The issue of children's safety has been and still is a very serious one, especially considering the fact that the number of child abductions has increased quite a lot during the past few years. And since most of these events are successfully carried out by the aggressors due to the fact that children, in many situations, can't really call for help, the people from AmberWatch launched back in mid-2005 a device meant to prevent such unfortunate events, namely the AmberWatch Super-Loud Child Safety Alarm.



The device, despite resembling closely a toy watch, is actually a very effective self-protection tool for children. Thus, if the wearer presses two buttons, the AmberWatch Super-Loud Child Safety Alarm starts its powerful alarm system, capable of generating up a powerful sound (up to 115 decibels) accompanied by four flashing red lights for around 30-40 minutes, without the assailant being able to stop it. Moreover, any attempt to break off the molded-clasp wristband also triggers the alarm, thus preventing any kidnapping tentatives.



Despite its true nature, this device has to be pretty attractive, so the target users (little children) will accept to wear it. Thus, the device comes in several colorful models that will surely draw the children's attention, and does offer some basic time-telling functions, as it displays the time, date, day and includes a stopwatch and lap counter.



The AmberWatch Super-Loud Child Safety Alarm works with three long-life button cell batteries (whose level can be permanently checked on the battery-strength indicator displayed on screen), has a very robust design (after all, it will be used by children) and is also splash resistant.



The AmberWatch Super-Loud Child Safety Alarm is available on the manufacturer's websites, as well as other online sources for 25-30 US dollars, which is really a pretty low price to pay for a child's safety.
