Finally a cure for sea sickness! The FDA cleared device for motion sickeness is here. This innovative item is cleverly disguised as a 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.
