Is that frequency something you can control or measure? Do you agree on a shared "let's meet" frequency you set it to, and if the other happens to have it set to that as well, you end up meeting? Or is it more of a random chance thing, like running into each other in places you both frequent at coincidentally matching times and deciding it must be the bracelets' doing?

Or am I falling for a joke?

I think they mean a watch

I wasn't entirely sure if that's what they mean, but I considered the possibility. I opted to give a serious response just in case, accepting the possibility I'd be wooooshed.

I did.

I wasn't trying to add on to any whooshing, just trying to help

I don't really know, I only know the basics of how to use it. But twice a year when the planet reaches a certain position in the solar system, you have to calibrate it 1/24th of an earth rotation, and then do it again after a certain time. I don't understand why, but everyone is doing it. The crystal draws energy from a silver pendant the size of a coin.
