Athletes looking for a more convenient way of controlling their iPods during workouts will be happy to hear that Timex has announced their new Ironman iControl “Music in Motion” watch. This advanced sports watch is capable of wirelessly controlling your Apple iPod – even iPhone’s in airplane mode.

One look at the Timex iControl and it’s clear it’s a sports oriented watch (we doubt you’d want to wear this out on a date or a night out on the town). However, if you need to go on a run or you want to take a quick swim then the iControl is perfect for those activities. The iControl wirelessly connects to your iPod using a bundled wireless receiver which attaches to the iPod’s dock connector. Once attached, the iControl can control the following iPod functions: play/pause, volume up/down, and track forward/back.

Other features of the Timex iControl include:

• 50 lap memory recall chronograph
• Training log stores your current workout with date, best lap, and average lap
• Multi-mode countdown timer
• 2 interval timers for speed and endurance training
• 3 customizable alarms for daily, weekday, and weekend settings
• INDIGLO night-light with NIGHT-MODE feature
• 3 year battery life
• 100m water resistance

The Timex Ironman iControl watch is available in combinations of gray and black, as well as pink, blue, orange, and green. The MSRP is $125.00. The watch is currently out of stock on the Timex website but it does have a ship date of 8/10.
