PKW Both w Chains_s The products’ designer, Simon Kwan, says while existing nano watch kits are popular (he owns several), there are opportunities to make them easier to use with improved versatility and appeal. PodKit Watch™ key features: • iPod nano® can be easily installed or removed without tools (unlike some popular nano watch bands) • PodKit Watch™ looks and feels more like jewelry than a gadget accessory, with a variety of available motifs and colors • Front cover fully protects nano’s touchscreen display • Cover release button automatically wakes nano’s display from sleep mode • Headphone jack protected by magnetic cover • It can be chained to clothing and bags • Or worn as a pendant; which is more comfortable than wristwatch kits when using nano’s music player with headphones ClipClok™ is an analog timepiece module that can replace iPod nano® as a watch on rainy days (nano isn’t waterproof) or when nano is re-charging. ClipClok™ key features: • Fully compatible with PodKit Watch™ and all other iPod nano® watch kits • Hardened glass crystal • Functional rear clip • Waterproof to 3 ATM (30 meters / 98 ft) • Quality Japanese quartz movement with date calendar and 5-year battery With this list of features, it’s safe to say that Kwan has carefully studied existing nano watch accessories to develop what he feels is a more comprehensive and elegant solution. He especially focused on designing products he hopes are appealing for both men and women; who Kwan believes have been under appreciated by current nano watch kit designs, “My girlfriend loves her nano, but when she tried wearing one of my nano wristwatch kits, it looked awkwardly large on her and wouldn’t properly fit. Those big watch bands don’t appeal to her feminine style.” The success of other designers on Kickstarter inspired his decision to crowdfund his project. Kwan has only until September 2 for his project to reach its Funding Goal. Both PodKit Watch™ and ClipClok™ are priced well below retail for Kickstarter pre-orders. Will PodKit Watch™ + ClipClok™ become the next Kickstarter success story? It all depends on the project’s supporters, known as Backers.
