The 2010 Apple Watch - iPod Nano 6th Gen!

Did you know Apple made an Apple Watch... before the Apple Watch? The iPod Nano 6th generation had the general shape of a watch, and it wasn't long before people were using it for just that.

"This ipod has no speakers so you have to use your headphones like a caveman"
It's funny because in many places, listening to music outside from the speakers of your devices will actually make you look like a caveman.

I remember using this with my legos to use as a part of my mini time square

[retrogaminggenesis]

I used this when the Apple Watch was coming out and had people think it was.

This tiny iPod has 3.5mm jack but huge iPhones don't

"I actually used this as a watch, it could tell the time!" Lol

I had one of these I pod nanos and my dumb 8 year old self was confused as to why it didn’t have angry birds

i remember these, memories of 2010 :) many people at summer camp would wear these

[MrDevillive]

I wore it when I was on a plane before, and people were genuinely impressed by it. They were like "what is that you are wearing??".

I remember being in 4th grade and my dad giving me his old iPod (that one) and having people come up to me and saying “how’d you get early access to the Apple Watch” lol

Who else got anxiety from the low battery on it?

I recently picked one up from my mum. It's an 8 GB model in pink that I mainly use for the FM radio feature. It's fascinating how somewhat decent the radio sounds compared to compact radios you can buy in 2020. I own an iPod collection ranging from an 60 GB iPod video all the way to a 256 GB iPod touch 7th gen. I also recently picked up two iPod touches... a 1st gen and a 4th gen to add to my collection. iPods were really neat pieces of tech in their golden age and I wanted one so bad, but my mum said no because they were really expensive, but now I actually have the means to buy one haha!! It's a bit of a hobby for me to fiddle with these things. I really need to buy a new screen replacement for my iPod video, it's quite sad right now with all the dead pixels.

But yeah, your videos are amazing, and after watching like 3 of them I followed you on Insta. Keep up the good work and stay safe!!

Cheers,
AJ

Did you just call headphone Jack users cavemen

I was one of the few people who never used his 6th gen Nano as a watch. I even discovered the whole watch thing after the 7th gen was already out. The story of how I got my 6th gen in the first place was kind of interesting though: I've had a first gen Nano, and my device's serial number was actually on Apples list for a worldwide recall in 2011. Apple promised to replace my old Nano with a recent model, if I send them my device. So I did just that, and actually received a brand new, factory sealed, silver iPod Nano 6th gen just a few weeks later. In retrospect though, I should've kept the 1st gen Nano, as it is now the more valuable and rare device of the 2.

I used to listen to music in class all the time with it around my wrist, put the cord through my sleeve and hid the buds under my hair, was a flawless technique since phones were not allowed.

I cheated on alot of test thanks to this ipod

[nathanchang]

*Early 2010's* my heart really hurt hearing this, those were such good times of my life now I'm depressed and sad all the time

I used to daily this as a watch, it was great! I remember eagerly awaiting some sort of jailbreak for it, but none were ever truly successful.

This and the 5th gen ipod were always my favorites. 5th gen ipod because it was a massive music storage device that could also play video albeit not very well. And this because it was my ipod of choice back in 2010 and 2011 and I just really had an attachment to it. It was like the corner of the ipod touch broke off and made to be it's own ipod and I really liked that.
