Q: What is the advantage of Apple Watch Nike+ over Apple Watch Sport?  Vice versa?

Hi

Apple Watch Nike+ features an exclusive Nike Sport Band, two exclusive Nike watch faces (along with all of the standard watch faces) and closer integration with the Nike+ Run Club app.

Apple Watch Sport and Apple Watch Nike+ otherwise offer the same internal hardware features and the same standard features of watchOS 3.

More information:

  • To watch just the Apple Watch Nike+ segment, start viewing at 45 mins, 30 seconds.

So will Apple/Nike offer the app to all series 2 (or even series 1) owners?  I would buy watch now if I knew I can get the app at a later time. . . in 2 months, my impulse to buy may dissipate. 

The Nike+ Run Club app can be installed on any Apple Watch.

You're welcome!

Note that all Apple Watch bands, including those purchased as separate accessories, can be used across all models of the same case size (38mm or 42mm), including Apple Watch Nike+.

Jonathan,

I think you answered my question in the thread above but I wanted to double confirm. Apple Watch 2 Nike has 2 dedicated watch faces as well as the standard watch faces. Therefore if I would get additional straps it would be looking like the apple watch 2 sport if I am not using the Nike watch face. Since I am interested to use this watch for running then waiting for Nike version is better as this watch has some dedicated features I can't get if I buy the sports version and install the Nike app.
