Basically an extended version of the Breitling watch, this Personal Locator Beacon will call in the rescue teams anywhere in the world. When you’re ready to put up the white flag simply flip the antenna up and just hit the red button. Immediately a personalized coded signal beams into space, to designated COSPAS-SARSAT satelites, telling them where you are, who you are, any pre-set medical conditions, and that you are in a life threatening situation. Within hours search and rescue, and sometimes the military, will come grab you (at a cost). U.S. Air Force Rescue Center Approved. $600 BUY
