I think one of the most annoying things about New York City is that the weather here can constantly change. Yesterday was a perfect example of this bipolar phenomenon. The morning was hot and humid and in the evening I walked into my apartment drenched from the pouring rain outside.

Wouldn't it be efficient to have your own gadget that can forecast the weather, especially when the meteorologist on the morning news tells you something completely different? Oregon Scientific just released a new digital watch, the Meteo Weather Forecast Watch RA121, which tracks the weather through measuring barometric pressure trends.

The watch, an ultimate expression of geek chic, shows upcoming weather conditions in the next 12 to 24 hours through four weather icons, including sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy, and rainy. It also features a stopwatch function that works up to 60 hours, a reverse LCD display, calendar, alarm, and backlight functions, and water resistance up to 98 feet.

For those of you who may be interested in a weather station on your wrist, you can get the watch now for $69.99 on the Oregon Scientific Web site.
