 - Makes my life easierI'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! 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! 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. Needless to say I am very pleased with the watch and will recommend it to my friends. Rating: - Son is so happyMy 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. Great price $49.99 this was a home run as a gift. Rating:  - Dubious valueI 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. (That, and this might be the ugliest watch I've ever seen. I'd be very self-conscious wearing this in public.) Rating: - Such a time saverI would highly recommend this watch for anyone that has a compatible iPod. 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. The only thing I could ask for is that the next and back track buttons work for forward and reverse as well. 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.
