Apple Watch Nike+ Edition review: A smartwatch for Nike lovers

With Nike's Run Club app built in, the Nike+ Edition also includes a more breathable strap and two exclusive Nike watch faces.

A bright display, onboard GPS and waterproof to 50 meters. Integration with Nike+ Run Club. Comfortable strap and comes with two exclusive Nike watch faces.

GPS battery life is short. No altimeter for measuring elevation. Workout data can't be exported to other services. Lacks always-on display.

If you're a loyal Nike user, this is the Apple Watch to get, but it's really just an Apple Watch Series 2 with a few minor changes. There are cheaper alternatives for pure fitness and run tracking.

Apple Watch Nike+

The Apple Watch Nike+ boasts sporty styling and some exclusive features that make it a solid alternative to Apple's Series 2 smartwatch, especially for runners.

Ventilated watchband. Exclusive Nike watch faces and features. Lots of third-party apps.

Expensive. Inaccurate pace measurements in testing. No heart rate zones. Lacks continuous heart rate monitoring when not working out.

The Apple Watch Nike+ isn't all that different from the Apple Watch Series 2. And that's not a bad thing. Both watches offer fast performance, sharp displays, and a fantastic selection of third-party apps. The Nike+ just offers some exclusive Nike...

Review: Apple Watch Nike+ isn't much different from Series 2, and that's OK

What's the difference between the Apple Watch Series 2 and the special edition Apple Watch Nike+? Not much, including the price, which makes the exclusive Nike version of the wearable fitness device a solid candidate for runners.

As far as corporate partnerships and branding go, the Apple Watch Nike+ is about as inoffensive as you can get.

Running with the Apple Watch Nike+

I'm not trying to brag or anything (I am), but I comfortably ran a half marathon wearing the first version of the 42mm Apple Watch with a classy, stainless steel band. So, when I heard about Nike's version of the Apple Watch, it's not like I thought,...

Apple Watch Nike+ review: a new and effective take on running watches

World's two most recognisable brands combine for a triumph of branding… and a very decent, social-driven running watch

Exceptional strap design ; Fast GPS pick-up ; Nike + app and watch faces ; Excellent social elements

Slow to sync to iPhone ; Heart rate data not fully integrated ; Lacks the in-depth analysis of dedicated watches

Apple Watch Nike+ review: Great smartwatch, just not a perfect runner's watch

We can all agree that the Apple Watch is one of the best smartwatches out there. Its user interface is slicker than many rivals, it works seamlessly and exclusively with the iPhone and comes wrapped in high-quality, understated hardware. The Nike+...

Display quality, quality of build, water protection, comfortable strap, no GPS lag

Nike Run Club app, price, battery life, strap adjustability, lacks always-on display

The Nike+ Apple Watch Series 2 is a great smartwatch. It offers seamless integration with the iPhone, high quality hardware, a great display and eye-catching sporty band.
