Weird Stuff: November’s Oddball Launches
Alright you lot, November’s creeping in and the product weirdness isn’t letting up. From titanium moonlit watches to fiery hot cheese —here are five quirky things you can actually buy (or pre‑order) in the UK before Christmas 2025.
Citizen ATTESA “Platinum Shine” Limited‑Edition Watches
To mark 55 years of their titanium watch legacy, Citizen drops a trio of recrystallised titanium timepieces under the ATTESA name this November. Each watch uses Citizen’s Duratect Platinum treatment to get a crystalline lunar‑silver texture. Globally released in November 2025 in a limited run of 2,200 units.
Moonwatch vibes meet wearable science.
Baileys “Cinnamon Swirl” Irish Cream (Limited UK Release)
Baileys has dropped a limited edition Cinnamon Swirl flavour in the UK, exclusively in Sainsbury’s stores. It blends the classic Irish cream with warm cinnamon roll notes. The 700 ml bottles are being spotted in about 600 supermarkets.
Sony REON POCKET PRO Wearable Climate Device
Sony’s REON line doesn’t just stop at cooling. The REON POCKET PRO—a wearable thermo device that can cool or warm—is up for preorder in the UK. It uses sensors and dual thermal modules to adjust in real time, with SMART mode switching between hot and cold. UK preorder from May 2025, likely in hands before year end.
Your jacket’s new brain.
Citizen ATTESA Radio-Controlled Eco-Drive Models (Additional Editions)
Not quite as flashy, but still proper geek territory: Citizen is releasing radio-controlled Eco-Drive ATTESA models in November (e.g. AT8284‑61A, CB0284‑66A), featuring their Direct Flight world time function and signature titanium bodies. These join the Platinum Shine line in the limited drop.
Timezones don’t stand a chance.
Fiery Hot Babybel – Stranger Things Edition
A spicy twist on beloved cheese: Babybel’s “Fiery Hot Babybel”, launched in collaboration with Stranger Things, is now available in select UK supermarkets (e.g. Sainsbury’s). A six‑pack retails at ~£2.25.
Cheese that bites back.
