Finally a cure for sea sickness! The [FDA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cala-kiq) cleared device for motion sickeness is here. This innovative item is cleverly [disguised as a watch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fitvii-health-watch). Gentle electrical signals are transmitted to the wrist to convince the brain that you're on solid land. It's water and shock resistant and has five levels for relief. This item can be yours for $100 and just one more piece of information -- it doesn't tell time.

**Implications** - These look-a-like watches are definitely a great cover for their actual use. Despite their inability to track the time, they seem like a great way to ensure you don't spill your beans on a boat!
