Hands on with the Nike+ Apple Watch Series 4

The Nike+ version of the latest Apple Watch launched a couple weeks behind the other models, but we now have ours to check it out and what makes it different than the standard aluminum.

Unlike the other models, where the aluminum and stainless steel come in white packaging and boxes, the Nike+ edition comes wrapped in black paper with black boxes.

Bundled with the watch is the usual 5W wall adapter and all-plastic magnetic charging puck — same as the standard aluminum version.

There are a few distinct differences between the Nike+ version and the others.

Apple Watch Series 4 Nike+ exclusive face

First, are two exclusive watch faces that have been updated with new colors to support Apple's latest Sports Band and Sport Loop colors. There is an analog and digital option, both of which have a non-removable Nike+ logo to jump directly into the Nike+ Run Club app.

Apple Watch Series 4 Nike+ ceramic back

On the rear ceramic back is an etching that designates it a special Nike+ edition of the Series 4. Plus, there are exclusive band options including a new reflective band, and styles that can come bundled.

Otherwise, the Nike+ version is the same as the others, including the cost. There are both 40mm and 44mm sizes, and GPS+Wi-Fi or cellular configurations.
