I do not mean to sound dramatic but...... I have been using a Nike edition series 5 since 2019 and love the exclusive face that has the digital time really large in the middle with the date circling around it at the top plus room for four more complications in each corner. I love it because you can see the digital time really large but still have plenty of room for complications.

A friend of mine bought a titanium series 7 and never uses it so I bought it from him for a great deal considering it still has over two years of AppleCare it is in perfect condition. However at the time I didn't realize how much I would miss the Nike watch face. I spent a solid hour yesterday going through every single face to try and find something and did not find anything that comes even close to my favorite nike setup.

Can someone help me am I missing something? It's crazy to me that the average person who walks into a store interested in a watch and doesn't even realize that the Nike edition exists will never get to see these faces that I think are far superior to the non-nike.

You are in luck. The brand new WatchOS 9 that came out yesterday adds all the Nike Watch faces to the other models for the first time ever! Just update to WatchOS 9 right now and you can get the Nike faces!

Awesome thanks... I read some where that there are series 8 exclusive faces.... is that true? Seems odd considering 7 is so similar.

I don't think that's true. There is an Ultra exclusive face I believe, but I believe all the faces from the Series 8 are in the 7 once you download WatchOS 9. Also the Hermes edition of the Series 7 and 8 have unique faces and those are NOT in Watch OS 9, you have to buy the Hermes.

Cool thanks again... I was actually thinking about the Hermes just after you had informed me but baby steps I guess.
 
I’ve gotten the stainless steels the last few years. The only face I really used was modular and it got boring. I’m so happy to have the Nike faces back. They are so much better.

You’re lucky. I’ve looked for a 41mm Series 7 titanium edition Apple Watch, but they all seem gone. Great find!

I agree with you. I use a Series 7 Hermes but the only other watch that tempted me was the Nike because I loved those exclusive Nike faces. Especially Bounce.

Baby steps? Nah, this isn’t like learning how to ride a motorcycle lol. Go for the glory. Only way to get SBSS and the buttery supple leather bands are second to none. If you have the funds, go for it!
