Nike or not?

[Louloud]

I'm looking to buy a serie 3 apple watch with LTE and I don't know between Nike models or regular. I'm not a jogger but I like the look of the nike models. Beside the look, is there many differences between the two models?

Just the Nike watch faces and the 'Run' app being pre-installed

The Nike also has some exclusive bands

It really just comes down to whether you like the Nike watch bands and/or the Nike watch faces. Otherwise it is identical to the aluminum series 3.

Thanks...I think I'll go for the Nike model then...

What I did is bought the Nike+ version with the black sports loop and sold the band on eBay. Offset $90 worth of the cost of the watch.

Got it for the Nike faces and new band, still bought a Nike+ black/volt elastomer band, since don’t want the sport loop I got with the space gray to stink. Especially since I wear it to work after my morning runs.

Bought a normal AW watch then picked up the nike sports band at an Apple Store. It is my favorite band - the holes allow breathability when jogging - makes a noticeable difference.

What others forgot to mention is that not only do you get extra watch faces but also extra colors for the watch faces.

The Nike+ Apple Watch itself is fantastic. The sports band with the holes is very comfortable during workouts, and the exclusive watch faces are fun. But the Nike+ app itself is garbage. Unless you limit the distance of your runs to 5K or less, be prepared for a very glitchy experience. The app simply doesn't perform as advertised.

I have same doubt.
I have an offert, after some month, to take AW3 at 349€ instead 409€ .
I have doubt about nike and normal.
Cna i use same bands? Where can i found some nike's watchface screenshots?

I was debating the same thing and went with the Nike version simply because of the band & extra watch faces. Plus, if I ever decide to use the Nike Run feature, it there!
