And here's the biggest problem: you can't just glance at your wrist and check the time! The screen is completely dark when it's asleep, so you have to reach over and hit the wake button with your other hand to see the time, and worst of all, hitting the wake button doesn't light the screen up instantly - there's a significant and noticeable delay of over half a second before the clock is displayed. Turns out you're going to be a dork with an iPod on your wrist no matter what, because displaying the time when the wake switch is pressed is pretty much the only watch-type function you're going to find here beyond the stopwatch and timer. You also get a choice between white and black clock face backgrounds, and. Without this setting flipped on, you're just a dork with an iPod on your wrist. Next, head into Settings / Date & Time and turn on "Time On Wake," which pops open the clockface when you hit the wake button instead of dropping you right into the homescreen. Of course, it's a bit huge - we tend to favor large watches, so we didn't think it was a problem, but if you have dainty wrists it might look a little silly. We didn't have any problems, though - the nano's clip is definitely strong enough to survive normal use. Just make sure you can tighten things down so the nano doesn't slide around - the white band we used didn't have any adjustments so the nano felt a bit precarious. That's actually pretty easy - not only are there a million accessory manufacturers out there willing to sell you a nano-specific band, you can also clip it onto pretty much any bigger watchband you can find. But hold up - yes, we thought the new nano was a great little media player when we first reviewed it, but why hasn't anyone talked about what it's like to wear one as your watch? Is replacing your current timepiece with the nano's 1.5-inch 240 x 240 multitouch display actually a good idea? We took the nerd-bullet for you and wore one for a week to find out - read on!įirst things first: you've got to get the nano on a band. Not a great design IMO.IPod nano watchbands - they're everywhere! Seriously, ever since Steve Jobs said that an unnamed Apple board member jokingly planned to wear the new nano as a watch, we've seen all shapes and sizes of wristbands designed to put the diminutive media player on your wrist, ranging from the super-basic to the super-silly to the super-amazing. I also broke the watch attachment- its IMPOSSIBLE to remove the device from the watch attachment to charge it. I'd take that over annoying BT pairing requests. Unfortunately the battery now seems to drain really quickly and only a day's worth happens now.

In consideration of how under-developed third generation smart watches are now, I'm more forgiving of the liveviewSecond UPDATE: Now with the Galaxy Note II getting Android 4.3 the liveview connects by pressing the connect button without having the go on the phone and accept the Bluetooth pairing request- this is HUGE and much appreciated. For regular price? I'd return it in a heartbeat. Thats kind of a deal breaker for me but considering I got this for 23 bucks CDN on ebay I'm ok with that. However that BT pairing problem is really annoying and I wish it would just autoconnect- it loses signal way to easy and its annoying to have to reconnect all the time. When it works, its pretty reliable and I like having it on because I am in environments where I miss notifications on my phone pretty easily. So it cant store anything at all.UPDATE: I've started to use it again in the last few weeks and I do like having it when it works- the notifications on my wrist are good (I get notified on my LiveView before my phone on texts, but FB messenger updates only every fifteen minutes minimum so thats a bit too slow for me. The fact that it even needs BT to display anything, even a simple time app is ridiculous considering it always loses its BT connectivity. There are small apps like LiveviewCharm that minimize the amount of pairing you need to do, but overall, its a terrible piece of crap and really should never have been released. It always needs to be re-paired and given that the BT always cuts out, you need to manually click a pairing mode every time. The absolute worst thing about this, besides the terrible UI (which really really takes a long time to understand and use effectively- if it can even be said to be used effectively) is the bluetooth connectivity. This is easily the biggest piece of crapola that I have ever bought.
