Retro accessory for Apple Watch: tinyPod will turn your iPod into a watch
By ForGeeks The world of technology doesn’t stand still, but sometimes it’s nice to go back to basics. The new tinyPod accessory lets you turn your Apple Watch into a nostalgic iPod with the iconic clickwheel. Remember the ClickWheel? The revolutionary scroll button that came to symbolize the good old iPod? Now it’s available for the Apple Watch!
tinyPod — is an Apple Watch case that adds the legendary clickwheel to watches Series 4 and above, including the Apple Watch Ultra 2. With this case, you’ll be able to scroll through watchOS menus without touching the screen, and the watch will still support magnetic charging and NameDrop. By disabling wrist detection, the company claims multi-day battery life for the smart watch in the tinyPod case. If you’ve been looking for a standalone music player for a while, the tinyPod could be a game changer. For those looking to save money, there’s a cheaper «lite» version that turns the Apple Watch into a touch-sensitive iPod Nano.
The tinyPod is also available as a standalone music player.
The standard tinyPod costs $79.99 (or $89.99 for the Ultra version), and the tinyPod lite — $29.99 (or $39.99 for the Ultra). The devices are available for order now on the tinyPod website and will begin shipping in the fall.

The return of the iPod?
It may just be nostalgia, but let’s face it, the iPod was an iconic device. Yes, as Steve Jobs once said, your iPhone — is «an iPod, a phone and an Internet communicator» but what if you want to disconnect from the world and enjoy music? People still use iPods, and tinyPod offers a new opportunity for music player lovers to modernize their iPod experience.

Most Apple Watches have 32GB of storage, which is perfect for your favorite tracks and podcasts. Keep in mind, however, that even an older Apple Watch Series 4 will cost at least $100 on the secondary market, so it can quickly become an expensive MP3 player. With a fall release, the tinyPod could be a great way to use your old Apple Watch when you upgrade to the anticipated Apple Watch X.
