HD3 Slyde watch beats any iPod nano timepiece hands down

Or should we say “wrist down”? The HD3 Slyde will definitely draw a slew of nano wristwatch comparisons, but you can be sure that thsoe who have given the HD3 Slyde a go would most probably not want to go back to a regular iPod nano wristwatch. Make no mistake about it, the HD3 Slyde was already conceived and underwent development before the latest generation iPod nano was revealed last year. Boasting subtle curves and a complex interface, this is the hard work of Jorg Hysek Jr, son of famed French watchmaker Jorg Hysek. The LED display might actually result in being an OLED variant when it hits the market this coming September, while a sapphire crystal cover is curved to better conform to a person’s wrist. Apart from that, you get a water-resistant titanium body (up to 30 meters) which is in silver or black colors. There is no need for any physical buttons at all, although battery indicators are located on the side. You can always send it back to the manufacturer for hardware upgrades in the future or connect it to a computer via miniUSB for software updating. We are most probably looking at a $100 price point for the HD3 Slyde when it arrives.
