Simple. A writewatch with some sort of proximity sensor, attuned to some unique aspect of the owner. It would play a tune when the user got to far away. Perhaps "We'll meet again" - giving a plesant reminder that it has been left behind.

I explored ideas relating to this, using RFID tags. It contains a link to a scientist working on this. [GusLacerda, Apr 30 2001, last modified Oct 05 2004]

How about strapping it onto your wrist? |
|
| |
Why a wristwatch? I actually need this device for my pen, walkie-talkie, walkman, and car keys. |

with a backup chain connected to earring and/or navel piercing |

Hey, why not just tatoo a watch on your wrist. You'll
never lose it (unless you want to pay a plastic surgeon
$1000 a square centimetre to burn it off with a laser) and
it will be right twice a day - guaranteed. |
|
| |
centauri, you have a walkie-talkie? |

roinek, I think you meant rooinek? |

I think there's a bakeable idea in here. |

Instead of detecting proximity to the owner the wristwatch could work another device - say an electronic organiser - as could all the other devices you have. So if anything that you should have on you all the time starts fading into the distance it can set off an alarm. |
|
| |
This could be achieved cheaply with small supergluable transponders or expensively with a radio system like Bluetooth. |
|
| |
Or you could just carry it all in a notebook carry bag like I do. You tend not to leave something worth $4,000 behind too often. Which brings me to another point... shell out $15K for a Rolex, or $50K for an Ebel, or $150K for an Audemars Piguet watch and I'll bet you never lose your watch again. |

Piguet, P.I.G.U.E.T. We can't help it if Angel lives in some one horse backwoods burg. [see link to their website] |

[UnaB]: I actually knew that :-) One horse, no Starbucks, but we *do* have jewellers. I just thought you might be suggesting a new method of wealth distribution. |
