The Mutewatch is like an iPod Nano, without the annoying iPod part

You know those silicone armbands that turn the touch-screen iPod Nano into an oversized watch? Imagine that you could have one of those, only without the Nano, and for €200 instead of €150.

You have now successfully imagined the Mutewatch, a watch named (presumably) for the silence that will gush from friends and coworkers when you tell them how much you paid for it.

The Mutewatch is actually pretty cool: Its face is a multitouch display. Tap it (or flick your wrist) to light up the LEDs which show the time, and tap above and below the digits to set the time for alarms. A motion sensor knows when you’re moving fast or hard and increases the vibrating alerts to match, and the watch lasts for a week or two on a single charge (charging is done via USB).

Actually, now I think about it, this might be better than the Nano, Apple’s most annoying iPod yet. At least the Mutewatch does one thing, and does it well. Apple’s crappy Nano attempts to do everything, and ends up doing nothing properly.

The Mutewatch comes in red, white or gray and is available now.
