The other day I went to the Apple store to check out the new Iphone 4S with a friend. He was more interested in looking at the new nanos.  Those things are tiny. I had never really looked at them before.  The Iphone 4S demo station was filled with people trying to figure out how to work Siri, so I decided to wander over to the nano section with him. He brought me over to the incredibly small machines. They are less than 2″ square–the perfect size for a watch face–someone discovered. My friend wanted to buy a nano to turn it into a watch–a pretty cool idea, which was “kickstarted” by Scott Wilson, founder of MINIMAL and former Global Creative Director for Nike Watches. Wilson actually raised almost a million dollars to launch his idea.  The bands, which hold the nano into place as a watch, range from $40-$100. The actual iPod nano starts at $129. The entire cost is pretty reasonable for a multi-function watch.

With 18 different clock face designs, you have a lot of different options to choose from. My friend almost bought the nano and the Lunatik wrist band, but ultimately decided not to, because there wasn’t a calendar app on the nano. Good point. As soon as they add the calendar,  I’ll definitely get one. Perfection…especially in pink.
