( CNN ) -- Nobody wants to underwhelm when it comes to their final words on this planet . `` Diane , toast me a bagel . '' So if you knew the exact moment when you were going to die , you might put some serious thought into the matter and really nail it . Of course , you 'd probably want to go out with something inspired and meaningful . Or perhaps a dark , secret confession . Maybe explain to your wife that , yes , you traded her stupid cat on Craigslist for a football phone . And , no , she ca n't have it when you 're gone . The football phone goes in the casket . So does the dog . And whatever beer 's in the fridge . It 's all a little weird to consider , but if having this mortal information appeals to you , there 's a popular new Kickstarter campaign that delivers this gift of death . More specifically , a wristwatch that counts down to your very last moment . It also keeps regular time . Which is good . Because if you miss your appointment for erotic massage , there 's no refund . So I 've heard . But its main job is still to remind you when you 'll die . The watch , appropriately called Tikker , `` counts down your life , in order to make the world a better place . '' And it 's a heartwarming sentiment if you 're into that kind of thing . Helping others and whatnot . I 'm just not sure that if I suddenly knew I had 40 minutes to go , I 'd quickly drop everything , grab a shovel and plant a tree . Truth be told , I 'd probably sit around the house , watch some Netflix and wallow in self-doubt . You know . The usual . But the idea is that you might go out and be a better person if you had a bit more advance warning . Which is why Tikker hopes to inspire people by reminding them that `` death is non-negotiable '' and , as the days slip away , it 's important to `` make the right decisions . '' `` Today I am not wearing pants ! '' Just be careful to make the `` right decision '' at home and not , say , Jamba Juice . Tikker comes from the mind of Fredrik Colting who , after his grandfather passed away several years ago , was inspired to create the `` death watch '' in his honor . Colting said : `` It made me think about death and the transience of life , and I realized that nothing matters when you are dead . Instead what matters is what we do when we are alive . '' I nap a lot . Carpe diem . However , if you 're even slightly more motivated than I am , and if knowing your expiration date is something you 're into , setting up the Tikker death watch will be fairly straightforward . You simply fill out a questionnaire with inquiries about smoking , exercise and general health . That creates a special number from which you then subtract your age . And there you have it : the exact number of years , months , days , hours , minutes and seconds until you take a big dirt nap . With apologies to the word `` exact . '' Tikker is , perhaps , a bit odd , but it 'll definitely be a good conversation starter at the company holiday party . And that 's what Colting wants . `` The occurrence of death is no surprise to anyone , but in our modern society we rarely talk about it , '' he said . `` I think that if we were more aware of our own expiration , I 'm sure we 'd make better choices while we are alive . '' At the time of this writing , with two weeks to go , pledges for the Tikker death watch are at just more than $ 70,000 . Their goal was $ 25,000 . So , clearly , people are pretty excited about confronting their demise . Though hopefully not enough to test it out with a moving train . `` I still have 30 years . Bring it , Amtrak ! '' SMACK ! `` I think Tim forgot to carry the one . '' `` Dibs on his football phone ! '' Follow Jarrett Bellini on Twitter .
Tikker counts down to let you know when you will die . The idea is to make you aware of death and appreciate being alive . The Tikker watch also tells normal time .
