Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Live out your fantasies of parading about like everybody's favorite yellow-suited detective with the WristLinx X3X two-way radio from XACT Communication. Stylish and versatile, the wristwatch-like X3X houses both a digital clock and a 22-channel FRS/GMRS 2-way walkie-talkie with a 1.5-mile range.

Voice activation is ideal for hands-free communication--just speak into the microphone and the X3X will beam your words directly to any other FRS walkie-talkie user in range. The unit's backlit LCD is clear and easy to read, showing time, use mode, signal strength, and battery strength.

The radio runs on a rechargeable lithium-ion battery (included), which charges when the unit is plugged into its AC/DC power adapter. Running time on a single charge is about 2 hours. Other features include channel scan, call alert, and an electronic volume control. The radio has a 300mW TX power output and 5.2 MHz bandwidth.

What's in the Box
WristLinx 2-way radio, 1 XB10 rechargeable battery, battery-charging AC power adapter (XA10), and a user's manual.

Note: The FCC requires self-licensing for use of GMRS channels 15 to 22.

AND SHE WON'T LOOSE IT.ALL THE KIDS AROUND WANT ONE,SEEMS TO BE MADE EXTREMELY WELL TOO. THANK YOU XACT

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great for its intended use, June 24, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: XACT Communications WristLinx X3X 1.5-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radio Wristwatch (Silver) (Electronics)

This is the perfect radio to strap onto you kids when you need to be able to recall them, or just make sure they are doing fine. We use it around the block and camping. Most of the time our higher power radios can reach them far away, but these can not always transmit back. At least they know it is time to come home. These have a great 'COOLNESS' factor and all of the kids want to try it. Have used them for about 2 months and they are still working, that is pretty good. Battery life has been better than I expected, but once it is drained, there is no spare and you are done for the day. Sound quality is also better than I expected out of a small unit, but it is still not as clear as a good Motorola. The kids will have LOTS of fun!

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor Reception, October 26, 2004

This review is from: XACT Communications WristLinx X3X 1.5-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radio Wristwatch (Silver) (Electronics)

I purchased 3 of these watches to keep track of my sons in the neighborhood. They are not small but rather quite bulky (especially on a 7 year old). The antennea that flips up looks as though it could be easily broken. If my sons attempted to throw a baseball with this watch on I'd be surprised if it stayed on the wrist. My main complaint though is the reception. They worked fine in and around the house but as soon as you walked around the corner the reception faded and within a 1/4 of a mile there was no reception whatasoever.
