Polimaster Gamma Radiation Indicator Watch is a watch that indicates how many damaging gamma rays a person is exposed to. The makers of the watch suggest that frequent fliers pick one up. In reality, the only people that are likely to fly enough to absorb problem levels of gamma radiation are airline staff and pilots; who have no real way of escaping it as an occupational hazard unless they quit their jobs.

In the event of a nuclear apocalypse, there might be a use for a gamma ray detecting watch, but barring that, I don’t see much use. If you are wearing one of these then it probably goes well with your tin foil hat.

Price: $370 [Polimaster via Oh Gizmo!, Uncrate]
