America’s leading watch manufacturer Timex has unveiled the innovative iControl sports watch. The unique iControl provides a wireless operating device for Apple’s iPod player. What’s more, the watch is also compatible with the newly launched iPhone when it is in airplane mode.
Apple and Timex Launch iControl Watch
Apple and one of the world’s leading watch manufacturer, Timex have joined forces to create a watch designed specifically for the iPod. The latest, in their already popular Ironman series, is Timex’s iControl. 
This watch, which will retain all the features that any other Ironman sports watch come equipped with, now also has controls for your iPod as well. That’s not all. In fact it’s also compatible with the ever-lovin iPhone, but only when it’s in airplane mode. The iControl will wirelessly sync to the iPod or iPhone and so you will be able to control your music (Play/Pause, Volume Up/Down, Track Forward/Back) from there. It’s also water resistant (100 meters) of course like any other in the same series.
"The days of fumbling for your iPod in mid-stride are over,” said Heberto Calves, Vice President of Sports Marketing. “iControl offers cutting edge technology and contemporary design, in addition to the functional quality and durability people have come to expect from Timex.”
The iControl is available in a wide range of colors - gray and black, as well as pink, blue, orange and green. The cost of this watch is Rs. 5,049 ($125).

Navigate your iPod...with your Watch
Timex just announced a fun new addition to its watch family, and while it's nothing earth-shattering, it certainly warrants a mention. The Timex Ironman is already established as an excellent workout companion, keeping track of your laps, armed with interval timers, and waterproof up to 100 meters. Now, Timex has made it iPod friendly: just plug the included dongle into your iPod and your Ironman with "i-Control for i-Pod" (uh, guys, there's no hyphen in iPod) acts as a remote for your tunes.It doesn't use Bluetooth, but does operate in the 2.4 GHz range. You can play, pause, skip, backtrack, and adjust the volume via buttons on the watch. These same buttons control different workout-related features on the watch when it's in a certain mode, so whether you're controlling your iPod or your lap timer can depend on how long you hold down the button.
This is great for people who throw their 'Pod in a bag when on the subway or clip it onto clothing, when working out--it even works when the iPod has the Hold button activated. Not bad!
Availability is sketchy, but definitely by August 15th we should see these watches in stores and online for anywhere between $99 and $125.
