Amazing

I was surprised to find just how useful this Ipod adapter was during my morning run or just doing other tasks which required my Ipod to be tucked away.

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.

Pretty good but could be better

Pros: Reverse indiglo, remote control feature, sleek look, fuctions are sports-friendly, practical for when an ipod is out of reach
Cons: "Mid-size" description gave me the impression it was going to be bigger than it actually is
It would have deserved a 5-star rating if the remote control feature did more than just volume control and move through playlists

Timex Ironman

Bought this because it was cheaper thn getting another heart rate monitor.It works well and it makes running or biking easier.
However it seemed to take more battery power from the i-pod.It soon lost its gimic magic and I have gone back to the heart rate monitor.However,I will give it another chance.
