HURRICANE, UT – (October 26, 2010)– For years, Chums has given outdoor sports enthusiasts the best accessories to help you “hang on” to your valuable gear. Chums’ The Band® has been the go-to replacement watch band for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts, securing your valuable (or not so valuable) timepiece, GPS or monitor to your wrist with the double wrap-around hook/loop design. Now with the help of the new touch screen iPod® nano, The Band® is moving into the digital age. Combine The Band® with your iPod® nano to create an uber-stylish, high tech watch!

The Band® has always been known as the ultimate action sports watchband because of its comfort, durability and eye-catching patterns. The entire accented line of The Band® watch bands has been updated with exciting and contemporary patterns. Chums teamed up with pioneering women’s outdoor apparel designer and Isis co-founder Poppy Gall of Poppy Gall Design Studio to develop a variety of fresh patterns to complement The Band®’s durability and function. Poppy is known for her keen sense of detail and melding contemporary patterns with traditional aesthetics.

The iPod® nano’s display panel is a perfect match with the The Band®’s Wide model – featuring 3/4” (20mm) sizing and a wide 1.5” base webbing that works great with larger style watches. The Standard size offers a sleeker look with the same 3/4” (20mm) hook and loop and a soft 1” wide base webbing for comfort & durability.

The Band® wristwatch bands retail between $6.99 – $7.99.
