Imagine yourself in the unfortunate situation where you are trapped under debris after an earthquake or a typhoon disaster or buried under meters of snow as a result of an avalanche. Your watch will most possibly be the only, within reach of access to press a button. Press it and your phone will be transmitting a loud Morse code, as an alarm, indicating your altitude or depth in case rescue is close looking out for you. Simultaneously, an ultrasonic alarm is activated so a K-9 rescue team can listen from bigger distance. As part of your everyday life, you can just use it to locate by sound your favorite device in home, office and outdoors!
