We’ve seen less subtle ways of detecting Wi-Fi, but this could be genuinely useful. If you’re the sort to work out and about, but don’t fancy hauling a laptop from your backpack just to scope the Wi-Fi hotspots you’re entering, check this out. It’s a wristwatch that’ll scan for networks and tell you which are free. It’ll also tell the time, packs a calendar, and is anti-static, shock proof and water resistant to 100 metres.
