Nike Vs Standard version

[SayCheese]

What is the benefit of buying a Nike version of the AW over the standard version? They are both the same price, I don't see the difference other than some different straps.

I have a Nike series 2 but only because I liked the yellow and black strap.

Nike watch faces only available on nike watch. Different bands

Is that it? If it is I guess it's why they don't have a price increase on the Nike version.

Yep, that's it. And a small Nike swoosh+ logo on the bottom around the heart rate sensor ha

I’ve always had the thought of I would rather have the extra faces and not use them then to not have them and want them. Why not.

I got it for the band. I've never used the faces or Nike app.

That's the reason I got my series 2 as the Nike version was because I liked the band. I just didn't know if there were any other 'extras' for getting the Nike version.

It’s really just the strap for me. I live in a tropical climate and the Nike band is better at dealing with sweat than other bands.

That’s a good reason too.

I've had a VERY small difference in Siri between the Standard and Nike versions.

Standard version: "I'm going for a run" - opens Workout app, starts a run immediately.
Nike version with NRC: "I'm going for a run" - opens NRC
Nike version without NRC: "I'm going for a run" - opens Workout app, does not start a run.

I've not managed to convince Siri to start a run on the Workout app for me without additional taps on the Nike version.

I have the Nike Series 4 and the only differences I know of are a unique Nike band and Nike watch faces. There's also some Nike-specific packaging, too. Other than those differences, it's really just like the standard Series 4 aluminum model.

I got mine mainly because of the band and I do use a couple of the Nike faces from time to time. plus there was no price difference so I figured why not.

If you’re going to get a series 5 I know the Nike series 4 launched a few weeks later than the standard series 4. That was the only real (minor) negative I found.

Ah ok. I didn't know that.
Something to keep in mind.

If only you could buy the faces seperately.

Yeah that’s the selling point for the Nike branded ones along with the bands

Like others here I bought mine because I’m of the mindset that I’d rather get more for my money, so why not?

I do really wish Apple would allow you to specify your own body and strap combination upon purchase, however, as I personally prefer the silver aluminium case to the space grey version but do not like the platinum strap that came with it (so that is sitting in the box brand-new).

I bought a Nike Plus Black/Volt strap secondhand but in mint condition as I to believe that the holes in the strap help when exercising or in hot conditions.

I have other metal straps too for when I want a more classy / professional look.
