James Bond-inspired LASER WATCH will burn through objects from a distance

Hobbyist Patrick Priebe has created a terrifyingly awesome laser watch that will burn through objects from afar

The Apple Watch is already obsolete and it isn't even in the shops yet.

The reason is simple – it doesn't contain a laser that can actually burn stuff.

If that's what you're looking for in a smartwatch, forget about Apple and look towards the work of hobbyist Patrick Priebe.

He's knocked together what he describes as the "Bond-inspired laser watch" and it might well consign the Apple Watch to the bin of history.

That's because this isn't just some laser pointer that has been encased into a box and had a wrist strap attached to it.

No – the 1,500-milliwatt laser in this thing is powerful enough to pop a balloon or even light a candle.

Because the laser is so powerful, the battery on the watch will only last between 5 and 10 minutes. But that’s 5 minutes of awesome laser arson.

Which has got to be better than being able to read your emails or check stock reports on a tiny screen. Sorry, Apple.

I want one. I’d also like to have the wrist reflex dart gun based on the one used on Moonraker.

Will watch the video later.

I was toying with getting an arctic laser to play with and burn stuff for YouTube since people love destruction.
