It's funny how we went from using iPod Nano as a watch with a third party case, to using an Apple Watch as an iPod Nano with a third party case.

- chant4747 2y agoWe did? I don’t recall an accessory like that for the nano. Seems it would have been too tall (wide?) to function as a watch. Happy to be proven wrong though.

- DHPersonal 2y agoIt's a web search away, but here's an example from an article posted at the premiere of the watch: https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/2015-apple-watch-vs-the-2011-ipod-nano-watch/ https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/2015-apple-watch-vs-the-201...

- euvin 2y agoI thought you were making a joke about TikTok the social media app at first. I wonder how many other products were named TikTok.
- kylebenzle 2y agoIt was a ver common phrase. I think its been lost to history but right before "TikTok" the phrase "tic tock" was getting popular as a way to say, "the second-by-second run down", e.g. give me the tic tock.
- smelendez 2y agoThis was common in journalism: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tick-tock_(journalism) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tick-tock_(journalism) But I haven’t heard it in a while.
- bobthepanda 2y agoI feel like the most popular pre-app wide popular usage would’ve been the Ke$ha song.
- Suppafly 2y ago>I feel like the most popular pre-app wide popular usage would’ve been the Ke$ha song. Agreed, a lot of the alternative usages that people are mentioning seem fake and I don't recall any of them being a thing. The only usage I recall being widespread was people saying tick tock to tell you to hurry up implying that the hands of a clock are moving. That and the little known novel from the 80's about a sentient murderous robot.
- lopis 2y agoI believe that by the end of the century half of the most common words of the English language will have been hostilely taken over and ruined by tech companies.

- simonklitj 2y agoYeah, my cousin did this years ago. Wore it religiously too.
- sen 2y agoI still own multiple nanos with the watch bands and the kids love playing with them as a ”more kid-safe Apple Watch”. Even after all these years they’re still immaculate and work great. More than can be said by lots of other more recent technology.
- interestingsoup 2y agoI was literally thinking what you said and I scrolled to your comment. WILD!
- ziofill 2y agoOh man I loved my iPod nano! I had the square one, and used to fill it with music and podcasts through a cable. I wish I had known there were cases to turn it into a watch
- Xeyz0r 2y agoA bit ironic how the evolution of technology and user preferences can come full circle
