I’ve had two generations of the Nike edition, but went with the regular Sport one this year. I’ve still got my old Nike straps. I don’t think the Nike faces are a draw unless you use the Nike running app — as you’re stuck with the non-changeable Nike complication. I’ve tried more than once to love the Nike app, but keep on coming back to the built-in Workout app, which is now better than ever for running with the new Watch OS.
 
They have been “available” in store for about a week in Australia. I went in for a 40mm silver aluminium which they were out of stock at the time but the guy told me they had basically all the series 4 Nike models!
As of yesterday they had more stock of the model I wanted! :)
 
Really?

All I see is the choice of either the Nike sport band or Nike sport loop (reflective) in either black or white. No option for the non-Nike loop. Saw them in store earlier this week as well, and the Nike loop is definitely different from the non-Nike.

I didn't see it in store, in the picture it looked like the standard loop they ship with the regular model.
What's the difference, apart from color?

What kind of running do you do? This would be my first watch and I was waiting for the Nike because all the reviews say it's better for runners.

I'd be running 2-6 miles with the occasional 10 mile run.
 
Who buys these? I don’t understand what’s different..
Two Nike watch faces, and a different selection of bands to choose from when you purchase. Those are the only differences. I am on my 2nd Nike watch (series 3). I use the NRC app religiously and looking forward to the series 4 as soon as (hopefully) Nike puts out their seasonal 20% coupon in the not-too-distant future.

It's only better if your data is already stored in Nike's running app or if you want more customizable training runs. If you've never used NRC, you would be fine either way. I have used the NRC app for years now, and it has great race training plans and guided runs, if you're in to that. If you just want a simple GPS tracker with minimal bells and whistles you can't go wrong with the Workout app, which when combined with the stats stored in the Activity app on your phone are nicely done.

How’s that work?
If you have a Nike log in and get their spam emails, maybe once/twice a year they put out a decent coupon that can be used on Nike . com. The discount can be used for the Apple Watch. That how I bought my series 3 :)

Does anyone know if they want the band and charging adapter with the Apple GiveBack Trade in Offer or just the watch?
You get to keep the band and charger. It’s like getting an extra $80.

Got mine today, why wouldn’t you buy the Nike watch? Same price with extra watch faces.
Because those watch faces are useless to me. I like faces that have way more functionality. Why would I wait for those watch faces? And I prefer adidas and asics over Nike...and I’m not a brand name kinda gal.
 
Ordered mine around 8:30 am this morning with evening pick up at local Apple store. South Bend Indiana.

I bought one this morning. 3 reasons.

I use the Nike+ running app.
I like the Nike watch faces.
I like the Nike sport loop which is actually black vs Apple’s sport loop which is black but with rainbow colors in it for some reason.
 
They should make an American Flag watch face for these.... oh wait.
