Post subject:  Breitling Emergency

Hi All,

As ive said before im look at the Breitling Emergency as my next purchase. The big question is - lets just say my daughter manages to get hold of my watch and pulls out the aerial and starts the alarm??

I understand that once this is done the watch needs to go back to breitling to be reset and a new aerial installed. Id rather find out on here what would happened than finding out for real. Thanks guys and sorry if this question sounds a bit daft. Its my only concern about buying it.

That and the huge fine for setting off a false distress signal. If you are not going to use the beacon I believe it can be disarmed. Otherwise treat it like a firearm. When not on you, it should be locked. :?

The first thing that will happen is that a helicopter will start circling over the watch (no, seriously).

The second thing is that you will be presented with a very large fine (around $50,000)

The third thing is that the watch needs to go back to Breitling - seems fairly minor in the grand scheme of things :shock:

It's not terribly easy to 'accidentally' activate the transmitter, you have to unscrew it, pull the aerial all the way out and then pull again, but it really will cause a major emergency response and a very large bill.
