I got my "iWatch today." Check it out

It looks pretty cool.
I just have one question about using the iPod Nano as a watch. You can't use it as an iPod if you're using it as a watch, can you? People won't be able to attach headphones to it while its on their wrist.
Do you just have to take it off the strap when you want to use it as an iPod?

Correct unless you've got an extension cable.

Even with an extension cable, wouldn't it be a little weird to have a cord running from your ears to your wrist?
I'm not trying to be a downer or bash the idea, I am genuinely curious as to how people are going to get real use out of it.

A real man would get a cable implanted next to his vein.

Why stop there? How about wire it through the arm and up the neck. Now that's really committing to an idea.

Yes if you're asking this question.

What makes it any more weirder then having cord going from your ears to your pocket?

Asians are always ahead of the style curve

LOL awesome. My girlfriends think I am more techy than hip. I think this nano watch would set it over the edge haha.

It is a little more weird since your arm sways when you are walking and thus the headphone to wrist thing would be strange in that sense. Not as out of the way and unobtrusive.

I guess just casually walking around with it while listening to music would be just a little weird but I was mostly looking at it as a perfect jogging/running player since I use my ipod touch and I just hold it in my hands anyways.

Actually the headphones that came with the Nano seem quite long. With the Nano on my wrist I can plug in the headphones and with my arm straight down to my side I have a bunch of extra length left.

And to another guy no its not bulky what so ever. Fits nice.

I would get this - but it might look weird on a tiny asian girl.. either look weird or look really hip. Who knows? Definitely cannot wear it to work!

You could wear it around your hip

You could almost certainly pull this off. It was (and maybe still is) quite fashionable for girls to wear men's watches. My girlfriend bought a vintage men's Rolex (primarily as an investment) a few years ago and rocked that and it looked quite cool. She bought a Toy Watch in similar style to the Rolex and continues to wear that to this day. Another girl I know wears a chunky Panerai every day.

Wow that is very interesting! Didn't even think of that!

haha Steve Jobs mentioned it during the live keynote when it was unveiled . Not exactly a new idea.

 

[ideal.dreams]

I love the idea of using it as a watch, but it seems too bulky for me. I don't like the squareness of it. Apple should invent a legit iWatch, it'd be sweet to have.
