Apple Stores have them to try on, and they probably would swap the band if you ask.

They definitely let you try on the Nike+ watches. I'm not positive if they'd let you swap out bands, but I don't see why not. In fact, the Apple Store I went to the other day had one of the display models mismatched (Silver Aluminum case with Black/Volt band). =/

Thanks for letting me know! I stopped by an Apple Store during my lunch and tried on all the Nike bands and guess what...I still have no idea what band I want lol! Here are a few pics. What do you guys think?

I preordered a Space Gray with the Black/Gray band but was thinking of finding someone here on the forums to exchange that for the Silver/White. But now I kind of like the Black/Volt . I really didn't think it would be this hard to decide on the band lol!

I'm waiting for my Volt/black AWN+ to come next Friday!

Personally, the volt color is too loud for me, but if it fits your style, it's a distinctive look.
 
I'm waiting for the black/volt to come in. I'm super excited, getting so impatient, lol. I want to buy all these accessories for it, and I don't even have it in my possession! Bought an extra band, bought an extra cable, and thinking about buying a dock... Hmm...
 
Dang zooland , great pictures man. I ordered black/gray to be on the conservative side , but the black/volt is on point. Apple is gunna have to start selling those bands with a quickness. Simply carbon fiber has got a case for the Series 2 in the works. I can't wait for it all to come together on my wrist lol
 
Has anyone else ordered one?

I ordered one back on 10/11.....says delivery 11/11.

Must be a lot of people ordering them...

Curious if anyone here ordered one and dates they ordered and delivery dates??
 
Bought a black/volt and a couple bands on Amazon - navy blue sport band and a black milanese. Can't wait.

For the Nike  watch

Hardware
100% same watch, special bands only?

Software
Special watch faces, special Nike+ running app


So all the real "hype" over the Nike  watch on the HARDWARE difference is the special bands? Am I missing something?

Yup, that's it. Cost the same too so why not. That and the new running app is why I'm looking forward to getting mine on the 28th.

So all watches won't be able to utilize the Nike running app that ships with the Nike+ app? My understanding was that only the bands and watch faces were different. I use the app so I am truly curious now.

I believe that is correct. So for the time being, the faces and the bands are the only two unique features to the Nike+ version. For the same price as the standard AW2, it was an easy choice if you are a runner and like the bands.
[doublepost=1476898970][/doublepost]I think there was one other software difference. The Nike+ AW has the running app as a shortcut on the face for more convent/faster access to the running app. Not sure if this can be done with the standard AW. On the less significant side, the Nike "Volt" color appears to be an option for the various colors on the face and the back of the watch has the Nike logo.

I believe non-Nike+ watches will be able to download the same app from the App Store. The only difference is that the app is preinstalled on the Nike+ watch. If you already have the Nike+ app, an update should drop soon to make it the same as the one that comes with the Nike+ Watch.

Correction: The Nike+ Running app is NOT special to the watch. There's a special Nike Logo complication within the special watch faces.

Also, per the Nike press release, there's some exclusive Siri commands. I think one example is: "Hey Siri, let's go for a run" and it brings up the Nike+ app. Something like that.

I think I remember hearing that during the launch event. Nice, really looking forward to next Friday!
 
Yes, I'm looking forward to leaving my phone behind when I run! I too was tempted with the airpods because they look so easy to pair and use but my concern was how well they would stay in my ear (the regular wired pods do not). The Jaybird X2s just went on sale (probably because the X3s are coming soon) so I bought a pair of those.

The EarPods fit my ears just fine - so have no worries about the fit of the AirPods. Plus, a lot of the reviews mention that the AirPods don't fall out citing the lack of tension coming from the cables that would have been there.
 
That's odd. I ordered from nikes site on oct 14th and have a ship date of the 28th. I figured Nike was still getting them to us on launch day. Maybe the shipping times have slipped.

That's weird. I keep checking and it says delivery of 11/11

I just saw a review by the Sydney Morning Herald for the Ear Pods, and they said they were good, and stayed in your ears when running / dancing, but fell out if you bent down to pick something up :-( so, I've now bought the Bragi Dash headphones.
