Remember jamming out to your favorite tunes on your iPod? Yeah, those were the days. Well, get ready for a trip down memory lane with a modern twist. tinyPod is a new case that transforms your Apple Watch into a tiny iPod (or mini phone), complete with a clickable scroll wheel for all those nostalgic vibes.
tinyPod basically turns your Apple Watch into a handheld device, but you gotta ditch the strap first. This lets you hold it and use it just like your old iPod. The basic version costs $79 and comes with its own click wheel that replaces the little dial (digital crown) on your Apple Watch. They also have a cheaper option for $29 that skips the click wheel and lets you use the one on your watch itself.
But tinyPod isn’t just about reliving the good ol’ days. With everyone glued to their phones these days, there are a bunch of gadgets out there promising to help you disconnect without going completely off the grid. The problem is, most of them are kinda weak or clunky, and honestly, can’t compete with the power of a smartphone.


tinyPod takes a different approach. Instead of ditching your phone entirely, it’s designed to be your “phone away from phone,” as the company says. Think of it like this: you can leave your phone at home but still have access to the essentials – texting, calls, paying at stores, and of course, jamming to your tunes. Basically, it’s the perfect option for those who want to ditch the bulky phone sometimes but still stay connected (and maybe relive some iPod glory days).
The best part? tinyPod isn’t just a dream. Their website says they’re shipping them out “this summer” and you can preorder one now in sizes that fit different Apple Watch models. So, if you’re looking for a way to escape the phone for a bit, stay connected to the important stuff, and rock out with that click wheel feeling, tinyPod might be your new best friend.
