Thanks. Markku wins the prize: the earphones are wireless. Or you can use the dock connector to plug it into a sound system and recharge it. Here is the text that accompanied the submission:

The iPod Watch
Features and price point place the iPod Watch between the iPod Shuffle and the iPod Nano. It has more control than the Shuffle, but is smaller than the Nano. Its main audience is the active user who doesn't want to carry extra accessories or wires, and wants to listen to music, audio books or podcasts.
A 1.5" LED display (240 x 180 pixels @ 200ppi) is large enough to navigate through your music list, but is not intended to watch photos and videos.
The interface is very tactile. The mechanical ring lets you adjust the volume and navigate through menus. Four small paddle buttons around the display respond to your input with a satisfying click. With a little practice, you should be able to use the basic functions without taking your eyes off your task.
Wifi and Bluetooth antennas are hidden inside the wrist band. To avoid wire entanglement, this product uses Bluetooth headphones. The wifi connection allows you to receive music from any shared library on your wifi network. One end of the band can be opened (by squeezing the sides) to reveal a full-size dock connector, which allow you to connect to any dock device for recharging or playing music on speakers.
And... yes... it can tell time! When not in use, the iPod Watch display the clock of your choice, and can synchronize to Internet time via wifi.

And here's a wireframe view. I used a 120-sided cylinder for the ring, selected every other point along the edge and scaled down the selection. For the body, I used a couple of cylinders joined with the bridge tool. The buttons and screen are yet another cylinder that was hacked and chamfered.
