Timex Ironman iControl Watch
History has shown us that manufacturers are capable of producing some horrible convergence devices. Does the internet refrigerator ring a bell, or how about the cellphone music player. It’s just human nature for designers to want to create the one device to rule them all. With this goal in mind, products often become a mashup of disparate functionality squeezed into the same device. The results can often be less than desirable, and you’re left with a device that is less than the sum of its parts because ultimately you’d be better served with a fridge that handles refrigeration, and a computer that handles internet access.
Where others before have tried and failed to be the perfect convergence device, Timex’s IronMan iControl watch, looks to have succeeded. It is a sport watch that is also a remote which controls the playback functionality of your iPod. It works because it performs each task equally well. The incorporation of the iPod’s functionality into the watch does not in anyway hinder the operation of the device as a watch, and vice-versa.
