F3 :: FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION - Hex watch band

There have been many attempts to create a watch band for the iPod Nano 6G, but none so stylish and well integrated as the Hex watch casing, a great example of form following function.




There are no fancy fittings for the Nano, you just pop it into place and it sticks perfectly to the watch band enclosure. The band is made out of silicone, protects your Nano thanks to its full coverage, has push-through button covers and an audio port cover. It’s available in nine colors and costs $25.
Will it replace the Chanel watch for Fashionistas? Who knows, but it gives Nano owners the coolest watch on the block.

Having said that, I’m still waiting for a Bluetooth headset so we can finally cut the cord between our players and our listening devices, a.k.a. our ears! Maybe Aliph, the maker of the Jawbox and the Jawbone, will merge those two devices and solve this design dilemma in a form that truly follows function.

    HEX is a name that is associated with fashionable tech accessories, and this time around the company has rolled out its latest offering for the masses especially those who own the latest iPod nano as they can then slot it into the HEX sport watch band. Thanks a lot...
