I just bought one of the nike+ ones to replace my year old fitbit. Built in GPS + Waterproof is what finally sold me.
Unfortunately and I'm guessing related to the story it is expected to be 10 business days from order for it to actually ship(across all models). Pick up in store was even longer with it being over 20 days at all the Apple stores I checked.
- flukus 10y agoWaterproof or "waterproof"? My fitbit charge is "waterproof" but not recommended for swimming. What's the software like too? From a brief look it seems like nike+ is mostly focused on running which fitbit has been moving beyond.
- sitharus 10y agoSeries 2 is waterproof and rated for swimming.
- sanswork 10y agoWaterproof to 50m. I'm replacing a charge HR which isn't even "waterproof" as far as I was aware(pretty sure they said to not even shower with it in the instructions). To answer your second question: I got the nike+ because I've started to get more into running lately. The only difference between the nike+ model and the others is a special interface for the nike run club app and a different wrist strap so not a huge difference but enough to make me choose it.
- chrisseaton 10y agoI'm having trouble figuring out what the Nike+ running app on the new watch does. Does it do things like mapping of your route, graphing it, showing elevation and pace on sections, things like that? Can you run programs for intervals or hills sessions or advanced things like that? I tried it in an Apple store and it just seemed like a stopwatch, but I wasn't sure if I was just not looking in the right place.
- sanswork 10y agoYeah it will map your route using the built in GPS and show you Time/Distance/Pace/HR. I don't think it handles splits yet. I am doing one of the my coach training programs on the phone so I'm hoping it is seamless to the watch but I don't know for sure yet. If it sucks though I can always just go back to Runkeeper. :)

- dpandey 10y agoApple watch starts at $269. Apple Watch Nike at $369. I'm really impressed by how Apple is able to charge an extra $100 just by allowing a custom app to run on the home screen. Brilliant!
- winter_blue 10y agoNo, Series 1 starts at $269. All Series 2 models start at $369, and the Nike models are priced at the same price points as other Series 2 models.
- jsjohnst 10y agoYou're confused. Apple Watch version 2 starts at $369. Apple Watch Nike+ (which is also a version 2 device) also starts at $369. It's the Apple Watch version 1 (not to be confused with the original Apple Watch, which was discontinued, despite being obviously confusing to just about anyone) is what starts at $269.
- dpandey 10y agoThat makes way more sense. Thanks for correcting. PS: I momentarily thought maybe Apple had 'pulled a Siri' on the Watch. When the iPhone 4S came out, Apple deleted Siri from the App Store so only new (4S and later) devices had it. Pretty sure it increased upgrade rate.
- jsjohnst 10y agoReally annoys me that Apple made the versioning so confusing for the watch. As a WatchOS developer, it's really important to know there's three distinct versions, but I argue even a consumer should probably know (especially if buying used).
- dpandey 10y agoNo wonder I was confused (and I'm a WatchOS developer).
