Until Nike came along, Apple Watch was struggling with sales that despite the wearable from the Cupertino-based tech giant having the largest market share, third quarter sales dipped 72 percent compared to a year ago. However, with positive review for the new Apple Watch Nike+, wearable buyers may reconsider and purchase the fitness tracker and timepiece in one.
Although the original Apple Watch has fitness tracking features, 18 months after its release, the market for wearable has become saturated that sales of smartwatches went down 52 percent for Q3, Barron’s Next reported. Should you buy Apple Watch Nike+?
Best Reason To Buy Smartwatch
However, a Forbes contributor pointed out that the Apple Watch Nike+ could yet be the best reason to finally buy a smartwatch. The business website cited the affordable price, the device being a second-generation wearable and the bold Nike Volt design as reasons why the watch is getting good reviews.
Mobilenapps described the Apple Watch Nike+ as “a fitness and tech love child.” The technology was provided by Apple, while user experience during exercise came from the sportswear brand.
While the Watch Series 2 and Apple Watch Nike+ are priced at $369 for the 38mm version and $399 for the 42mm version, as a second-generation device, Apple had sufficient time to fix the kinks of Watch 1.0. The watchOS 3 software provided a Nike-bespoke analog and digital watchface, but the integration provided direct access to the Nike+ app with an un-changeable complication.
GPS Tracking
Outdoor and indoor workouts are tracked by the GPS of the Apple Watch Nike+, or the accelerometer and heart rate monitor to log the exercise. And the wearable comes with the good points of the Apple Watch Series 2 such as the GPS, sturdy construction and waterproofing.
Although some consumers find the Apple Watch Nike+ brand frivolous, nevertheless Nike is one of the biggest global brands which many shoppers love. For the Apple Watch 2 Nike +, the Nike Volt lime color scheme and Nike Volt digital and analog watch faces are two of the outstanding features of the Apple Watch Nike+ band.
