Reviews for HEX Vision Metal Watchband for iPod nano (6th Gen.)

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.
