Cool Halloween Wearables:

James Bond

While you might not be able to afford James Bond’s latest Aston Marten, there are still a number of cool gadgets out there that you can add to your costume. For example, you CAN simulate James Bond’s handy spywatch with your Apple Watch, or any other smartwatch that you can use to answer emails, phone calls, and much more…though you may not be able to detonate a building. You can also use any type of wireless earbud in such as Earin in place of James Bond’s communicative earpiece.
