Rarely works as IPod control 
2008-07-21
If you just want a running watch, this is fine. If you actually expect it to control your IPod while running, forget about it. I strap my IPod to my arm and wear the Timex IControl on my other wrist. I make sure it is on, then start running. I'd say I can actually control the volume on my IPod or go to the next/previous song using this device about 1% of the time. The other 99% of the time nothing happens when I push the appropriate buttons. It has been very frustrating. I don't use it anymore and would definitely recommend against this item as an IPod control.
An excellent Techno-Geek item

This is an excellent item for the ipod. I'm using this with the 80GB classic and it works like a charm. The range is great and I haven't had any glitches, lack of reception or radio interference.
Keep in mind that the receiver is powered by the ipod, so when not in use, you'll want to remover the receiver so you don't drain your battery. It doesn't make a significant impact on play time when in use, but you will see your power drop if you just let it site for hours at a time.
All in all, a great product.
Plus the watch works well in that respect as well. It's easy to read, super bright when you need the light, and the alarm will actually wake me up. It's also sealed to 328 feet, so you don't have to worry about the weather or diving. Just don't use the buttons underwater.
I love that I don't have to worry about my ipod getting wet when roaming the streets of Seattle anymore. Keeping it in a jacket pocket or slot in my bag while controlling it via the watch works perfectly. I'd definitely recommend this.
