Reminds me of the Bruce Sterling novel, "Heavy Weather" where the bad guys that work for the government have Rolex-like watches that have explosives in them permanently clamped to their wrists. In the novel, when a force 6 storm goes through, they hang out in a bunker and one by one try to remove the watch/bomb so that they can then be free of coercion and also, untrackable in the future.
