"Tick tock. Time is passing by. Life is spinning madly on. It's all overwhelming, but what if you had a watch to tell you the exact seconds, minutes, days and years left in your life?\nTikker is a digital wristwatch that helps users determine how long they have left to live. Wearers fill out a personal questionnaire on their health history, subtract their age from the results and voil\u00E0: the countdown begins. Each Tikker watch comes with a questionnaire booklet called \"About Time,\" which guides users on the process of calculating their lifespan.\nAlthough projecting your own \"end date\" seems morbid, Tikker says its intention is to help users avoid wasting time in their lives.\nSee also: 7 Fantastic Calendar Apps To Keep You on Schedule\n\"I think we can have a better life, and make better choices,\u00A0if we are more aware of our upcoming expiration. It gives us perspective \u2014 the little stuff suddenly doesn't seem so\u00A0important anymore.\u00A0That's why I\u00A0see Tikker as a happiness watch,\" Fredrik Colting, Tikker's creator, told Mashable in an email.\nWhile Tikker has been called \"the death watch,\" Colting emphasized the positive side of knowing how much time one has left to live. He said he was inspired to create Tikker after his grandfather died.\nAfter more than two years of development, Tikker aims to move into production with the funds raised from their recently launched Kickstarter. So far, the campaign has raised over $3,000, and will be open to backers until Nov. 1. Those pledging $39 or more will receive a Tikker watch by April.\nWould you wear Tikker?
