With Groundbreaking Safety Technology, the G|B Defender Gets Fear Off Your Mind By Putting Safety In Your Hands

Research Triangle Park, NC, Sept. 27, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Guardian Band launches the G|B Defender, the first smartwatch that functions as a safety security camera, on Indiegogo September 26, 2019.

Guardian Band designed the G|B Defender with cutting edge technology to empower you in threatening situations. With one touch, the G|B Defender streams live video, audio, and GPS location to alert your Guardian Network and capture a potential attacker's identity. When every second counts, there's no need to fumble through apps, scroll through screens, or even pull out your phone. Best of all, the G|B Defender isn't Bluetooth dependent. With its own SIM card and number, it doesn't need a nearby cell phone to operate. With the G|B Defender, Guardian Band is writing a new chapter for the #MeToo movement.

We have all become aware of the threats that worry college students walking at night, parents dropping kids at the mall, people entering a ride share, elderly people in nursing homes, real estate agents meeting potential clients, and even hotel workers entering a guest's room. But consequences for rapists and assailants are still discouragingly low. Only 6% of rapists will ever spend a day in jail, and 15 out of 16 rapists will walk free. The G|B Defender works to change these statistics in three ways:

• 1. Prevention. Studies in criminology show that attacks are less likely to occur if the assailants know they are being filmed.
• 2. Rescue. A quick touch of the SOS button alerts your Guardian Network that you need help, immediately sending live video, audio, and GPS location.
• 3. Evidence. Once activated, the G|B Defender streams live video, audio, and GPS location to your Guardian Network. This evidence can be downloaded and handed over to authorities to help incriminate and prosecute your assailant.

Though the G|B Defender is a heavyweight in technology, it's lightweight on your arm as you track your run. Like other smartwatches, the G|B Defender has reliable calling, camera, and fitness functions. With a sleek, streamlined design and easily interchangeable watchbands, the G|B Defender looks great counting your steps from the laundry room to the boardroom to the taproom. The G|B Defender comes in 3 color choices and is packaged with a backup quick-charge battery small enough to attach to your keychain. In addition, Guardian Band is partnering with name-brand designers to create a range of custom and limited edition watchband styles so you can change up your look as easily as you change your plans.

It's time to take control of your surroundings. It's time to feel empowered in your life. It's time for the G|B Defender.

ABOUT GUARDIAN BAND
The idea for the G|B Defender began on a treadmill at the gym. Lisa Geyer was sweating through her quasi-daily workout when the overhead TV caught her eye. Lisa recognized the woman being interviewed. It was a national news report about the dangers of rideshares. Lisa's friend had been assaulted. Her assailant was never identified.

Angry and frustrated, Lisa channeled her energy into looking for a solution. What resulted is the most powerful wearable safety device on the market today. Like Lisa says, "Never underestimate the power of an angry woman."

By partnering with non-profit organizations like A CALL TO MEN and NO MORE, Lisa and the rest of the Guardian Band team are working tirelessly to improve the worldwide culture of assault and violence.
