(ThyBlackMan.com) A limited edition Apple Watch Series 2 smartwatch is now available as Apple Watch NikeLab. The new watch is now available exclusively at select Nike stores. For the first time, you won’t be able to buy an Apple Watch from the official Apple stores (except Apple Watch Store at Isetan Shinjuku, Tokyo). Here’s what makes Apple Watch Series 2 and Apple Watch NikeLab different from each other.
Design
The standard Apple Watch when combined with Nike’s exclusive Nike Sports Band brings the Apple Watch NikeLab. It is undoubtedly a great deal for fitness conscious Apple fans. This is not the first time when Apple and Nike together introduced a watch, the
Nike+ is also a result of this partnership.
In terms of design, you can expect nothing more than a neutral tone sports band that comes in light cream and black color. The band features NikeLab: Innovation x Innovators logo on the pin. The case is available in Space Grey color and when combined with Nike’s black and white sports band, it gives a relaxing look.
Features
In terms of features, the standard Apple Watch lacks exclusive Nike apps and watch faces, of course. Just like its predecessor Nike+, the Apple Watch NikeLab also comes in 38mm and 42mm case sizes. The Apple Watch Series 2 limited edition brings all the features of its predecessor.
The watch sports the same integration with the exclusive Siri commands, Nike+ Run Club app, GPS, brighter display and water resistance capability. There’s no difference in the processor as the limited edition is also powered by the same dual core processor. The operating system watchOS3, on which the Series 2 smartwatch runs, the limited edition also runs on the same.
?One of the most interesting things about Series 2 watch is that user can take the watch in water up to 50 meters, which is obviously a pretty long distance. However, this is not very useful feature because you cannot consider wearing at the times of deep diving. The water resistance is only good for swimmers and frequent travelers.
The back of the smartwatch sports a Nike swoosh. The Apple Watch Series 2 limited Edition NikeLab is an ideal companion for people who are more interested in running than any other activities.
Price
From April 27, the limited edition Apple Watch NikeLab is on sale. The price tags of the watches as mentioned on the Nike’s official website suggest that you can get the 38mm watch at the price of US$369 and the 42mm model for US$399. Just like the other Apple products, you can also avail the Apple Care+ coverage for an additional cost.
Specifications
If you didn’t follow the release of Apple’s standard Watch Series 2, here’s what you should know about its features.
The smartwatch comes equipped with a built-in GPS and GLONASS. It also supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity. One of the highly appreciated features of the Apple Watch is the heart rate sensor, which is present in the limited edition as well. As far as the sensors are concerned, you will find accelerometer, gyroscope and ambient light sensor in the smartwatch.
When In Use
From workout to accessing phone features, Apple’s standard Watch Series 2 is one of the leading smartwatches to connect your iPhone with. The device notifies the users about any messages, calls and emails. But this is not the only thing Apple Watch can do.
The new edition watch is also a great travel companion, as it can support many travel apps that include, but are not limited to navigation, currency converters and apps that help users in exploring destinations on the go.
From gym to shopping, everywhere the Apple Watch Series 2 can come handy. And for the fitness freaks, NikeLab adds a lot more to explore and enjoy.
