Abstract: A timepiece incorporating monitoring, messaging, tracking, and/or emergency services into a watch. Specifically, (1) a biometric module can be installed into the watch for communicating any detected removal of the watch from a person wearing the watch to one or more remote terminals (e.g., a landline telephone, a cellular phone, a personal computer, a laptop and/or a personal data assistant), (2) a telecommunication module can be installed into the watch for communicating a telecommunication message (e.g., a voice message or a text message) between the watch and the remote terminal(s), (3) a global positioning system module can be installed into the watch for communicating information indicative of a location of the watch to the remote terminal(s), and/or (4) an emergency module can be installed into the watch for communicating an emergency alert signal from the watch to the remote terminal(s).
