I know some publication named Bond's watch from LALD as his top gadget.

I myself have never been into gadgets, but I dig the briefcase in FRWL. The ring in DAD is cool as well.

How come Jinx never got any gadgets?

I agree with you the Rolex Watch in "LALD" was great . Jinx gadgets were located between her legs.

I always get into the car gadgets for the Bond movies. I love the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish in DAD the most. But close in second is the Lotus Espirit in TSWLM. Honorable mention goes to Aston martin DB5 in GF.

Strange that you would give the Aston-Martin DB5 honorable mention . Most people would place it higher. I like Aston Martin , felt that the car in "The Living Daylight" was better.

The Aston Martin in TLD was awesome, and probably was better, gadget-wise, than the DB5. But the DB5 had the perfect combination of style and gadgetry. But I love that Lotus in TSWLM.

In the case of the DB5 . Broccoli want a DB4 zagato , but Aston Martin was having trouble keeping up with production . So they just go the DB5 . The Lotus was a great Bond car , which was used very well in TSWLM.

Mention "James Bond" to anyone and the image of an Aston Martin DB5 appears. I believe this is the ultimate gadget - appeared in GF, TB, and briefly in GE and TND.

The nerve impulse wrist dart gun from Moonraker was the one of the coolest gadgets ever. It saved Bond's life a couple times during the movie. Other memorable gadgets are the Aston Martin DB5 from GF, Little Nellie from YOLT, the Lotus Esprit from TSWLM, the watch from LALD and the briefcase from FRWL.

The best car is so totaly the Vantage V8 from TLD. (Hence the signature).

Best overall gadget? That's a toughy...

Maybe the dentonite toothpaste. Just for fun value.

Ritz is correct - if you think James Bond, you think
Aston Martin DB5...Bond's best gadget. (However,
the DBS in OHMSS is a far more beautiful car.)

Bond aside, the most practical and most interesting
gadget in the entire series is Scaramanga's golden gun.
That thing is just so cool. Unfortunately, the film
didn't do it justice. When we see Scaramanga assembling
the gun, we barely see Scaramanga assembling the gun.

I am, for some reason, partial to the key ring finder from The Living Daylights and the mobile phone from Tomorrow Never Dies.

And Jinx did have gadgets in Die Another Day. She used a mobile phone similar to Bond's from Tomorrow Never Dies to detonate the bomb in Dr. Alverez's office in Cuba.
