This wearable tech can save your life. The Smith & Wesson 1911 .45 caliber pistol is perfect for larger purses.

This is pretty cool actually. I could see this also being useful for people with disabilities who are trying to live independently, or their caretaker has run an errand and something happens, like a fall or seizure(most seizures have onset symptoms). You could really expand your marketing if you wanted. I know my mother would feel better if I had something like this, since I have multiple chronic illnesses that cause me to fall.

While this is extremely useful, I wouldn't exactly call it "jewelry". I mean, it's cool and everything, but it won't go in my jewelry box!

[DanielleNewnham]

Such a brilliant idea and awesome founder

[JustYourAverageGirl]

Isn't this basically LifeAlert without it connecting you to actual emergency

[darienford]

Here's the thing someone can just easily yank the device off of you and drag you else where. You should still carry a taser. This doesn't prevent assualt

[allthingsfascinating]

Does it modify the look of the jewelry in any way?

[grimkidcoffee]

Why not connect to the police? Why emergency contacts?

[SrtBthay]

It's an incredible product but many cell phones these days already has these features you don't even need an app, so if you can't afford athena look it up on google to see if your phone have it

[msgrace]

This is Will it one day be able to contact police?

[LouLou-ikux]

Not many women can afford this at $70. At least make it affordable

[jjtt]

what a waste of just like screaming....wont affect anything or much....criminals will still hurt you but they will do it quicker and maybe if they hear that...they will just kill you and run...if you really wanna deter criminals...use your 2nd amendment right to carry and train with it....if criminals see that you will hurt THEM, they run the other way

[gianafarn]

She should make it prettier, so more people would buy it

[wenz]

Well，now the role of jewellery is beginning to become interesting. Excluding the role of people, do I have to reflect on myself.

[bethanydart]

For all the women out there or men if you push your lock screen button Six times and I’ll give you an option to press emergency and it’ll send your location to the cops

[eh]

If you cant afford this and you have an iPhone, just hit the off button 5 times and hit “Emergency SOS”
Stay safe ❤️

[Krystalwatchesvideos]

Ok first off, why would I want my friends to know? As if they could really do anything to help me in an emergency. Just have it call 911.

[bluetrapp]

These should be given to kids. Only kids that can be trusted to use it responsibly of course, but anyone of any sex or gender who thinks they might ever be in a situation where they can't save themselves.

I subbed to this channel for lego tutorials not social experiments and or things like this

[AffirmationsPositives..]

Men can be raped too
Women are not the only one to be in danger
You're basically saying that women need to be protected from men but everyone needs to be safe
It just feels like men always have power over women but it can also be the opposite
