Nike’s Apple Watch Does Running Right

Need a little extra motivation to get you up and running? Check out a special edition of the Apple Watch featuring Nike!

Apple has teamed up with Nike to release a special edition of the Apple Watch. It’s called the Apple Watch Nike+ and it has special features to get you outside and on a run. There are unique watch faces that let you use one tap to start a run, special Siri commands to start a Nike+ run and even sweat proof watch bands.

I love to run and truly believe that Apple has done the best job for runners with this edition of the watch. It has built in GPS, it is waterproof and you can even store your music on board so you can accurately track your run even without your phone.

I took a little run with the watch in Santa Monica with Nike+ Run Club Head Coach Blue Benadum. He has completed 59 marathons which is no easy task. Check him out on Instagram for some extra motivation.

The Apple Watch Nike+ edition starts at around $370 but if you don’t want to spring for a new wearable device, I’m a huge fan of the Nike Run Club app and it will track your run and provide feedback using your phone.
