While the Apple Watch Series 2 ($180.52 at Amazon) is already more serious about fitness tracking than most smartwatches, the Apple Watch Nike+ really drives that point home. The Nike+ is a Series 2 at heart, but it's wrapped in cool Nike styling, comes with exclusive watch faces, and has a complication for launching the built-in Nike+ Run Club app. It's still a bit too basic for hard-core athletes looking for the advanced metrics you can get from a dedicated fitness tracker, but it's a solid choice for casual runners who prefer an Apple Watch with a sporty look. What's Different? The Nike+ comes in the same sizes and prices as the base Apple Watch Series 2. The 38mm model costs $369 and measures 1.5 by 1.3 by 0.4 inches (HWD), while the 42mm version is $399 and 1.7 by 1.4 by 0.4 inches. The most obvious difference between the Nike+ and the Series 2 model is the strap. It's made of the same strong elastomer silicone as Apple's Sport band, but it has perforations for better vent...
The Apple Watch Nike+ boasts sporty styling and some exclusive features that make it a solid alternative to the Series 2 smartwatch, especially for runners.
