Default Giveaway: Timex i-Control Ironman Watch



You saw the review earlier today, now we're giving it away! Just post a comment in the thread telling us how you'd use the i-Control if you had one. We'll randomly pick a winner from all the replies at noon on Friday. Unfortunately due to shipping problems in the past, we're going to limit this one to North America. Good luck!

Well, for one thing, I'd use it as a watch since I don't have one right now (I'm sort of between watches right now). I would love to have this so that I had an easy way to control my iPod when I am active (mowing the lawn, walking, working out) so I wouldn't have to fiddle with taking it out of my pocket, etc. Also, it would be great for traveling; I have a SeV coat and would love to be able to change tracks, etc without taking my iPod out of my pocket (just finding it can be a major challenge in that coat )

Default Timex Ironman i-Control Watch Givaway

Well like the commenter above, I kind of need a watch. My last one died a few weeks ago. Secondly I'd like to try it out with my iPod for workouts. It looks like its not perfect based on your review, but I'd like to give it a try anyway.

The green definitely will make a statement. Not sure what statement, but it will make one regardless

Thanks for the opportunity!

Oooo! Pick me!

You know what I want to use this for? For cross country skiing this winter! I presume that my Nike+ system would not work in XC skiing movement, even with calibration, so this would be cool, and allow me to not have to dig out the nano each time i want to adjust.

:-)

I've got to get on a winter workout program of riding the bike indoors and using the good ol' treadmill. this would be the perfect compliment for doing it. And, maybe the motivation to actually do it.

I've been looking for something like this and almost got the Nike+ foot pod and armband. If I had this...no need to deal with the foot pod.

Daddy needs a new watch!

And daddy needs to exercise more too. This way I could control my iPod from my watch while I'm on the elliptical trainer or the bike.

Default Not going to lie

Not going to lie here. As the guy that always has the latest gadgets, I would show this off to the neighbors and co-workers as the must have iPOD accessory since most of them own one. After all, I'm the guinnea pig for new techno-toys so once I show them how great something is, then they go out and buy it! :lol:
