Apple ought to pay me for wearing a Nano watch

He'd rather swap batteries. Then again, I got that silly Fossil palm watch a long time ago, too I haven't used my Nano as a watch, however.

I'm curious to know this as well.

Probably a couple days. With light usage and screen timeout on I recharge maybe every week.

I prefer watches that I actually like to look at. That rules out 99% of them.

Hey AQ_QC, I noticed that you are using the black HEX Vision watch band, how does it look for every-day use over the silver color?

I'm looking into the black hex vision, along side maybe a british tan leather watch strap as well (though I'm hoping british tan isn't tacky).

For me, I like subdued colors, so the gun metal grey is right up my alley. The watch looks very nice...and i like that the screen isn't on all the time. A very distinctive look. The one think I would like is more watch faces...and not the mickey mouse kind. I'm super picky about watches and this is the only found i have that actually like. Sad that I had to get it from Apple, but those are the breaks.

They shouldn't have batteries. What are you talking about?

Thanks for the reply, will be looking into it a bit before making my final decision, also my bad on the AQ_QC, I didn't notice the O! .

OP - very sick watch/nano.. So can you change the face via an app or is it something built into the nano?

I have one aswell so I could use the Nike+ app. There are a couple differnet faces you can choose from on the nano, dont think there are any other options other than what comes on it.

There are about 18 clock faces. I only like 1 of 2. More are needed, IMO.

Hopefully the next Nano will run iOS (instead of the ancient Pixo OS) and have real support for apps and upgrades. I think Apple could make some serious scratch by selling new clock faces for 99c.

How would it run an iOS and apps designed for a 3.5" screen?

A modified interface for its form factor? The current Nano sports an interface that already resembles elements from iOS. I'm not holding my breath for full app store support, but even a "Games Store" like previous versions of the iPod had would be great.

I don't need my watch to run apps or even iOS, though I agree on the clock faces. Running apps is just going to drain the battery.
