The idea is actually quite simple. It’s a watch band for your iPod nano, but there is an integrated Bluetooth adapter. This is a seamless design, so you don’t get an ugly adapter jutting out from the bottom. The band and case are molded from a flexible silicone polymer, featuring ample venting to provide airflow to your wrist. Simply pair up the Bluetooth headphones of your choice and you can have a cable-free music experience when you go for your run or hit up the gym. Leave the wired headphones at home.

With 25 days to go, the Kickstarter project has already reached its funding goal. You can expect to see the SYRE ship in six different colors when it becomes available in 4 to 6 months. Pledge at least $50 to secure one of the first units. Full retail will be $79.95.

The current generation iPod nano is pretty small. It’s so small that people have cleverly converted it into a wearable watch. The first attempt was an ugly nylon strap, but this new band from Hex seems to scream out a little more geek chic.

Instead of a crappy nylon strap, the $24.95 Hex band is made from what appears to be a silicone material, similar to the rubbery cases that you might buy to protect your cell phone (or MP3 player, as the case may be). Hex is offering it in a number of different colors and, depending on your fashion sense, it may not look all that terrible.

I probably wouldn’t do this myself, but then again, I haven’t worn a Timex Ironman watch in over a decade. It’s not for everyone, but it is an interesting idea. You can even snake the headphone cord through your sleeve for some semi-stealth musical enjoyment… but you’ll still stick out from the crowd with your touchscreen iPod watch.
