Just wondering if there are any distinguishing characteristics that the Nike watch has that others don’t, assuming you aren’t using the Nike face or bands.
Got a tip for us?

Anything that distinguishes the Nike watch from others? Other than face/bands?

The Nike Apple Watch has been proven to make you run about 2% faster than using a non Nike Apple Watch provided you are wearing Nike running shoes and almost 5% faster if wearing full Nike gear. If wearing another brand of shoes it actually slows you down by about 5%.
There is nothing special about the Nike branding on the Apple Watch. Some people just like to promote and show off Nike.
That's it - Nike specific band, available Nike watch faces and a nike logo on the back. Everything else is the same.
Nothing to do with any of that for me. I liked the Nike band, which of course you can buy separately, and I also like the fact that I got more faces in more colors on the Nike version than I would have on the non-Nike version, for the exact same price. I really do like several of the Nike faces, so for me, it was a no brainer.
Now that mention it, a lot of people tended to gravitate to Nike because the bands at the time, could only be gotten with the watch. Now that that aspect has changed, the face niche buyer may have gotten smaller as well.
Yeah same price, more faces if you already want the colors it comes in. I wanted a blue watch for my upgrade so i skipped the nike but if i was going space grey i would’ve definitely gone nike just for the additional options
Same here and of course the band is a nice bonus. It is odd though that just to get some extra watch faces you have to buy a different version.
