Companies are making watchbands for the iPod nano like crazy, but the problem is that the nano wasn’t built to be a watch in the first place—and that’s the fundamental difference beween it and the HD3 Slyde (well, that and the price).
The Slyde is a high-end Swiss watch with a touchscreen UI and a curved design that’s actually going to be comfortable on the wrist. They will also release several custom digital watch dials each year that can be purchased for around $50-$100 apiece (perhaps even more for special editions).

Remember that iPhone watch concept we featured a few months back? Well, this is as close as you will get to the real thing.
Basically, it’s a watch band that you can insert your new multitouch iPod nano into. As it turns out, the nano is just about the right size for an oversized watch face.
