Apple's iPod Nano has been the awkward middle sibling. It's more portable than a traditional iPod, but bigger than the iPod Shuffle. But the Nano is begining to come into its own, not only as a really great music player, but also a gym-buddy fitness device and—get this—a watch. Apple is embracing its MP3 player's new life as a wristband time keeper, and the new iPod Nano (as revealed at Tuesday's much-hyped iPhone event) comes stocked with 18 built-in clock faces. We've got close-up looks at each one in a gallery below the jump, along with a roundup of our favorite watchband accessories.
Apple's new iPod Nano ($129 for 8GB, $129 for 16GB, from Apple.com) is all about customization. Customers can choose from seven different colors, two different storage sizes and these 18 different clock faces pictured in the gallery above.

If only it was waterproof. Then it'd be the perfect watch.
The nano-as-watch thing is pretty disingenuous. After getting wowed reactions to mine, becoming a strong advocate for it—it was my favorite among several watches, including solid gold models costing many times more—and despite having covered the connector and earphone hole with rubber plugs (available online), it developed problems with moisture getting under the glass. The nano had never been submerged; the store rep said I never should so much have used a faucet with the nano on my wrist!
Apple wouldn't cover the damage per its standard water damage policy, even though I was only doing something Apple clearly had advocated (and continues to advocate, apparently), had taken extra precautions, and which resulted from insufficient moisture sealing on the part of Apple for an application they themselves advocate.
Moral of the story: don't get a nano for use as a watch if you plan to wash your hands after using a restroom.
Apple really shouldn't be showing the nano with a watch strap.
i wish it could also be a heart rate monitor function.
I just don't want to have a cord from my watch to my ear. If there was bluetooth to remote earplugs then...
Doesnt it drain your battery?
Currently using the 8th. And no it doesn't drain the battery, you have to take it out of standby to view the clock face.
