The Nike Apple Watch Series 7 is very similar to the standard version, but it comes bundled with a Nike-branded band as well as an exclusive new watch face. Here's how they look in the real world.
Exclusive Nike watch faces
As we touched on in our Apple Watch Series 7 hands-on video, there are three new exclusive watch faces. We have the Modular Duo and Contour faces that come to all versions of the Apple Watch Series 7, and the Nike has a new face called Bounce.
The new Bounce face has a large design to make full use of the more expansive displays. It reacts to your touch and wrist movements, bouncing around the screen.
This face only has one complication available, located directly below the time. It's locked in as a shortcut to the Nike app. Just tap the Nike swoosh and it opens the Nike Run Club app.
This joins the other Nike watch faces, Nike Analog, Nike Compact, Nike Digital, and Nike Hybrid.

Nike bands
When ordering the Nike version of the Apple Watch Series 7, users can only choose one of the Nike-branded bands. To be clear, all bands will fit the Nike version of the Apple Watch, but only Nike bands can be bundled at the time of purchase.
With the new 2021 Apple Watch, users can choose from the popular Nike Sports Band or the new Nike Sport Loop. There are new colors of the Sport Band — Olive Gray/Cargo, Magic Ember/Crimson, and Midnight Navy/Mystic Navy — and the Nike Sport Loop is available for the first time in Cargo Khaki, Summit White, and black. The previous version of the Nike Sport Loop didn't have the Nike Swoosh logo emblazoned on the outside.
We chose to bundle our Nike Apple Watch Series 7 with the Magic Ember and Crimson fluoroelastomer Sport Band, which looks great with the new Starlight color.
The only other differentiation between the Nike Apple Watch Series 7 and the standard version is a small Nike logo etched into the back.
Where to buy
The Apple Watch Series 7 is available for purchase from popular Apple resellers, with AT&T knocking $200 off at press time when you buy two Apple Watches.

Not a huge Nike fan by any means, but have been buying this version since Series 3 because the perforated sports band allows much better airflow around the wrist (vastly decreasing sweaty/itchy wrist for me personally). And for the same price as the standard model with solid sports band; win/win for me.
