While perhaps not the best looking watch, it is hard to find others that have a built-in distress transmitter. Yes, next time you get that “I think I need an airforce to come get me” feeling, just unscrew that bottom knob, and pull the cord. You will immediately alert any plane within 90 nautical miles, and 20,000 feet altitude. Go on….you know you need it. For $4,674 you’ll never feel lonely again, you will always have a search and rescue team on your wrist.
