The Apple Watch does n’t get much credit or attending from modding geeks . Over the old age , it has been turn into anecklace , sleeve armband , and ahiding berth for AirPods . Then there arekitsthat twist it into an sinful opulence watch wannabe in all sorts of feeling — Hublot , Rolex , you name it .
The in style hardware dangerous undertaking is about turn the Apple Watch into a tiny iPod . And fittingly , the troupe behind it promise it TinyPod . After all , what better scheme to success than take a hot product , dial back to the good ol’ technical school nostalgia , and turn it into a functional loan-blend ?
That ’s the whole premise here . And I am entirely deal on it . Your Apple Watch becomes an iPod Classic — one that runs watchOS and does a lot more than the music actor could ever do .
The expert part is that the cycle process . In fact , it seems a lot more convenient to interact with than fidget with the midget crown on an Apple Watch . I have very small hired hand , and I still rage at it because my wrist vex in the fashion and makes the crown difficult to use .
This whole project issoApple that you ’d opine it was some official long - fall back side labor . The website ’s design , clean animations , font selection , depressed - white - gray radical , and rounded buttons — this is as Apple as it gets without Apple . Come on , guys !
It looks really polished and not like one of those rough ideas that probably materialized on a gaudy 3D printer in a service department . The TinyPod can deal calls , messages , e-mail , news , weather , and , of class , medicine . You know , all the stuff you could do on the Apple Watch .
“ Through careful mechanised components at bottom , TinyPod ’s cycle makes unmediated rotation contact with your Apple Watch crown , letting it naturally scroll anything across the bone , ” says the company . The folk behind it are even remove the throat the mind of “ your phone away from a speech sound . ”
Of course , that ’s assuming you spend more on the cellular version of the smartwatch . The team insure that the invention wo n’t hinder feature film like Namedrop , contactless payments , and magnetic charging . The company even boast extra shelling milage because wrist spotting is turn off .
The company also make a version without the gyre bicycle and calls it TinyPod lite . It supports the mainline Apple Watches , theSE model , and thegiant Ultra trim , too . As for size compatibility , it plays well with 40/41 mm , 45/44 mm , and 49 mm adaptation .
The received chance variable costs $ 80 , but the one that ingest an Apple Watch Ultra will place you back by $ 90 . The variant without a scroll cycle — and without any joy , objectively speaking — is priced at $ 30 .
cargo ships starts this summer , and so does my countdown to expend money on yet another gadget that I ’ll use for a day and then give up to wipe out junk . And hey , we ’re in July , direction past a cruel April Fools antic , and far away from Kickstarter shenanigans , too .
