HEX Unveils Metal and Leather "Vision" Watch Bands

OXNARD, Calif., May 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- HEX, a division of seasoned fashion house August Accessories and leader in fashionable tech accessories, today revealed its vision for the future of watches with the launch of Vision Metal and Vision Leather bands now available on ShopHex.com and Apple.com. Integrating the iPod nano® Gen 6, the Vision line brings classic timepiece sophistication and modern tech functionality to HEX's collection of watch bands, incorporating luxury and high-quality materials into its newest techcessory designs.

Unlike any other watch on the market, the Vision line offers consumers a chic and stylish accessory that has multiple uses such as music player, photo album, fitness tool and timepiece all with an easy access touch-screen. Both the Vision Metal and Vision Leather watch bands are compatible with Nike+® and have accessible audio ports for plugging in headphones or earbuds. With a slick clip-in, clip out face for the iPod nano, the Vision line combines the classic with the futuristic.

"We wanted to combine utility and fashion with a technology edge for the Vision Metal and Leather line," says Dan Maravilla, Vice President of HEX. "We are driven to grow the techcessory category by designing products that are embraced equally by the fashion-minded and technology-motivated consumer. We believe our new metal and leather bands offer the best of both worlds, combining classic watch aesthetic with everyday tech accessibility and functionality."

Vision Metal's design incorporates premium, all stainless steel material in two unique tones—stainless and gunmetal. With a coated clip for advanced scratch resistance of the nano, the Vision Metal band easily transitions from work to play and delivers both a sleek aesthetic and a highly functional user experience. The silver and gunmetal bands are available now for $69.95 at ShopHex.com and Apple.com with Apple in-store retail expected before month's end.

Vision Leather bands come in three bold, statement-making colors—red, white and black—and securely cradle the iPod nano with the simple clip-in, clip-out stainless steel plate. Made of genuine leather, the Vision Leather watch bands are the perfect addition to a changing wardrobe, adding a pop of color that is in line with the season's look. Perfect for dressing up an everyday outfit or adding a statement piece to classic business attire, Vision Leather watch bands are available for $49.95 at ShopHex.com as well as Apple online retail, with orders arriving at Apple retail stores in the near future.

The Vision Metal and Vision Leather bands join HEX's Original, Slim and Sport collections which are also available at ShopHex.com. For more information on the brand visit the website, follow on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ShopHex or on Twitter @shophex.
