Abstract
A walking aid with supplementary features that are communicatively coupled to an integrated timepiece. The combination of the timepiece's intelligent circuitry and memory storage can increase the functionality of the supplementary features integrated therein. The timepiece can also record the use of the supplementary features for later use by the user.
