A new digital wristwatch can help users determine how long they will live, it has been claimed.
Wearers of the watch, named Tikker, are required to fill out a personal questionnaire on their health history and age. This sets a timer which shows the exact seconds, minutes, days and years left in their life, tech website Mashable reported.
Designers of the watch say their intention is to help users avoid wasting time in their lives.
"I think we can have a better life, and make better choices, if we are more aware of our upcoming expiration. It gives us perspective -- the little stuff suddenly doesn't seem so important anymore. That's why I see Tikker as a happiness watch," Fredrik Colting, Tikker's creator said.
The watch also comes with a questionnaire booklet called About Time which helps users calculate the time they are left with.
