Wi-Fi watch detects wireless hotspots at the right place, at the right time

Wi-Fi Detecting Watch

We’ve already seen a watch with mobile functionality and Wi-Fi detectors that took the form of a pen and even a shirt. So I guess it should not surprising to have a watch that doubles up as a Wi-Fi detector as well. For the lack of an official branding, let’s just call this cool device the WiFiWatch.

Aside from telling you if its time to check your email or do some other stuff, this watch also offers the usual features including, chronograph, countdown timer, alarm, hourly chime, world time zone mode, calendar and lap memory. And for its Wi-Fi detection feature, the watch can detect Wi-Fi signal with an intensity of 2.4Ghz and AP stations up to 100 meters outdoors. And yes this WiFiWatch is water resistant up to 100 meters, anti-static and even shock proof.

So, if you’re tired of wearing your Wi-Fi detecting shirt or you’ve lost your Wi-Fi detecting pen, you might want to get hold of this uber-cool WiFiWatch as soon as they come back in stock. No word yet on when they are going to re-stock. Otherwise they are retailing for £19.99 (around $40 US) and appear to be available with a minimum quantity order six.

    Nice watch. What you need is an indicator arrow to point in the direction of the signal source so you can quickly home in on the ideal spot to pull out your lap top. Should not be hard to add.
