Timex iControl

There’s finally a piece of good news for the fitness fanatics who are also music lovers. Before any details are mentioned, you should also know that the iControl strap that comes with the Timex watch makes sure it stays on firmly. Other features include the Chrono to time your runs and the interval timer to time your run at certain paces. Don’t worry about sweat running your watch because it is resistant of up to 100 meters. It’s simply the perfect companion.

The most amazing feature yet is the dongle that allows you to remotely control your iPod of up to 10 feet away. Even when you’re not on the run, you can still listen to music while your gadget is safely tucked elsewhere. To set everything in place, just plug in a little dongle and it then connects via low-frequency radio waves. Plug the connection into your pod’s dock hole and press a button on the watch to start the communication. Moreover, the watch itself is lightweight so that it is able to rest comfortably on your wrist. The controls on it are very basic and well labeled. You can play and pause a song, adjust the volume, and skip through tracks without having to constantly look at your watch.

The watch also allows you to keep track of a 50 lap chronograph, countdown time, interval timers, Indiglo light, and all the other features that Timex is known for. For those who love their iPods and are into running, this makes a great and useful purchase.
