Smart Watch

The SHD Smart Watch (or SmartWatch) is a wrist-worn electronic device issued to all active-duty Strategic Homeland Division agents. 
Far more than a simple timepiece, it has the functionality of a touchscreen PDA and communications relay when linked to a powerful transceiver, or 'brick', worn on the agent's backpack. This digital gearset is an agent's direct pipeline to ISAC and the encrypted SHD Network, providing unmatched tactical awareness. 
The Smart Watch, with its glowing orange ring, is perhaps The Division's most iconic piece of hardware. In a post-pandemic America, civilians and hostile factions have come to recognize wearers as Division agents, and some - notably the Hunters - consider them as trophies to be claimed. Alternatively, a red Smart Watch is a warning that an agent has gone rogue. 
==Overview==
Upon completing field training and achieving active-duty status, every Division agent recruit receives an SHD Smart Watch. It 
serves as an informal rank signifier to local and federal field personnel and fellow agents, while being discreet enough to wear in civilian settings.
Unless otherwise abandoned or stolen, a Division agent keeps their Smart Watch on their person at all times. When an agent is activated, the watch's outer ring will glow orange, whereupon the agent must abandon their civilian lives and report to their nearest Division armory for active duty. The watch will continue glowing until the agent is deactivated; if one is ever lost or damaged, any replacement Smart Watch can be recalibrated to recognize its new wearer using voice commands. 
When an agent is marked rogue by ISAC, their Smart Watch's outer ring will change from orange to red. This originally blocked an agent's access to the SHD Network and SHD Tech, but this protocol was amended at the behest of Calvin McManus, allowing marked agents to retain Smart Watch functionality as a precautionary margin of error. 
Smart Watches are of particular interest to Hunters, who collect them from slain Division agents - loyal or rogue - as trophies. A Hunter will often sever an agent's hand with a crash axe to remove their watch. Whether they have ulterior motives for gathering Smart Watches, such as gaining access to the SHD Network, is unknown.
== History ==
The Smart Watch and ISAC Brick were designed by Ortiz Robotics, under contract with the U.S. Department of Defense. The technology was first conceived as a cost-effective IFF system to let ISAC track biometrics and personalized IDs, thereby avoiding friendly fire from automated defenses. The company also created a unique Smart Watch for Calvin McManus that could access all three AI systems--ISAC, ANNA, and DIAMOND. It also lacked an antenna 'brick', as MacManus found them too bulky to wear. 
Black Tusk CEO Natalya Sokolova briefly considered adopting the system for her operatives, but declared the system too bulky and suggested miniaturizing or combining the interface (watch) and receiver (brick) into a single device. However, results found it would require a larger interface to house both units, and would be exponentially more expensive to produce.
After the death of a Division agent who was mistakenly marked rogue, Claire Ortiz altered the Smart Watch to allow continued functionality and SHD Tech access for rogue agents. This also led to the deployment of the Hunters, as an alternative failsafe against future rogues.
==Design==
This wrist-worn device gives Division agents the ability to communicate with their allies, scan objects or targets, hack electronic systems, and self-diagnose injuries with the watch's built-in Medical Evaluation app. It contains special sensors that monitor the wearer's vital signs and measure physical, chemical, and biological elements in the environment. 
Certain Smart Watches, such as Aaron Keener's, have the ability to override the security protocols of other Smart Watches in close physical proximity and "clone" their biometric IDs, allowing the user to impersonate those agents. 
A list of primary Smart Watch capabilities and linkages includes: 
*Communication, peer-to-peer and wideband
* Data collection and analysis
*Enhanced situational awareness and AR enhancement
* Electronic Aggregation Pulse via ScanTek contact lenses
* Drone controller interfaces
=== SHD Antenna===
The SHD Antenna, or "ISAC Brick", is a communication device that relays data between a Smart Watch and local ISAC Nodes. 
It is typically mounted on a field agent's backpack, with a glowing ring that matches the current color of its corresponding watch; the ring will dim while disconnected from the SHD Network. It also houses the agent's Pulse radar device.
===Scantek Lens===
All Division agents wear Scantek contact lenses that project an augmented reality heads-up display (AR HUD) directly over their field of vision, highlighting threats, points of interest, and reconstructed ECHOs. They also employ micro-piezoelectric sensors that generate power from saccadic eye movements, which keep them consistently charged. 
However, like other SHD Tech, they are vulnerable to electromagnetic pulses (EMPs), which can temporarily scramble the lenses' visual output.
=== Audiometric Earpiece ===
To receive audio transmissions and ISAC's situational feedback, agents wear a custom-fitted wireless earpiece calibrated for their hearing range. The auto-charging buds come in a variety of designs, but all feature rubber guards to protect the wearer from flashbangs and other loud noises. 
On occasion, Hunters have exploited this feature by broadcasting shrill, high-pitched screams as a form of information warfare, deafening and disorienting their victims.
===Colors===
Once an agent is marked rogue by ISAC (or their tech is maliciously compromised), the watch's glowing outer ring will change from orange to red. However, both Black Tusk and Aaron Keener's rogues have developed countermeasures to prevent Smart Watches from turning red.
While in the Descent Facility, Smart Watches will glow green, a protocol designed exclusively for the training simulation.
Calvin McManus's unique Smart Watch originally changed colors when switching from one AI system to another. Due to perceived ridicule, this functionality was later removed in favor of a single color.

==Trivia == 
* In Tom Clancy's The Division 2, a rogue agent's watch would originally glow grey or not glow at all until they killed another agent, after which the watch would begin glowing red. Following Warlords of New York's changes to the Rogue system, the watch will now instantly glow red when becoming rogue.
*Although The World of Tom Clancy's The Division states that a Division agent's Smart Watch stops glowing once they are killed, there are many observable instances of dead agents' watches continuing to glow, such as when taken as trophies by Hunters or on the Memento Exotic backpack.
