The new Baby Boom fertility watch from Laks

As much as we love to integrate superfluous technology into our everyday doings, we've gotta say that this new "Baby Boom" fertility wristwatch from techno-watch extraordinaire Laks has us just a little bit creeped out. Maybe it's the concept of a cold little digital device helping out with tracking fertile days, pregnancy weeks and finding baby names, or the fact that the watches look decidedly man-ish, but whatever it is, Laks seems to have packed in some hefty fertility-centric capabilities -- and we're just not sure how we feel about that. Anyways, we're guessing the black and grey watch is a sort of "him and hers" setup, since they're sold in a two pack for 149 Euro ($189 US), while a single watch goes for 90 Euro ($114 US). They should be shipping now.

I see they're waterproof to 100M. Nice.

"When the time is right, will you be ready?"

i am positive that my girlfriend will want this watch!

So this watch basically...is what? A 28 day callender, which one would expect to set to the human female's average biological cycle? Er.... Yea. I can see some alternate uses for this.

"Hey you want to come over for game night on friday?"
"No, sorry I'm going to be with my girlfrie"......."actually, Friday would be good. I think I'm going to postpone that thing with her."

wow, there is ONE gadget I don't even want for free.

[TeleCustom @ Sep 19th 2006 6:48PM]

Mr. Packard up there is right though. Could be very useful in the opposite manner...

...they just need to make one with the ability to keep track of a few women. You know, for the more promiscuous out there.

IT could also be used as a birth control. You know the days to watch out.

[Steve Packard @ Sep 19th 2006 7:20PM]

Damn you roboform. I clicked tghe "fill form" button and it put my real name there. Um...damn. Well thanks for pointing that out. Er....yea...actually...that's not my name. My name is.... Nic Lentini. Yeah...that's it. Lentini

Because more people in this world is exactly what we need. >.>

So it doesn't even blood test you or measure temperature variations or anything?

Seems like a cynical cashin to milk desperate unfertiles...

testing the p/w feature....

one good thing about the watch is you can't tell what it does just by looking...so no one knows u are using it

[Matt @ Sep 20th 2006 1:27AM]

Oh wow...next thing you know they will have deodorant sticks that tell you stock market tips.

[Travis @ Sep 20th 2006 10:27AM]

any body got a hack yet to tell when your wife/GF is PMSing.... I'd buy one for that in a heartbeat.....

That way I could know which days I need to work late

I take it the men's watch has a wireless receiver so the guy knows when the woman is ripe?
