Apple Watch Nike bands!

I mainly bought the (since refunded) Nike+ Apple Watch Series 2 for the black/volt Sport Band, despite pairing with Space Grey. Happy it's now available separately, even though while for the past 3+ months I've been happily wearing a knock-off black Milanese Loop! Quite happy with black straps to go with a Silver Watch.
My band arrived! I had the metal link bracelet on prior to installing this one. It's obviously lighter and feels pretty good. I really like the look on the SS Silver too.
I like this one better than the black on black. The colors really pop on this one. Nice.
I'm sure it's different when you wear it, but looking at the pics the Sport Bands suit the Alu case better to me.
1st 24 hours review: Nike band (Black/Anthracite) does not have the rich/thick/substantial feeling of the White sport band...it is more in-line with my Midnight blue. Very light weight (prob due to the holes). Despite not feeling as substantial as White, it fits extremely well...significantly better than my Midnight, same as White. It could be that my other sport bands are "stretched" since they are older.
I am definitely keeping the Nike band for my SS.

Took my first run today with my new black/volt band. Love it! Way nicer than the black/gray knockoff band I had before and looks great with the stainless steel.
Anyone with a gold aluminum Watch get a Nike band? I've been trying to find a pic-I think the platinum white on white would look great with the gold.
I have the gold Series 1 and picked up the Anthracite/Black Nike band. It looks great. Haven't seen the gold alu with the Platinum/White one anywhere yet though.
No it's not just you. I thought I was going crazy the other night until I compared the pin hole placement on the Nike band with my regular midnight blue sport band. The holes on the Nike band are slightly closer to the point where the band connects to the watch than on the regular sport band. It's not a huge difference, maybe half the width of a hole (a few mms). But it's enough to make the band feel slightly tighter when used on the same pin position as a sport band. Personally, it's not enough of a difference to be uncomfortable. But, I did notice it.
Excellent! For me, that extra half hole tightness is just perfect!
Happy camper with the Nike.
Ah lucky you! For me, the regular sport band is perfect and the Nike band is just a tad tight. Not enough to make me return it, especially since I only wear it for workouts and the extra tightness is probably better in that case.Excellent! For me, that extra half hole tightness is just perfect!
I'd love to see pictures.
I was traumatised when they stopped selling the black leather loop as that's what I use with my SBSS and I love the combo and am fearful of what will happen when the leather loop breaks or ages. The SBSS link is crazy expensive and isn't an ideal fit for my wrist, and I don't like the classic buckle or whatever it's called.
Both the sports strap and the leather loop get quite sweaty if I exercise so I like the idea of a breathable strap. (Oh, and I hate the asymmetry of the Milanese loop, so that's out.)

Hmm. I thought I'd like that. Now I'm not so sure.
I'd love to see a SBSS with the grey Nike sports. I think that might be a winner.

That is perfection! #jealous
I cannot tell if your Watch is a Sport or SBSS. I have the SBSS and I would like to see more pictures with the new Anthracite/Black Nike band. I already bought the Black/Volt and Black/Gray knockoffs, but I might be convinced to spend another $50, if the combo looks good. I use the Nike knock-offs for running and occasionally on the weekends.

Agreed. The green color is close but still looks noticeably different in some lighting.
Got my Anthracite/Black Nike band on Monday. Wearing it on my SB Sport watch. It is fine and comfortable. Won't bother posting a pic because there are already plenty of them here.
