Mine works with latest iPod Nano (fat) and, yes, iPhone!! (2008-03-13)
Until I read a review that said they had used the watch with iPods not listed and it worked, I was worried, but then I went ahead and purchased it and want to pass on the good news... it works with both of the latest iPod products I own! The iPhone does have to go into airplane mode, so you would not be able to get or make calls. I can suffer that for the remote aspect. The fat Nano (video) works perfectly. Went running with this and it was so great to jump to the next NPR podcast if the one I was on was not of interest to me!
I am so thrilled I almost want to buy another. Plus it is comfortable. Yes, you cannot change bands, but this one is much more comfy than the Casio I had been wearing.
If you want to control an iPod, Nano, or even iPhone playing music, this item is a gem.
Works great for this little lady (2008-01-27)
I love this watch! I bought it mainly for the ipod control...haven't fooled around too much with many of the other features besides "chrono." I have the new 3G iPod nano and though it is not listed as compatible with the icontrol, it still works. I have an armband holder and all I have to do is insert my ipod upside down, and the timex connector sticks out of the bottom...no problems! It's great because the armband and the protective cover for my ipod makes it really hard to control the ipod once I've inserted it into the armband. Now, I don't even have to unlock the ipod, I just hit the play button on the watch and it automatically plays whatever playlist I've set!
It's great because I can control the volume of my ipod to adjust for louder songs, and can also turn it down when I am running through neighborhoods and want to be able to hear if someone is running up behind me.
I have really small wrists and, even though I'm latched into the last hole, it is plenty tight to keep it from rolling around my wrist. The the band lock is great...I got so tired of the bands sticking straight out when the holder slid off it (mostly when I'm swimming).
The only con I can see so far with this watch is that the buttons are really small and may be difficult for someone to operate with big fingers. However, I am able to easily control the buttons, even with the jostle of my running. I sometimes have to repress the buttons because I did not press hard enough, but that's the only problem I've had.
It's very simple to use...just plug the connector into the iPod and you are set to go. It's really that easy!

I purchased this item for my girlfriend, who is always running. She loves it, she doesn't have to look away from what is in front of her to control the ipod. Everytime she completes a run she thanks me.
