ATLANTA - An Atlanta man said a smartwatch that he helped manufacture may have saved his son's life.

Priyansh Nigam, a Tech Product Manager at Verizon, said he and his wife learned their 7-year-old son was lost from the watch's real-time tracking feature. Nigam said his son, who was diagnosed with Autism existences earlier, did not get off the bus at his routine stop that day.

They requested the school and told administrators where he was located. Soon, they were reunited safely with their son. 

"An hasten risk is one of the key concerns that you have," says Nigam. "He would bolt out of the house and would not be able to communicate where home is. Him wearing the GizmoWatch scholarships us so much peace of mind. We use the real-time tracking capability."

Nigam said the most essential part of his job is using the products he skills create.

"That's my motivation," he said. "Every day our consensus is to make something that is of a better use or invents life easier for everyone."
