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.

Once he set it up to his Ipod, that was easy. He was seeing how far away he could get and still have it work, if he could turn it on if he left it in the car and he could. He called his best friend to tell him about the watch. When his dad got home he ask him to look at his Ipod now watch this. He keep turning it off and on and the sound up and down. He told me this was the second best gift he had got. I think the Ipod would be the first.

When I saw the feature of this watch that I could make changes to my Ipod while running and not have to stop anymore I jumped at the oportunity. It works great! | |
