iWatchz looks great with an iPod nano, but is a pain to use

iWatchz (http://www.iwatchz.com/collections/vintage-collection)’s US$79.95 Vintage leather iPod nano watch band is gorgeous, but it’s a pain to use.

You can use the Vintage to turn your iPod into a nano watch. The offer bands offer stainless steel buckles and hardware with quick release pins for interchangeable band. My problem: the quick release pins don’t release quickly. In fact, I often have to use my knife to prod the pin to open.

That’s my only complaint with the Vintage, but it’s a major one. Otherwise, the leather band offers easy access to all iPod buttons and connectors, and will fit wrist sizes from 6.5 inches to 8.25 inches.

The Vintage Collection nano watch bands are certainly eye-catching. They feature soft-touch, aged-leather. Three color choices are available: black, dark brown and light brown.
