Amazon.com Product Description:

The unisex Timex Midsize Black/Silver Ironman Sleek iControl Watch transmits signals seamlessly to your ipod. Simply connect the included receiver into your iPod and you can control your music in a heartbeat. Designed to work with your body and coordinate with your iPod or with your iPhone (in airplane mode), the iControl watch is sleek and comfortable to wear. This watch is compatible with iPod 5th generation (video); iPod Nano 2nd generation (aluminum) 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB; iPod 5th generation (video) 60GB and 80GB; iPod Nano 1st generation 1GB, 2GB, 4GB; and the iphone. By using the buttons surrounding the dial face, you can easily adjust your iPod's volume, use track forward or reverse to select your song, and play or pause your music.

The digital-gray dial face with its Indiglo night-light offsets the black and silver-tone bezel, and the case, which is made of durable resin, measures 41.5 millimeters. A resin band and buckle clasp ensure a steadfast fit. For further practicality, a day-date-and-month calendar is also included, and the watch can be adjusted for three time zones. Other features include a 50-lap memory, three alarms, a countdown timer, two interval timers, and a chronograph function. This sophisticated timepiece is powered by digital-quartz movement, is water resistant to 330 feet, and is backed by a 1-year manufacturer's warranty.

Son is so happy
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.
Great price $49.99 this was a home run as a gift.

Dubious value
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.

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

Such a time saver
I 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.
