Red Dwarf was right...

Apple's new iWatch will come fitted with an ultraviolet light detector to stop fanbois and fangurlz from scorching themselves in the hot summer sunshine, an analyst has predicted. Blayne Curtis, a chip analyst with Barclays, was quoted by a Barrons' blogger as saying the UV sensor would be installed to help health-conscious …
I predict that this sensor will be very useful, and will tell us exactly when the iWatch is due to be released. When it stops receiving all UV data, because hell has frozen over, then-and-only-then will Apple sell a watch.
I suspect they'll be selling a 32K, curved, OLEP, 3d, 100" diamond-encrusted telly first...
...I was printing watches* that told you the risk of sunburn 20 years ago, along with stickers that did the same. Needless to say, most were shipped to South Africa and Australia, not much demand in the UK.
*By watches, they were coated PVC wrist straps in the shape of a watch to stop you getting a weird tan line. And no, they couldn't tell the time.
Looks like they still make them.

teams of developers are frantically working on copying the same functionality for the forthcoming S6.
Joking apart, sometimes I do wonder if sometimes some leaks (not only from Apple) are deliberately put out there to mislead the competition. Will there even be an iWatch? It would be ironic if there wasn't one in the pipeline.
Before you downvote this see the icon.
Since only vampires and gingers will be interested.
Basically this thing will tell you what day it is and that it is in fact day time. As im not a fanbois I dont struggle with either of these variables.
I want an accelerometer in the iWatch. That way I can write an app that counts the number of times you fist bump in a day to make calculating how much of a twat you are that much easier.
Id like to call it the Gangstulator.
The middle class gangsters from the ghetto of surrey will love it.
I could add a ranking system as well. E.g. 50 fist bumps in 24 hours makes you a level 10 pimp. So when they congregate at Cafe Rouge for a hard night on Irish Coffee, Sherry and Moules (you know the real underground shit) they can settle their disputes over bluetooth. Cafe Rouge is just an example, could also be Nandos or Strada. Or ifbthey are from a particularly tough Berkshire ghetto...Pizza Express.
Also they will know to whom the Monte Cristo should be passed to next.
Chris G, genius. However id be inclined to go the other way and measure the extremes.
How about something that calculates how many G of force a fapper might be achieving and the number of reps. Im seeing online leader boards and a possible international sporting event here. The various data farming agencies out there could use the collected data to combat terrorism as im sure theres a link (albeit probably very weak) between how radical someone is and how hard they fap.
Imagine the pub talk...
Derek: I see you managed 0.1G last night Jeremy. Well done. How did you manage it?
Jeremy: Hard work, strong grumble and lots of spare time.
Derek: Wow. Ive booked 2 weeks off work and blown the dust off Animal Farm. I will destroy your rating.
Unfortunately there is already an application called Fap Turbo (its not what you think SFW http://fapturbo2.com/). So im stuck for names.
