Anybody know how much these watches sell for? No info on the Breitling
site. I recall reading years ago when these first came out that these
watches were only sold to pilots (doubtful) with the intent to limit
the number of false ELT signals. Then again, I doubt the transmitter is
powerful enough to reach any DF gear unless the aircraft or ground unit
is very close by. So... is this just a (overpriced) gimmick for the
gold chain crowd?
in the same price range you could buy yourself an EPIRB with
embedded GPS; may be not as stylish but a tad more effective
I would guess
