Sorry, it’s not a watch but part of a defunct Soviet space probe. Kosmos 482 "never made it out of orbit because of a rocket malfunction":

A Soviet-era spacecraft meant to land on Venus in the 1970s is expected to soon plunge uncontrolled back to Earth.

It’s too early to know where the half-ton mass of metal might come down or how much of it will survive re-entry, according to space debris-tracking experts.

Dutch scientist Marco Langbroek predicts the failed spacecraft will re-enter about 10 May. He estimates it will come crashing in at 150mph (242km/h), if it remains intact.

“While not without risk, we should not be too worried,” Langbroek said in an email…

According to Wiki:

The remaining two pieces in orbit are expected to reenter sometime in the second week of May 2025, potentially May 9th or 10th, somewhere between 51.7 degrees north and south latitude.

That covers London but excludes everywhere north of Ipswich (roughly). It’s not something to worry about but I wondered if I might see something of its decent from where I live.

Having seen Storm Éowyn mentioned on the forecast and looking for more information, I found this:

It’s also available on the Met Office app and, I presume, on their website.

Edit: In the video he makes reference to another Deep Dive where the new graphics for the medium range forecast were discussed. It’s this one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=moIuTa3e8i4.
