It might be a nice accessory if you use a high capacity IPod (Classic, Video, etc.) and don't have immediate access to its controls. However, this product essentially provides a remote forward/back/pause control for IPods...and a watch/timer. For the same money (currently on sale for <$50 at Amazon), you could buy an actual IPod (Shuffle) and clip the device within easy reach, thereby mitigating the need for yet another device (or, in this case, two devices since you need both the watch and the adapter to control an IPod). If this watch offered something significant in the way of added value or functionality (say, a heartbeat monitor...which the description implies, but is NOT included), then I'd be more impressed. As it is, it just adds another layer of complexity to a device that doesn't need it.

Just attach the transmitter to the ipod and your set to go. 5 stars The following review received 9 helpful votes out of 10 total votes: Review Date: 2008-02-16 "Such a time saver" I would highly recommend this watch for anyone that has a compatible iPod.

I have the ipod 160 and it was not included in the products that this unit works with but it works perfectly! This is one of the coolest gadgets I own. I can work out, switch songs, adjust the volume all by touching my wrist. When my hands are sweaty from working out really hard, I don't have to touch the ipod wheel at all, therefore my ipod stays clean and pristine! I use this at the gym, running, biking and skiing. It is so, so cool! The following review received 3 helpful votes out of 3 total votes: Review Date: 2008-01-02 "Great watch!!" I compete in Tri's and train hard and this watch has all the features I need. The icontrol works perfect with all ipods. My video nano was not listed on the site or anywhere but it works great, about 10 feet of range. A sweet touch is a locking strap holder, (the little thing the the excess of the wrist band tucks into). It locks for a nice touch no moving around when swimming. The watch is easy to use for intervals, chrono, lap, recall and has multiple alarm settings. Looks cool too and is fairly low profile. The indiglo light up the numbers rather than the face so the display is great. For the price it is a steal. 5 stars | |
