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.

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.

 Love it!!! November 11, 2008
I love it!!! Works great and it is so nice to be able to skip to the next song or change the volume right at my wrist. No more twisting all around wasting energy trying to get to my ipod to change the song on my long runs. It's also great because I can use my nike+ arm band on one arm to keep track of my pace and distance and still use this to go through my music. I highly recommend it. :-)
love the ipod ironman November 2, 2008
I decided on this watch after reading many reviews to different watch brands. It was definitely the right decision for my lifestyle. The easy to read numbers are great for running and biking. Of course, the ipod feature is the reason I bought the watch. I have not had any problems with this which was a concern for me with new technology. I didn't have to do anything once I plugged up the adapter to my ipod it started working. I have been very careful not to push any buttons while in water thanks to previous advice from a reviewer. It was a little big for my taste at first but you get over it once you appreciate the extras for the price. Only advice would be the band could be a little shorter to fit the smaller wrist of a woman.
If I just waited a week. October 21, 2008
Timex has been a choice of mine since I was a kid watching all those crazy "takes a licking and keeps on ticking" tests.. Through the years they have always worked as advertised. I purchased a week too soon though, they are giving away hats with the watches now. It has helped me with my running /lap timing. I am very satisfied with my watch and will use it for the reason I bought it on NOV. 2 in the ING NYC Marathon.
 Does what it is suppose to, But feels CHEAP! October 3, 2008
I purchased this product only 2 days ago and I have already sent it back. I was excited to get it at first, what a connivence to be able to change my ipod touch without unlocking the screen. But when I slipped it on my wrist, the first thing I noticed is that its small... I mean this model should be listed as a FEMALE watch, not unisex. Past that I was willing to keep it and try it out. I clicked the buttons and it did change the song, but it felt like the cheapest plastic toy. I was afraid that just by clicking to change songs, it would break. I think that this watch is poor quality, It was nothing like IRON MAN TIMEX I was trying to replace. I do not recommend buying this, unless you plan on getting a new one ever other month.
Perfect for Runners September 22, 2008
Here's what we like:
It's a Midsize Unisex fit, so both my wife and I ordered black watches. Perfect fit on me. On hers, the face is just a bit big (but OK) and the band comes all the way back around to just below the triangular opening on the band (see the picture), but the excellent built-in strap 'hold-down' keeps it from poking out and looking ridiculous. Very comfortable, lightweight, and "sweat-proof" design.
iControl Works as Advertised, so we can control the separate iPods without reaching down and fumbling around. Just plug in the dongle and go. Response is reliable. This is the main reason we purchased, as the fumbling was becoming too much of a distraction.
No Cross-Talk between units. Very important if you are going to be running together. I actually called Timex to verify this before purchasing.
Additional features, i.e. stopwatch and splits, intervals, alarms, timers, etc. Standard Ironman features, well thought out for the athlete. Waterproof.
What could be improved:
Tactile feel and size of buttons - While the buttons are large enough to be found with bare fingertips, we're wondering about gloved fingers in the winter. Maybe not.
IndiGlo button could be more prominently placed (we often run at night).
Conclusion: At the 50-60 dollar price point, worth every penny. At the 125 MSRP, maybe not so much.
Update -- Design flaw discovered: The INDIGLO "Night Mode" feature does not appear to function correctly on ANY of these iControl watches. This feature (described on page 8 of the owner's manual) allows you to press and hold the INDIGLO button for 4 seconds to activate the Night Mode, after which the press of ANY other button will illuminate the face for four seconds -- a nice feature for night running, and a feature that is found on most of the Ironman INDIGLOs. Unfortunately, while the mode does indeed activate on these iControl watches, it doesn't work correctly, as only three buttons are activated for illumination when depressed (bad), and the duration of the illumination is only for the actual time that you depress the button (very bad). Especially because a prolonged press on the center Play/Pause button will . . . uumm . . . play/pause the iPod, this is not practical, rendering the Night Mode virtually useless. I experienced the exact same flaw with both of the watches that I purchased, as did the rep at Timex with a test watch when I called to report the problem. While he acknowledged the problem ("first time anyone's ever reported this since the watch was released") and indicated that he will "send it up" and get back to me, I'm not holding my breath. Still a good watch, but a disappointing design flaw.
