Re: [Apple iPod] Timex Watch

I got one at about 40% off (would never have bought it at full price)
just before Christmas, just used it on a x-country plane trip and a
coastal road trip, worked great in the car and from my pocket on the
plane. Looking forward to using it at work for the discrete podcast
listen thru a single earbud. Not that anyone cares it's just a lot of
fumbling to hit pause once someone has walked in and started a
conversation with you. Distance is advertised at 10' but it seems to
do twice that in the conditions I've tried.

Only negative I have is the receiver takes up the bottom adapter which
means you cannot use a regular dock, PocketDock or probably some FM
transmitters. Would have been nice if they could have designed a more
flush adapter that passed through to another adapter port allowing for
access to the iPod's outputs and for charging. The little receiver
does draw some power off of the iPod and I'm not sure what the watch
battery life will be like since it's the transmitter, however with
just four screws it will be easy to change out that battery when the
time comes.

It only does volume up/down, play/pause and forward/reverse so if you
use playlists or like podcasts/audiobooks it works fine after you've
made your initial selection from the screen. I would say it would be a
must have for anyone who works out with an iPod and has the extra cash
for it.

The watch is fine too, highly adjustable airy band, good button
layout, nice big digits and all the usual Timex Ironman features and
functions to choose from.
