Impressed by new Nike faces; considering switch

[PatrickNSF]

We recently replaced our son’s broken Nike Series with a Series 5 and I’m quite impressed with the new Nike watch faces, so much so that I’m debating going back to aluminum myself after having a SB and SS (for a short time) for Series 4.

The Nike Hybrid watch face, itself, almost seems worth the switch. It seems to combine some of the best elements of Infograph with a large digital time readout, which looks like it works really well with the AOD display.

Has anyone been using the new Nike watch faces and have any feedback? I’m reluctant to give up the sapphire screen of the SS, but I’ve never been 100% satisfied with any of the standard watch faces since Series 0.

The Nike watch faces are good looking but the Nike complication is an annoyance. You cannot remove or change it, so it's a waste of one complication slot, and every time you accidentally touch the complication, a popup will appear stating "You do not have this completely useless app installed. Would you want to install it this time?" Of course if the Nike running app is something you like using, then you might be fine having that complication there, but in every other case it's just plain annoying. I had Nike Series 3, but eventually stopped using those watch faces for this reason and have now vanilla Series 5.

I don’t use the Nike running app so it’s a wasted complication for me. However, in the new hybrid watch face it doesn’t really take the pace of another complication so it’s not a huge deal to have it on the watch face.

The Nike hybrid watch face is styled similar to Infograph but with fewer complications...and (for me) easier to read.

I agree completely. It‘s a shame that the other Watches do not have any Face whatsoever with a) large digital time (which is indeed very nice for AOD) AND b) a significant number of complications. Also, I think I would absolutely love the light weight of the Nike model. Alas, the Stainless looks so much better to me that I can probably never go back to aluminium.

I use them and love them. The nike run complication is just the nike swoosh which you would tap if you wanted to use. I don't see it as being an issue and until I read the other poster didn't even realize that it was the nike run club complication. Very unobtrusive, in my opinion.

I’ve been enjoying the Nike hybrid watch faces. I have/had been using the infograph faces as I like to have a lot of complications. The Nike hybrid doesn’t have quite as many complications so I have created a couple alternate faces using the Nike hybrid that I switch to as needed. I like how the Nike hybrid can be color coordinated with my Nike bands.

Can someone post a pic of the NIKE faces? I want the titanium watch partly for the sapphire crystal. Also, I am all team Apple Watch, but I plan on doing spartan races again starting in March. I love my data and there is no way I would run a Spartan with my Apple Watch. I see a Fenix 6 in my future.
