The Titanic DNA Watch and The Color-changing Shower Head

titanic-dna-watch.jpgI could only think of two types of people who can be interested in the timepiece we’re currently featuring — die-hard fans of Titanic, that ship touted as the unsinkable which sunk on its maiden voyage and die-hard fans of Titanic, the movie. So what do we have here? Why, the Titanic DNA watch, of course. The Titanic DNA watch is, apparently, made from parts of the sunken Titanic. Uhu. So a submarine braved the depths of the ocean to collect scrap metals from the deep blue seas to be made into a watch.

As if that’s not enough, the black dial of the watch is supposedly made from the coals lifted from the Titanic. Um, okay. I guess asking how we could know if the materials were really from the Titanic is out of the question? I don’t suppose you can show us a video of the process from the excavation to the manufacturing, can you? All I can say is, count me out of buying this one.

color-shower.jpgFrom deep waters, let’s shift to waters in your bathroom. Since it’s winter in many parts of the globe today, some people would, of course, taking a bath with warm water. If you’re the quintessential example of someone who doesn’t know how to properly gauge water temperature, these shower heads were made for you. These shower heads from KZLIDEA change color when the water reaches a certain threshold in temperature. Lukewarm water (32 degrees Celsius and below), get the normal white lighting. When the water becomes 33 to 41 degrees Celsius, the shower head turns blue. A warm 42 to 45 degrees Celsius gets a purple while anything above that understandably gets a red. Tweaking the cold/hot water knobs has never been as fun before. Just imagine having your own bathroom disco. As of now, there are no reports of where you can buy these shower heads and for how much. Too bad.
