iPod Nano… as a watch!

I recently purchased an iPod Nano 6th generation, to try and hack to get unsigned code running etc. Although the iPad Nano is lacking many features, it works brilliantly as an iPod, but not much else.

However, people have found another use for it! Using it as a watch! It might sound stupid, having an iPod Nano strapped to your wrist all day, especially since it’s not waterproof.

I saw people using the iPod Nano as a watch on Twitter, so I decided to give it a go. Guess what? It works surprisingly well!

I’ll attach some images at the end of this article.

I’m using a NATO watch strap, which is based upon the British Ministry of Defence standard issue (G10) strap. It’s an extremely strong watch strap, made out of Nylon and Stainless Steel.

All in all, I think that using the iPod Nano as a watch is extremely feasible! Especially if you’re an Apple fanboy like myself.

You can buy the watch strap I’m using (although in a different colour) here: Regimental NATO Strap
