Abstract:
1. A rescue-facilitating emergent and non-emergent communicating wrist watch, comprising: a waterproof and shock-resistant, timer housing and a wristband secured thereto for facilitating attachment to a user's wrist via said wristband; a microprocessor disposed in said timer housing and being connected to a GPS location-sensing mechanism, said microprocessor also having stored therein at least one prerecorded emergent and non-emergent message; a time and other data display, disposed in but visible external to said housing, in communication with said microprocessor, and having at least two data display fields to selectively and simultaneously display the time of day and at least one other item of data; the item of data is user selectable from the group consisting of: current weather conditions; future weather conditions; temperature; one or more of said prerecorded, emergent and/or non-emergent messages; newly composed and/or received messages; battery strength; and signal strength; a two-directional, communication module, connected to said microprocessor and connected to an antenna, said antenna being substantially disposed within said wristband; said wrist watch also comprising a dedicated emergency activation mechanism for selectively transmitting through said antenna said GPS location and, if stored, said pre-recorded emergent message, to a remote receiver via said communication module; at least one transceiver, adapted to transmit said GPS location and at least one of said emergent or non-emergent messages; and a user-activated interface mechanically separate from said dedicated emergency activation mechanism and adapted to allow the user to select and transmit or receive through said antenna, at least one prerecorded non-emergent message from said microprocessor, if stored, and/or newly composed or received messages.
