http://metro.co.uk/2013/10/15/time-to-die-death-watch-named-tikker-predicts-the-moment-of-your-demise-4147580/

a watch has been designed that can predict the precise time a person will die – in a bid to make them savour every moment.

Dubbed ‘the death watch’, Tikker counts down from the years to the seconds remaining until the wearer’s demise.

I brought two of these watches and wear one on each wrist. The trouble is that one of them is running an hour fast. :faint:

Those watches, coupled with our UK graveyards getting to capacity, would start people 'panic dying'.
