You can't tell the time from this wacky Ant Watch, but the hour won't seem so relevant when you're observing the wonderful world of insects. The captivating workings of nature are all around us, but it's products like this one that really encourage you to stop and consider it.
Made by the Analog Watch Co., this ant farm watch is made from a plant-based plastic that's 100% biodegradable. Along with the customer's choice of a green or black model, he's sent a kit for the maintenance of the tiny terrarium and the care of the busy bugs that live inside. The user is shipped live ants every four months, which is the life expectancy of the critters under these unusual conditions. Nesting sand and sugary water for food come with tweezers and a dropper to keep the wristband inhabitants healthy.
