MAGNO THERAPY WATCH

If you're looking to feel better and know the exact time, then the Field and Stream EMC-2 watch is for you. The watch has 12 to 14 magnets (depending on the size of your wrist) that are concealed within the bracelet. The theory behind the magnets are that they affect the circulatory system. That provides for better blood flow, which results in pain relief.

Magnet therapy has been popular with golfers for years, and the company says golfers were consulted in the design of this watch. For instance, the crown that adjusts the time is set on the opposite side, away from the turning radius of the wrist. The watch is stainless steel and sells for $225.
