "tracks the weather by measuring barometric pressure" and then gives you an icon for sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy or rainy. It's also "water resistant up to 30 metres (98 feet)" so you'll be able to tell the time in the bath. But presumably not the weather.

Does that appeal to your inner Boy Scout tendencies? Or do you just get the time from your phone and the weather from the radio? (Unless you still have one of these, of course.)

The Weather Watch was one of the products Oregon Scientific unveiled at CES, along with the AnyWear 3D Pedometer, Strap-free Heart Rate Monitor, Digital Compass Watch, Wireless Temperature and Humidity Data Station, and the Multi-Room Climate Monitor.
