Deckster Time:Piece iPod Nano Watch Band Strikes Nostalgia

December 30, 2011/ Nir Schneider

Meet the Deckster Time:Piece, a stylish iPod Nano watch conversion accessory with a hint of nostalgia that stresses that it is made in North America. But not just another watch band, the Time:Piece is a premium iPod Nano watch band made out of machined aluminum housing paired with the most amazing recycled rubber wrist straps made out of rubber tire tubes and motorcycle tires that are finished with stitched trimming. Each one of these is made unique and assymbled by hand. You've never seen this much awesomeness in an iPod Nano watch band guaranteed. These watch bands turn your iPod Nano into a worthwhile timepiece with some retroness thrown in like a cassette tape inspired loading mechanism called the Pop+Lock, which lets you easily slide in your iPod Nano in and out of the Time:Piece using a dual push or slide switch button that smoothly flips open and closes shut like an old-school cassette door

Deckter's Time:Piece is one of the most expensive iPod Nano watch bands we've seen to date and come in a few different aluminum color finishes along with wrist straps ranging from leather to tire tread rubber for $150 to $165 Canadian. Now that's pricy. On second thought, Made in China sounds much better. Check out the video below!

The AnTik Analog Watch Fits Into Your LunaTik & TikTok Watch Bands

October 27, 2011/ Nir Schneider

Chances are that you're already familiar with the LunaTik and TikTok watch band conversion kits for the iPod Nano that have made everyone lust over Apple's tiny Multi-Touch iPod. Up until recently, Minimal has been making quality watch bands for the iPod Nano until it decided to make its own clock dubbed the AnTik. But this time it isn't digital. The Antik is an analog clock module with a 2-hand Quarz movement and designed as a iPod Nano clone. Why? Because Minimal wants it to fit in all of its existing LunaTik and TikTok watch band accessories. The best part of all is that the AnTik is water-resistant for up to 30 meters. Minimal's creative yet more costly solution is swapping between your non-waterproof iPod Nano and the water-resistant AnTik when needed. The best of both worlds? We'll call it the costly way of doing things for the time being.

The AnTik does look sharp there's no denying that. It's also designed with quality in mind just like all of Minimal's products. The AnTik is made with machined aluminum casing with a satin finish with a knurl textured, stainless steel adjustment crown and finished off with a hardened mineral crystal watch face.

We're a bit disappointed to see no efforts being made to create a waterproof LunaTik and TikTok watch bands to be used with the iPod Nano. There is however a rather ugly alternative for a waterproof iPod Nano watch band like the Proof. Don't get your hopes high just yet though, the AnTik is only a solid concept for now with no release date nor price announced just yet. We'll be sure to let you know once more details are released.
