Oregon Scientific intros weather-forecasting Meteo watch

Oregon Scientific managed to pique our interest with its proximity-sensing Weather In Motion clock, and it now looks like it's got the solution for anyone that wishes they could take it with 'em wherever they go, with the company set to release its new Meteo weather forecasting watch. While the need for a proximity sensor is obviously eliminated this time around, the watch apparently boasts the same weather information in icon-form as its desk-based companion, along with your usual time-telling, stop watch and alarm features. Look for this one to set you back £40 (or about $80) when it's released next month.

what happened to the good old days of looking out the window for the weather...
this design is so boring i don't even want to see it blend.

People got lazy.

F the weather, does it play Bluray?

This just in, the forecast looks like low sales with in high posibility of failure.

Nice...

Gonna get 1 one of these days, watch me (see what I did there? "watch me ;^)...

According to the website, this watch detects barometric pressure to forecast the weather. I was expecting the thing to pick up broadcasts from some sort of weather service. I wouldn't expect this thing to be all that accurate.

If it did altitude I'd be interested. Sorry folks- but a streamlined watch is helpful for those of us who go outside. Weather's likely unreliable.

[Michael @ Apr 25th 2008 5:53PM]

Is it waterproof?

[Mindfield @ Apr 25th 2008 6:38PM]

This is great. With this I could go outside and the watch will tell me whether it's sunny, cloudy, stormy, snowy, or raining down fire and brimstone! Now I can just concentrate on walking instead of walking and worrying about what I'm walking through. It'd be nice if it was more descriptive though. Maybe a temperature readout, and a percentage that will tell me what the weather might do at something. I'd really like to be able to be out and about and just glance at my watch to read something like, "Sunny and 85° with a 30% chance of Godly smiting." That would be nice.

Not impressed

Now, if it controlled the weather......

[Gazmik Fizzwidget @ Apr 25th 2008 7:52PM]

I remember.... Meteo!

Oregon seems like the best place for scientists.

[NoelSM @ Apr 26th 2008 6:21AM]

Wow! Havent we learned not to put anything other than the TIME on a watch. Leave the multi-tasking to our phones or MP3 players. What kind of CEO or President approves these useless devices?

Any time a product reminds me of Tellah, Rydia, FuSoYa et al, I get a special little flutter in my heart.

Poor Tellah had to DIE (translation: blink three times) in a vain attempt at vengeance.

By measuring barometric pressure this watch actually predicts the weather an bit like you grans old fashioned barometer.

I've just got one and its quite cool!!

joan wagar and eric carlson

poisoned me and others, and

they have framed their victums

as pedophiles so no one will

care if I and their other

victums are murdered.
joan and eric have powerful

friends in authority who are

protecting them from

prosecution, mainly by

ignoreing my charges against

them.
a john ray is one of them, and

a blond lady named erica, are

helping joan and eric get away

with this.
their powerful friends in

authority are preventing me

from getting help for this.
they put something on my record

which causes hospitals to not

want to treat me.
eric changed his name and dyed

his hair so he can continue his

crimes without me knowing, that

didnt last long.
all this is happening here at

portland oregon, my name is

terry wagar, im backing up

these charges, and why are the

authoritys ignoring my charges?

and why is eric hideing his

identity and apearence and then

joan tried to set up eric on a

date with shawna, my oldest

daughter, eric now going by the

name gashel, and joan and eric

are working together at

clackamas walmart, eric going

by the name gashel, theres red

roots under all that black hair

eric, what are you hideing from

eric, murderer.
