So did anyone that ordered from nikes website get charged ? I haven't yet but just checking. Mine does say preparing for shipment
I ordered from Nike's website, but I didn't order until 10/10. Mine still says delivered by 11/2
Good deal , let's post here once and when Nike starts charging cards. I'm assuming most people who got charged ordered from apple.
I ordered space grey/volt from Apple 10/15 and was given a shipping date of 11/21. After reading this thread I looked at the nike app, and it said I could get it by 11/2. Cancelled my Apple order at 2 am this morning and ordered through Nike and now I get it 19 days earlier I assume Nike is getting a chance to get it in running club members hands first and I've been a member since 2014
Do you have an Apple Store near you? If you do, I'd keep an eye out for in-store pickups.
Preordered 9/9 Nike+. Delivers 28/10 in Apple Store app
Still processing and credit card has not been charged.

Yep! Me too. I'm wondering if they are already here in Australia, in a warehouse, just waiting to be sent out at the correct time.
Would be interested to see if those who usually have wrists that are less tanned due to wearing a watch, will end up with these dark circles from the Nike Band.
Having just received my knockoff Nike band... it's actually a case of form over function with this band. It looks nice but the holes won't do anything practical. The vast majority of them will be covered on the inside by a solid piece of strap from one end of the strap or the other. That can't help ventilation at all.
I'm waiting for any AW2. At this rate I'll get the Nike+. Haven't been able to find a single AW2 anywhere.
haha i just ordered the knockoffs from eBay. lets see how they compare to the originals too. I know my Woven Nylon ones don't look too shabby.

I ordered on 23/9 and I agree. Unlike my iPhone 7 Plus Black which literally came straight from Foxconn. ✈️
Can you post pictures? I don't remember any solid parts when I tried on the Nike band at the Apple Store.

My iPhones have always come straight from China, but iPads and Watch have sometimes shipped from Philadelphia (I live in NY).

the ends of each band are solid and cover the insides of the holes. my 38mm knockoff only came with S/M (which is actually probably better than having the M/L, as there's less overlap to tuck in) but i can't imagine the holes will line up if you have that much tucked in either.
Hmmmm. I'll have to check again when I get mine. Personally, I'm not too concerned about the sweats evaporating, what I like most about the band is the feel. Talking about feel, how does your knockoff band feel? The genuine band feels very soft and flexible.
If you're in the medium range, the S/M will definitely be better than M/L.
It feels basically like the knockoff bands do. I haven't had chance to go to the Apple Store to try the Nike+ yet - how does the real thing feel against the regular sport bands?
I have tiny wrists -- I'm on the second to last hole in the s/m, lol.
The genuine Nike+ band feels a lot more flexible, and somehow softer than the regular sports band.
Well, knockoff sport bands also feel flexible and in some cases softer. So these may actually be imperceptible (apart from the moulding not being flush). Only another week or so surely before someone can side by side both.
It's hard to describe, but the Nike+ band feels overall better than the regular sports band. I haven't seen any knockoff bands in person. When you say they are more flexible than the genuine regular sports band, do you mean more flexible while being just as sturdy, or more flexible because it's just more floppy?
Anyone order from BestBuy? I did because I had some store credit that I needed to use up, but I am wondering why they say release date is 11/11 on their site for the watch, whereas I know Apple has stated 10/28 is the release date...
You all think I may get it earlier than the 11/11 date? It does say, "get it by 11/11."
