I'm quite sure that Apple didn't mention anything about watch face availability for the Nike+ model in the Keynote. Is there some other place on the website where they say this?

I'm quite sure the Nike+ model will be an abject failure with lots of returns if you cannot select the Mickey Mouse face and have him announce the time. Why would Apple limit the watch faces to only Nike?

1. Are all watch faces available with standard Apple Watch 2 available on Nike+ watch?

All faces should be available,  except the exclusive faces from other special edition watches such as the HERMÉS edition watch.

2. If you buy the watch on finance, can you then use Apple gift cards towards the monthly payments?

 

No. Financing goes through an independent credit institution, and i doubt they'd accept gift cards as payment.

3. Is there anything at all available on standard Apple Watch 2 that isn't available on the Nike+?

 

 

No. In In fact The Nike+ gets exclusive faces and complications for workouts the other watches do not get.

4. Do all Bluetooth headphones work with the Apple Watch Nike+?

Most if not all should work with it. Standard Bluetooth connection.

You are so wordy.

LOL, that's true. The return line would be just as long as the line of people trying to buy the iPhone 7.

I've seen posts from Jonathan UK stating that all will be available, but I'm not sure where that information is coming from. I've not seen anything mentioned except the special faces.

There is no reason it will be any different than the Hermes, which had the Hermes faces plus all others.

Yes, I'm not sure where he got that information, either.

It seems pretty likely, sure, but AFAIK there has been no official announcement.

I am. Yes.

And I agree. There is no reason to believe the Nike+ watch will not be able to use all available standard faces.

It would have to be an arbitrary software limitation on the iPhone for no real reason if this was the case. And I don't see there being any reason to limit the faces you can use.

You get an exclusive face, and complications, but that should not limit the usage of other faces.

Thinking of buying the new Apple Watch Nike+ but have a few questions first.

 

1. Are all watch faces available with standard Apple Watch 2 available on Nike+ watch?

Hi

Apple Store has advised that Apple Watch Nike+ has all of the standard Apple Watch faces and associated complications, in addition to the Nike exclusives. Should you wish to verify this directly before ordering, contact details are available here:

• http://www.apple.com/contact

Note that product knowledge may vary by advisor (you may even be advised to ask again on a different day).

No. Although you may earn Apple Store Gift Cards as rewards from the financing provider based on your spend, they (or any other such cards that you may have) cannot be offset against the cost of monthly repayments. More information about financing via Barclaycard (US) is available here:

Unlike standard models, Apple Watch Nike+ cannot be purchased as a preconfigured case and band combination with any other Apple Watch bands; it is available only with the exclusive Nike bands. However, any other Apple band (whether bought as an accessory or already owned from a previous model) can still be used with the Nike+ model.

Using certain Siri commands on the Nike+ model may automatically default to the Nike+ Run Club app (forming part of the close integration of that app). For example, "start a run" will start a run in the Nike+ app whereas, on the current Apple Watch, it launches the built-in Workout app. (Apple has not yet disclosed what the other commands are).

Close app integration, bands and exclusive watch faces aside, Apple Store advises that the watches otherwise offer the same Series 2 and watchOS features. Again, you can confirm this yourself with Apple.

4. Do all Bluetooth headphones work with the Apple Watch Nike+?

Apple Watch Series 2 (including the Nike+ model) includes Bluetooth 4.0 wireless connectivity.

Whilst it should be compatible with most headphones that use the A2DP profile - including via backward compatibility with headphones that support later Bluetooth versions - it will not support any features that require those later versions on the paired device.

Also, some headphones that use the A2DP profile may still not be compatible with Apple Watch (for example, if they also include their own, built-in media player).
