Abstract

A wrist watch includes a vibrator and a receiver for receiving radio signals from a mobile phone. When an incoming call is detected, the mobile phone sends a signal to the watch's receiver informing it of the incoming call. In response to reception of the signal, the watch vibrates and may also flash to indicate to the wearer that their phone has received an incoming call. The watch may also include a button which, when pressed, causes a radio signal to be sent to the mobile phone. In response to receiving this signal, the phone emits an audible signal, even if its battery is flat, to enable the wearer of the watch to locate their lost or missing phone.
