Hands-On With the New Nike+ Apple Watch Series 4

[duckingAwesome]

What color are they using when they are discussing the Nike watch faces?

The only yellow I have is volt and the one they are using looks more like pollen?

NIKE PLUS IS A NIKE PRODUCT NOT APPLE. APPLE CAN SLAP THEIR LOGO INTO NIKE PRODUCT THAT'S FINE FREE MARKETING BUT JOBS WOULD NEVER ALLOW NIKE LOGO INTO HIS PRODUCT.

Screaming doesn't make it any more correct.

Nike and Apple® today announced a partnership bringing the worlds of sports and music together like never before with the launch of innovative Nike+iPod products. The first product developed through this partnership is the Nike+iPod Sport Kit

[..]

“We’re working with Nike to take music and sport to a new level,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO.

Funny how you selectively choose this particular sentence to argue.

Cool. Here's three sentences, then:

I'm pretty SJ would gladly take Nike's money to support it. Jobs is not a FAN of Nike he's a huge fan of New Balance which he wears them everyday. Apple would love to slap their logo on some popular product but not the other way around that's why we get free stickers that's a free advertising. But Jobs will never ever allow a Nike logo into an Apple product he didn't even allow carriers logo on iPhones and that's the reason why it only started on AT&T which the only carrier that agreed with him that time.

All three suggest present or future tense.

What I'm trying say is Apple dictates when Jobs was still alive not the other way around and that's supposed to be the culture he left. if Apple starts taking crap like this it's just a matter of time carrier starts slapping their logo into iPhones which all started by Nike into the Apple Watch.

You mean like a U2-branded iPod, or an Hermès-branded Apple Watch?

Just admit that you are way off on this one. The Apple-Nike cooperation has existed for over twelve years.

Is the reflective sports loop available to purchase? or only available when buying the watch?

I want to know the same thing. The NRC app has never worked properly on my Series 2 Nike+ watch, and each time Nike updates the app, it gets even worse.

I've done exactly one run with the NRC app since I picked up the Series 4. So far, 100% better than with the Series 2. The app feels way more responsive, and no crashes so far. I was about to say that the history was correct (it does correctly list all my runs) but the "This Month" total still incorrectly lists no runs/miles.

I was seriously unhappy with the S2 NRC experience- it essentially never worked as advertised, with crashes happening 80% of the time and data loss maybe a third of the time. I never would have put up with it except that I'm semi retired and am ok with a run loss here and there, but it really did fail at its core experience. I'm hoping that either the processor, RAM or the GPS was underpowered in the S2, resulting in the poor experience, but we'll see how it goes.

It's only available with the watch. There are a few on ebay but they are expensive.

 

[walnuts]

I'm also interested in that. Anyone?

No- it displays within a small box keeping the actual display area a small bit away from the edges.

 

[justinpe]

I don't know why people like these any more than the regular watch but more power to them I suppose.

You basically get a reflective (or perforated sport) band and two additional watch faces for the same price.

 

[ghsDUDE]

No- it displays within a small box keeping the actual display area a small bit away from the edges.

So frustrating they won’t update the App to take advantage of the new screen size.

Would have thought that would be mandatory with their own version of the Watch.

Mine is exactly the same length as my midnight fog one.

I’m talking about the Nike Sport Loop. I’m not sure if you’re talking about Apple’s Sport Band.

I agree an Apple logo on a popular product like Nike it's a free advertising. But not any other logo put into an Apple products.

I’m talking about the Nike Sport Loop. I’m not sure if you’re talking about Apple’s Sport Band.

Midnight fog was a sport loop colour. I’m talking about the sport loop. The ones included with this watch are exactly the same on my wrist as the midnight fog and flash. I have a fairly prominent vein that happens to line up with the plastic end, so it’s not hard to compare.

This is with 38mm/40mm loops.

Costs the same as the stock watch, but includes a couple extra features that you may use at some point. So not much reason not to.

I guess you have to weigh between two mediocre watch faces and waiting an extra 2 weeks to get it.

does the apple watch allow spotify offline mode yet? my samsung frontier s3 watch does, but would like to move to apple.

Does the Nike+ watch 4 have the exact Infograph and Infograph Modular face that the standard Watch Series 4 have? Are there limitations that the Nike version has over the standard Series 4?

 

[Mac'nCheese]

I’m thinking of getting the Nike version just because I want the band with the holes in it. Is that silly?

 

[ELman]

If history repeats itself the reflective bands will be available in the spring as a stand alone purchase.

Not at all. I like them better than the standard band. The holes help keep the air circulating reducing the sweat you get from the standard bands.

Yes, the new infograph faces are the same on the Nike edition. The Nike version gives you additional Nike watch faces not on the standard watch. You also have different band selections on the Nike. I always go with the Nike version because I like the extra faces and the sport loop bands.
