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.
Timex Brand
The Timex Watch Company
Timex Group B.V. is one of the best-known American watch companies. Timex's U.S. headquarters are located in Middlebury Connecticut and it has substantial operations in China, the Philippines and India and full scale sales companies in Canada, the UK, France and Mexico.
The company began in 1854 as Waterbury Clock in Connecticut's Naugatuck Valley, known during the nineteenth century as the "Switzerland of America." Sister company Waterbury Watch manufactured the first inexpensive mechanical pocket watch in 1880. During World War I, Waterbury began making wristwatches, which had only just become popular, and in 1933 it made history by creating the first Mickey Mouse clock under license from Walt Disney, with Mickey's hands pointing the time.
During World War II, Waterbury renamed itself U.S. Time Company. In 1950 the company introduced a wristwatch called the Timex. Over the next three decades, Timex was sold through a series of advertisements which emphasized its durability by putting the watch through "torture tests," such as falling over the Grand Coulee Dam or being strapped to the propeller of an outboard motor, with the slogan "It takes a licking and keeps on ticking." With the help of former Olympic broadcaster, spokesman John Cameron Swayze, sales took off. The company later became Timex Corporation, then Timex Group and, to date, has sold over one billion watches.
The company has remained very competitive and the Timex brand continues its dominance through present day. Its primary market remains the United States and Canada, although the Timex brand is sold worldwide due to its ability to capitalize on its strong brand image and reputation for quality.
One of the most successful and important features available on many Timex watches is the Indiglo backlight system. Indiglo is a brand name of Indiglo Corporation, solely owned by Timex for licensing purposes. Timex electroluminescent lamps, branded Indiglo, were introduced in 1992 in the Ironman watch line. They were an immediate success. The Indiglo® lamp uniformly lights the surface of the Timex’s watch dials in a manner that makes the dial read very easily in many different light settings. In some newer watches the Indiglo backlight only lights up the numbers, rather than the entire LCD display, which is achieved by means of a specialized film that inverts the LCD transmissivity.
Today, Timex Group products are manufactured in the Far East and in Switzerland often based on technology that continues to be developed in the United States and in Germany. With a large and varied line of watches, Timex has the style for everyone. From the locker room to the board room, there is a great Timex style time-piece for you.

Customer Reviews
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.
TOTALLY TIMELY AND AWESOME!
I have the ipod 160 and it was not included in the products that this unit works with but it works perfectly! This is one of the coolest gadgets I own. I can work out, switch songs, adjust the volume all by touching my wrist. When my hands are sweaty from working out really hard, I don't have to touch the ipod wheel at all, therefore my ipod stays clean and pristine! I use this at the gym, running, biking and skiing. It is so, so cool!
The only thing that would make this better is if there was a way ON the watch to see what song is playing.
Great watch!!
I compete in Tri's and train hard and this watch has all the features I need. The icontrol works perfect with all ipods. My video nano was not listed on the site or anywhere but it works great, about 10 feet of range. A sweet touch is a locking strap holder, (the little thing the the excess of the wrist band tucks into). It locks for a nice touch no moving around when swimming. The watch is easy to use for intervals, chrono, lap, recall and has multiple alarm settings. Looks cool too and is fairly low profile. The indiglo light up the numbers rather than the face so the display is great. For the price it is a steal.
