TEL AVIV - July 2020 - Before work each morning you grab your phone as you struggle to get out of bed; you pull your dirty sneakers on for a morning run; and you post up against that handrail as you ponder another mile. It doesn’t stop there. You come home and shower, cleaning yourself of the morning grime before adding entirely new germs from the keypad at the ATM, the subway rail on the way to work, and the money you touch while loading up on caffeine. Imagine the number of surfaces you touch daily. Now think about the germs each of these surfaces contain, or when they were last cleaned. The things we touch each day aren’t only gross, they’re making us physically ill.

WatchOut is your wearable solution for our new reality so that you can continue your daily routine while staying healthy. When soap and water just isn’t an option, this watch-like gadget brings a whole new level of portability to hand sanitization. Each WatchOut features a comfortable, customized rubberized band with a powerful hand sanitizer solution strapped directly to your wrist. No more fumbling with bottles, or worrying about leaks, WatchOut’s no-drip bottle is the always-on solution you’ve been looking for.

Simply strap WatchOut to your wrist like a bracelet or watch, pop in the included bottle of hand sanitizer spray, and go. Each no-leak, no-drip bottle features an 85% alcohol mixture that’s proven to kill everything from COVID-19 to the germs and bacteria that cause common colds and numerous infections.

Designed for one-handed operation, simply orient the nozzle on the spray bottle in the intended direction and squeeze for a gentle mist of hand sanitizing solution. Rub the solution into your hands until dry — or onto the surfaces around you — until dry to protect yourself from harmful germs and bacteria, the things we really didn’t think about much before.

Being safe and smart is a statement, and WatchOut is available in one of nine colors so you can make the statement you want. Each package includes a WatchOut band, a precision engineered, portable spray bottle that comes pre-filled with high quality sanitizing solution, an additional refillable spray canister, and a full bottle of solution for easy refills.

With WatchOut, hand sanitizer is always close to the hip, literally. Save yourself the hassle of portable sanitizer bottles and wear one instead to protect yourself from the surfaces you touch daily, those where you’d really rather not know what’s on them.

Highlights

  • A one-of-a-kind solution for one of today’s biggest problems

  • Single-handed operation allows for sanitation on the go

  • Perfect for consumers, businesses, and great for giveaways 

  • Nine colorful bands with more on the way

  • A leak-proof aerosol bottle that comes pre-filled with a 85% alcohol-based high quality hand sanitizer solution
