THE LINK SAYS:

The watch this guy's wearing was made by Armatix, the same company who designed his high-tech gun. Poor fellow can't ditch the ugly accessory though, because the $10,000 weapon won't fire without it.

Basically the gun is disarmed and a red LED lights up unless the corresponding watch is close enough to send a wireless signal. While I really don't see a high demand for it, Armatix's .22cal weapon will be shipping next month for 7,000 euro, which is just under 10k in Washingtons. The watch is probably included.

We're getting another step closer to personalized safeties, guns only firing when the Ares security guy (with the chip in his head) is using it, etc, etc. Piss-poor ugly stuff in the photos on the link, of course, but the concept is kind of cool.
