Apple Watch Nike+ Review: Wearable Gives Two Extra Benefits Over Regular Apple Watch At No Extra Cost

Apple Watch Nike+ is a fitness and tech love child. Apple powers the technology while Nike takes care of the user experience while exercising.

Both the Watch Series 2 and Apple Watch Nike + are priced the same. However, the Apple Watch Nike+ changes a few small but significant things.

The Apple Watch Nike + comes with the lightest possible matte-finish aluminium casing like an entry level Apple Watch. You can buy the black or silver Apple Watch Nike+ with one of four different and unique Nike+ perforated fluoroelastomer watchbands.

The fluoroelastomer band is far more perforated than Apple's own Sport bands, and if you're running over a significant distance out in the heat or even exercising in a air-conditioned gym, the Nike+ band dissipates that heat far better - and it's also significantly lighter to start with.

Nike is a experienced player in the fitness industry. And it took the burden of introducing some cool and exclusive feature in Apple Watch Nike + through its Nike + Run Club App, which is half fitness tracker and half fitness motivator.

In the Watch's watchOS 3 software you get a Nike-bespoke analog and digital watchface. The integration gives direct access to the Nike+ app through an un-changeable complication.

It tracks your indoor and outdoor workouts using the Apple Watch's GPS or accelerometer and heart rate monitor to log your exercise.

The Apple Watch Nike+ gets everything good that the Apple Watch Series 2 does - all the same waterproofing and sturdy construction and GPS.

In short, you are getting an added feature and a Nike touch at no added cost. The Apple Watch Nike+ has the utility of that lightweight band with a sporty look.
