You don't need to worry about the rings being conspicuous ... someone has come up with an even better idea for a wearable GPSr that looks even betterPapa Bear_Left wrote:Yeah, cos big blue vibrating rings on both hands is sooooo much less suspicious than holding something that could well be a phone or a PDA!
