For those who believe a watch is about more than telling time (or who, for some reason, feel nostalgic for childhood bathtub games), NPR recently covered a bracelet with a 3D-printed pool that features tiny magnetic ducks and bubbles. You can arrange the little guys within your wrist-borne tub. Perhaps unsurprisingly, these tiny ducks and their vessel have made quite a splash on TikTok.

After sharing his creation on the social media platform, like ducks to a pond, his Etsy store has been very busy offering three versions of the bracelet that cost between $62 and $66.
