It is priced at US$ $1,798 for both pistol ($1,399) and watch ($399). Armatix described in the official website that the pistol has several features such as electronic magazine disconnect, different operating modes, integrated grip and drop safety, color-coded operating mode - patented mechatronic and interface for additional applications (e.g. camera).[4]
