So, the only difference between a Nike and a standard AW3 LTE once the Nike App has been downloaded is the custom watch face and enclosed band?   Cosmetic stuff?

That said -- my AW exercise app effectively locked up on me twice this afternoon.  Actually, what happened was I paused the watch but, when I went to "resume" it, instead of seeing resume I saw "pause".  But, since the exercise app was already paused that was meaningless and there was no way to resume the run.   I had to end the workout and start a new one.
...  There might be a legitimate explanation, but right now it sounds like a bug.  An irritating one.

Have the Nike+ model, and it made sense to me just for the sport loop -- it's definitely better than buying a GPS-only model and picking up a loop after the fact.  And yeah, the 16GB of storage and ceramic back make it a good compromise between the regular aluminum and steel models.
