I have noticed that this year all the housemates have watches on. They are all identical so they must have been provided for them.
Other years they have had to rely on BB3 the cooker and BB2 a clock provided for the task , That is one change I have noticed so far. Any one else spotted anything?

Ooh well spotted Jbellemeg, I hadn't noticed that

[jbellemeg]

Just had a thought.
Maybe they are electric tags. Can't get a good enough look at them to see if there is a watch face on them.

I remember seeing the one on Ray's (I think) wrist. It looked like a watch but didn't appear to have a face. Someone also mentioned about the clock on the cooker. Hopefully we'll find out in the next day or so exactly what it is!

I'm intrigued now by these "watches". Can't wait to find out their purpose.

You'd make a good detective, Jill. I didn't even notice them.

[steve_o]

There on about these now still can't make out what there for though. Maybe there for traking mileage running round the block.

Howdy,

These 'watches' that you refer to are known as 'Acti-watches'. An Acti-Watch is an actigraphy-based data logger. Basically, actigraphy is a way that sleep patterns, quality, etc are assessed and monitored.

They technically record:

Sleep/Wake Patterns
Sleep Disorders
Circadian Rhythms Disorders
Basic Activity Levels
Compliance with Exercise Routines

Thar, hope that clears it up

Hi marky/Dustmite!

You are a mine of information. Keep it coming!

[BigSister]

Yeah i thought i saw something when I think it was Ray said what time is it and then he said oops sorry
Or maybe its my imagination

[kaphc]

Well spotted jbellemeg!!! I hadn't noticed anything like that - you must have a good eye for detail.

So Big Brother is getting even more Big Brothery now then by logging data on the housemates .....

Thanks for the information, Marky and a BIG welcome from me to TiBB.

Hope you'll enjoy posting here.

You are right BigSister. Ray did ask what time it was and said oop's. Maybe BB has told them not to draw attention to the fact that they are all wearing the same item ( what ever they might be ).
We will no doubt find out in a later program.
Welcome dustmite.
Have we got a rival to sticks?

Hubby and I had noticed the "watches" too.

Thanks for the info!
