Got this watch in blue from Woot! but coudn't live with the color. Gave it to my wife and bought this black one. It does work with my iPhone 3GS. You get a bubble message on the phone that says the item is not made for the iPhone and an option to go into airplane mode. I choose no, it works, and I still get calls and texts. I have had problems with the connection a couple times. The phone doesn't want to go into iPod mode sometimes, and I get no sound. I haven't figured the exact sequence out yet, but removing the connector and starting the music first and then re-plugging the connector usually works. My wife's watch does the same thing. I believe this is an issue with the iPhone 3GS and not the watch, and I live with it since it's not advertised to work with my phone anyway.
The performance is great. I like being able to leave the phone in a pocket or in the bin on the treadmill and controlling it through the watch. No more sweaty hands on my phone when running, and lets face it; anyone with an iPhone knows that the iPod function is not designed to be controlled while working out or running. This watch makes it a cinch.
I've owned Ironman watches for 20 years or more, and have no issue buying the next one when mine gets lost or broken. They take abuse, and the controls and settings menus are intuitive. This one is super light-weight, and I like the look of it. The iPod buttons are easy to push and are in great position to make a no-look volume or track change. I'm very satisfied with the purchase.
