Reviews for iWatchz Q Series watchband for iPod nano

Got this yesterday ...
Straightforward easy installation. Clip & unclip...
The strap is super soft..very nice.

The bad part is that you will need a dremel tool to smooth out the plastic part that holds the Nano. ALL the corners and ALL the edges and joints were super sharp.
I spent 15 minutes with the tool..and just polished it.

Imho..the nano and all apple products have ultimate fit & finish. So out of the box this is not on spec with what apple pumps out quality wise.

The design comes right from Bell & Ross..to my eyes at least.
Make a special edition ..aluminium holder..same bracelet....and don't forget to polish the edges.

For the first few months I had this watchband, it worked perfectly. But there's a huge problem with the design; the rubber straps of the band are secured to the plastic iPod mount by metal pins. The mount can, for some reason, be disconnected from the straps by sliding small metal nubs to the side, pulling one end of the metal pin out of its plastic mount attachment. This makes it easy to fix if one of the straps comes off, but one of the nubs is right next to the headphone socket. Pulling out headphones pulls on the iPod in such a way that it disconnects the strap from the mount EVERY TIME the headphones are pulled out, causing the watchband to FALL OFF of the wearer's wrist. This watchband wore out where the metal pin connects to the plastic mount, so the iPod is constantly falling off now. Very annoying.

The problem with it is the base is made of plastic. I bumped my wrist into a locker door and the base cracked in half. In retrospect, looking at the design, because of the way the nano clips in (which is the right way and very secure) the plastic base has a significant weak point. If the base was steel it would be a lot better.

I purchased this item about 2 weeks ago. At first, it was pretty great. Looks cool.

Within a week, the strap broke when trying to take it off my arm. Pretty flimsy and cheap.

Although I suggest either getting the leather one (50$) which is way overpriced, or nothing at all.

I like the idea but beware, this watch strap is VERY short. The ends do not even meet when I try to place it around my wrist.

the rubber band is weak, the part that wraps around the pin broke right away after normal use. as much as i'd like to replace it, i may have to look for a more durable watchband, maybe leather instead of this rubber.

I know some of the reviews have said that this might not be a good product for women because of it's size. But ladies, if you like "boyfriend" sized watches, which are trendy right now, you will love this. I have very petite wrists and the iPod width fits just fine. The band also has enough adjustment holes that it doesn't slide around on my arm. I've received many compliments on it and use it everyday.

The first few days I wore this, I really like it and thought I was getting a lot out of a combo wristwatch/iPod concept. But, using it for jogging, treadmill and weightlifting (while wearing headphones) quickly became irritating, as the headphone wire constantly bounces and flings, as I was moving.

When the day comes that the iPod is Blutooth connected with headphones, I think this concept will be awesome. Until then, I can't recommend the iWatchz Q Series.

Don't buy this product if you value your nano. I lost my nano within a week of purchasing the product. The strap looks good, you feel cool about it, et all, but the hinges are so badly designed that the strap may come loose with slight impact, and you may never notice it, since the nano and the strap are so light. Not sure if there is another strap in the market that is sturdier, but just don't buy this one.

I recently purchased a new iPod Nano (6th gen) and was concerned with its ability to grip my clothing while out for a run. I now have a newfound piece-of-mind using the watchband. It does not limit the functionality of my iPod Nano, and I can manipulate it easier now that it is on a fixed surface. I was also able to attach the Nike+ Run Kit reciever, next to my headphones with ease, and it does not feel bulky. Reguarding design, Apple is genius level when it comes to form, functionality, and aesthetics.
