Mutewatch Is Every Geek's Dream Watch

May 23, 2011/ Nir Schneider

I said it time and time again, I love Swedish companies. There is something so innovative about every single product coming out of Sweden it's just unbelievable. The Swedish watch brand, Mutewatch, has created the most amazing touch screen watch you've ever seen. It's the geekiest watch ever made. Forget the iWatch iPod nano 6G basicness, the Mutewatch come to us straight from the future and features a vibration alarm clock that will vibrate depending on your preference without making a noise and alarming others. Brilliant isn't it? That's not all, the Mutewatch is designed to display the capacitive touch screen display when you touch the flat surface which then lights up the glowing touch screen that displays the time to you using a white LED surface. To change and set up an alarm or the time itself, you simply swipe, pinch and tap.

The Mutewatch also has a built-in motion sensor that will turn on the glowing display with just a flick of the wrist and it will also sense your sleeping so that it can increase the level of vibration if you set an alarm. The Mutewatch is available to order right now in white, red and gray for $249, and it will start shipping in July. Check out the video after the break.

We've seen many companies jump on the idea of transforming the iPod nano 6G into a wearable watch, but things are just getting bigger and bigger when MINIMAL, a design company is starting to take things to a whole new level. Meet the TikTok and LunaTik Multi-Touch watch kits made to house the iPod nano and use it as a Multi-Touch wrist watch. The LunaTik seen above, houses the iPod nano in a CNC'd aluminum housing and features a silicone rubber wrist band with solid stainless steel. Now these are not some cheaply made watch kits, these are the best of the best and are priced at $69.95.

You can also go with the cheaper and more simple TikTok Multi-Touch watch kit that has a snap-in design. It let's you securely dock your iPod nano inside. The TikTok does not have any aluminum parts and will retail for $34.95. MINIMAL, the company behind these are planning to start shipping the TikTok model by late December and the LunaTik by mid-January.

Incipio Takes iWatch Into A Whole New Level With Linq

September 13, 2010/ Nir Schneider

Now this is more like it! This is new Linq by Incipio. This great looking strap incases the iPod nano 6G into Incipio's Next Generation Polymer material housing for maximum comfort and durability. The nylon strap secures by velcro and is interchangeable. This probably won't be the last strap/case combination for the iPod nano 6G we will see, as more and more companies begin making accessories for the iPod nano. Incipio really stepped up the game with their Linq, now I actually want me a nano! The Linq will be available five colors. No price or available date announced as of yet.

Update: Incipio has announced that the Linq is expected to be available starting early October for $24.99 and $9.99 for each additional nylon band.

Transform Your iPod Nano Into An iWatch

September 10, 2010/ Nir Schneider

We all knew this would be the most popular thing to do with your new iPod nano when Steve Jobs said it could be worn as a wrist watch. If you didn't already know, you can set the lock screen as a watch on the new iPod nano and clip it onto a watch strap to have your very own geeky squared iWatch. All you need is a piece of watch strap like the one seen above for $17 or you can try eBay for cheaper options.
