iPod iPod nano as watch, who would do it ? :)

wait that just blew my mind for one main reason:

The bluetooth.

I think there could be a market for bluetooth phone wristwatches.

How neat is that? You just walk around... with a watch and a small low key bluetooth headset or even bluetooth stereo music. 3g browsing? Laser beam?
 
If they'd make a wristband or armband like this, I would buy it immediately!

This time the iWatch is a real possibility! Now someone just make the accessoire for this iPod Nano! :D

^ That I would consider. I have a Tag so it's hard to say but if someone comes up with a band that works well with the Nano then yeah, I'll rock it.

Throw in a pulse sensor too. lol Rounds out the health apps. :D

It's hard to believe that someone who wears a Tag would even think about wearing an iPod nano on their wrist.
 
The latest iPod nano improved the shuffle form factor, but got stripped away with some of its previous features.

But the biggest attraction to this year's iPod nano is it is wearable now. Not only as a watch, but as a pendant around your neck. You could do the same back in the iPod mini days with a lanyard, but this is far more portable and lighter now. If there is an accessory with enough solid protection for it, I might even have this nano form factor to be used as a keychain. Just wished Apple dropped the entry price to $99 if they were going to take away some features and didn't give it a memory bump. It really is the shuffle with a touchscreen at heart.
 
I'm way too hard on my watches. The only one I've had that actually lasts is a G-Shock. I'd hate to spend hundreds of bucks on a nano and have the screen shattered in a day or two.

Is this real or photoshoped?
I want one!!!
 
I've designed a strap for the Nano, and been wearing it the last few days. I dont think there is any more risk of smashing the screen than any other large face watch.

I would apprieciate any feedback on my design.

Not trying to offend you but your straps look like a sewing class project to me.

I would never spend £15 on a strap with buttons when I can easily purchase a much more durable (and time proven) Nato style strap for 1/2 the price.

Straps are a dime a dozen! What I think it's really going to take is for someone to come up with an integrated case for the Nano similar to a couple of the concepts pictured earlier in this thread. My guess is it's only a matter of time.
 
im thinking the cord would get in the way. I know you can take it off your wrist, but then again, why would you want a watch you need to take off?

I guess it could have Bluetooth and you use wireless headphones...or even have it wireless control you ipod touch or iphone ipod app, that would be kewl.

Yeah, they announced now the price:
The Linq™ is expected to release towards the beginning of October for $24.99. Additional watchbands may be purchased for $9.99 each.http://www.myincipio.com/linq?meta=NEWSLETTER&cpg=11316&cpn=43836053

There is also the Lovehandle leather strap also but no casing around for $20:

There is also a NATO style strap for $18:

I am just waiting for threads about how people destroyed their iPod Nanos with water damage because they washed their hands with out taking it off.
 
i would definitely do it if there was bluetooth involved. i can't imagine running a cord down to my wrist. although washing my hands would make me a little more nervous than with my crappy seiko.
 
I would do it for running. As someone else mentioned, run the headphone cords into your shirt and out your sleeve. He said he did it that way with the older candybar nano in a marware wrist strap.

But depending on how well the incipio does it, the big factor is protecting the corners. I whack my watch and sometimes my wrists too often going through a doorway or on the knob of an open door. Don't want to take off my watch everytime I want to wash my hands. Etc.

Make sure you leave access to the volume buttons, sleep wake, and headphone and dock ports.
