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.
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.
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.
If you haven't already, check out our review of the Apple Watch Series 4 to see what to expect with the Nike+ version.
Where to buy
Nike is currently accepting orders for the Nike+ Series 4 devices, with free delivery in an estimated two to four business days or next day delivery available for an additional $25.
Apple authorized resellers B&H Photo and Abt.com are also accepting orders for the Apple Watch Series 4 Nike+, with Abt.com currently reporting a two to four week delay. The perk is the lack of sales tax collected in most states, with B&H collecting sales tax in New York and New Jersey and Abt.com collecting sales tax in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin (see here for details).

Just unboxed mine...Nike Edition...
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP....this is driving me crazy...whenever I click on a complication from the watch face, this grey box which i am assuming is a notification...in the photo, I don't currently have any notifications...
However, when I did, and i clicked on it, the box just disappeared without showing me the notification...it was only the bottom half of the notification when it appeared...
Now every time I click on a complication the empty grey box appears and only disappears when i interact with the watch...I tried messing with the notification settings and nothing seems to resolve this issue...this did not happen with WatchOS5 on my series 2...
UPDATE: Problem resolved...i powered off then on and the grey box no longer appears
I was very disappointed that you didn't show the Nike watch face with smaller numbers, and with complications. So far, I haven't seen anyone do this.
It looks like the Nike+ is still only available in Space Gray and Silver.
