    I love the HEX Vision Metal band. The style is great and it turns my Nano into a "dressed up" watch.

    My Apple store's selection yesterday was limited to this band in both colors, the Hex leather band, and the iWatchz band in white. Another retailer reportedly had the IWatchz band in black. The gunmetal color ended up matching my Nano after I had it ghost armored. The employee helping me let me take it out of the box to look at it, and it fit perfectly out of the box (Hey, I have a normal sized body part, huzzah!).

    Band is nice looking, matches my Nano, and I like the clasp action on it. It holds the nano securely, but I can still get it out without too much effort if I want to use it with my belkin plastic strap for exercising. Extra links are nice a nice touch, but fortunately not needed. The nano's different watch faces gives me the option of almost having a different watch every day. And the band doesn't add significant weight, the whole combo seems so light as to be barely noticeable. It doesn't seem to be the heaviest or most durable watch band I've seen, but the one year warranty and the ability to keep my receipt in my email due to its purchase at the Apple Store provide adequate reassurances.

    I realize 3rd parties must pay an Apple tax, and need to make all the profits they can in case Apple suddenly decides to change the shape and functions of the Nano again. That said, it's a bit pricey for what you get, especially once you factor in the cost of the Nano itself. If the price was twenty or even ten dollars less, I would have given it five stars.

    HEX gunmetal. Great! No pin removal tool.

    Ive always liked metal watch bands because I find plastic ones break and leather ones start to smell after the sweat it collects.

    I really like the style of this band. It locks really well and there's no fear that it will unclip from regular use. The gunmetal looks really cool too.

    My only complaint is that it doesn't come with a tool to remove the rods when adding or removing links. My band came too small for my wrist and after much searching on the net, I learned that his style wrist band can have the pins pushed out. Not exactly an easy task. As long as you find a pin small enough to fit in the pin hole (used a threading needle), you can use a hammer to knock the pins out. Keep in mind, the arrows on the back of the band show the direction the pins need to be pushed out. After you do that, add or remove the links desired and reassemble. Beats having to visit and jewellery store.

    Overall, I'd recommend this wrist band if you like metal links. The Nano is easy to clip into the back plate and I don't notice any wiggle or movement once its in. Feels nice and secure. The controls and connector are easily accessible. Just be careful to lay it on its side when your not wearing it, the metal links may scratch the back of your Nano.

    Just bought this today and I put it on as soon as I could and people kept complementing me asking me where I got my watch from and who makes it, had to explain that it was my iPod and they wouldn't believe me. The construction is solid and comfortable and it doesn't weigh your wrist down. Use it with a screen protector and you're golden. The all-stainless steel construction is great as a dress watch but just as great as a casual watch and with the different watchfaces on the nano you can have a new watch whenever you want.

    AND, having extra links very useful.

    The craftsmanship of this band is unbelievable not to mention the gunmetal color is a head turner anywhere I go. People will definitely stop to ask you what kind of watch you are wearing and then seeing their faces when you tell them its an iPod Nano is priceless. Great buy at an even better price!

    Mindblowing watchband!

    The watch band is awesome. I have received countless complements for it. It totally converts your iPod Nano into an ubercool gadget.
    There are two things that I would like to convey to prospective buyers:
    1. Your iPod will be completely exposed because this watchband doesn't protect the screen.
    2. The Gun Metal color is beautiful in itself but it doesn't exactly match with any of the iPod colors. So people who look at it closely enough will come to know watchband and iPod are 2 different entities.

    Apart from this everything else is just perfect. If you are fine with the above two things.. then go ahead and buy this piece of art for your Nano.

    When it comes to Apple, I have seen nothing but top notch manufacturing. The fit and finish on their products are always perfect. I expected no less from the band the i purchased from thier site. I do realize that Apple did not manufacture this watchband however I am still a bit dissappointed.

    The Watchband does what it should it securely holds the iPod in place and it leaves easy access to the connections and buttons. However, the band felt cheap. Certainly not worth the $69 price tag. The band felt rough, un polished, and even has sharp edges that feel almost sharp. I really think the band needs to be replaced with a $20 band from target or walmart to feel more comfortable and even look better. The center piece that the Nano clips into does a great job at holding it securely as mentioned. But even it has fairly sharp edges on it that could scratch the iPods perfect aluminum finish.

    The band is of a very nice quality. I was extremely satisfied with this purchase. As other reviews have indicated, the clip-in, clip-out functionality is ideal and the i-pod fits snuggly. It definitely doesn't feel cheap by any means. My only issue with the watchband was how difficult it was to remove the pins in order to re-size it. Sure, this could be circumvented by going to a shop, but you can definitely do the work yourself. Just be prepared to spend some time on it. Other than that, no complaints. I can't wait to start wearing this on a daily basis and I will definitely be considering Hex for future purchases.
