RumbaTime watch

The purpose of the RumbaTime watch is not just to tell time. However, it does have a stopwatch, alarm, and backlight mode like normal watches. What makes it different is that this watch contains your medical information and allows you to make wireless payments.

You need to go to the official RumbaTime Go site and set up an account using the 8-digit VITAnumber listed on each watch. From there, you enter in vital medical information that can be scanned in case of an accident. You can also set up an account for wireless payments on certain types of payment scanners. They come in many colors, styles, and prices.
