I would highly recommend this watch for anyone that has a compatible iPod.
br /This watch is great. It saves so much time (no pun intended) when using the iPod touch. Now I don't have to hit the home button, unlock the screen and then press pause to stop what I am listening to. Just a simple press of the play/pause button on the watch does it. The RF design makes for great battery life compared to bluetooth devices I have used to do the same thing.
br /The only thing I could ask for is that the next and back track buttons work for forward and reverse as well.
br /The design of the wrist band seems perfect. The fit on my wrist is one of the best I have ever had, and I have a lot of watches. And the way it is designed there is a lot of airflow so your wrist does not get too warm. This also makes for a light weight band.

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!
br /The only thing that would make this better is if there was a way ON the watch to see what song is playing.

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.

This watch is what you would expect when you combine Apple and Timex technologies. Both are leaders in their respective fields and they came together in fine fashion for this watch. I have a 2nd Gen Nano and an iTouch. This works with both.

I'm a runner and I listen to my Ipod usually when I run. 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!
br /
br /The other feature it has that works wonderfully for me is the multiple alarms. I set one for when I want to wake up the second to let me know when I have 15 minutes before I will be late and the third to let me know, I'm late!
br /
br /The numbers and letters are very easy to read and I love the Indiglo face. Just the numbers glow and not the entire face. Nice touch.
br /
br /Needless to say I am very pleased with the watch and will recommend it to my friends.

iPod control works perfectly controls both 1st and 3nd generation iPod Touch. Great for in a car when I have to use aux jack to connect to the stereo mush easier to pause and play music with the watch then on the ipod touch itself.
this sportswatch=ok

I bought this watch to monitor my physical condition in the first place. I was espacially interested in this type of watch because of the iPod-controls. It proved te be a very handy sportswatch. The iPod-controls I have not used them too much until now, but when I tried it worked well. Especially on the streets where handling an iPod may atract thieves it is very handy to control your iPod without having the device itself within sight of others.
Works perfectly

The watch is unassuming, light, and functional, while the buttons are both unobtrusive and easy to use. It is a perfect addition to any ipod, but ipod touch users will specifically benefit. Without such a remote, the unwieldy process of divesting it from your pocket, jumping though the hoops to unlock it, then returning it to its protection is a process ripe for accidents and frustration. It is compatible with the ipod touch as of the 1.1.4 firmware. Whether 2.0 supports it remains to be seen, and there are concerns about battery life both for the watch and the ipod.

br /I would, however, highly recommend buying this watch, as it is not only convenient, but also painfully cool.

My 14 year old son loved this from the start. 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.
br /Great price $49.99 this was a home run as a gift.

Works right out of the box. Just attach the transmitter to the ipod and your set to go.

I saw a demo of this watch recently and I am hard-pressed to understand its value. 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.

br /(That, and this might be the ugliest watch I've ever seen. I'd be very self-conscious wearing this in public.)
