WiFi Detecting Watch

The WiFi Detecting Watch is an LCD timepiece that features a WiFi signal strength reader. The device allows the wearer to measure the strength of local WiFi signals without the inconvenience of having to set of a laptop, only to find weak or nonexistent internet reception.

The WiFi Detecting Watch discerns WiFi radio frequencies just as a laptop does. Instead of representing the strength of the signal in graphical "bars," however, it simply registers it as a number, on a scale of zero to eight. With an eye on the watch, a user can zero in on a signal's "sweet spot" by exploring the area.
