I can't think of a really good reason for such a device, but the wristband would sense your pulse and light up/glow/blink in rythm with your heartbeat. You could tell if I was nervous, relaxed, etc. Just kinda creepy knowing that it's my heartbeat making my watch blink, sort of like a pseudo-biological feedback indicator, with no other purpose than to amuse and intrigue. The watch functions normally otherwise.

Plenty of people need to monitor their hearts for health reasons, so there is a ready market for this. I have no idea if you can find ones that pulsate, but it wouldn't surprise me.

It seems that there's already the technology, but I've yet to see a watch that makes aesthetic use of your hearbeat. Those pulsating watches are cool. Now all they need to do is add a heart monitor...
