Talk to the wrist

T+D, Sept, 2003

The X2X is the first watch to include a two-way radio. With 22 chanels--14 FRS and 8 GMRS--you can keep in touch with friends and co-workers at distances of up to two miles. An optional headset lets you talk handsfree and spares you from speaking into your wrist, though you do lose some of the secret agent appeal.

Xact Communications WristLinx X2X, US$39.98; www.xactcommunication.com.

Circle 293 on reader service card.
