Review Apple Watch Nike +: run, swim, buy

The model Apple Watch Nike Plus review is a kind of branded Apple Watch Series 2 and has all the characteristic features of the second series. Additionally, Nike + provides the user with proprietary software from Nike and a special kind of straps. Not very much, in general, so it can be considered that the text of the review, in fact, Apple Watch Series 2.
In fact, the naming of Apple smart watch can confuse anyone. See – at first were Apple’s Watch. The next step – Apple Watch Series 1. In fact, it is the same Apple Watch the first generation, but with a more nimble processor. Next, come the Apple Watch Series 2 – this is a completely new model with GPS and waterproof (discussed in detail in the text). Apple Watch Nike Plus review – model, released simultaneously with the Apple Watch Series 2 and is, in fact, a cosmetic modification of the second generation hours (Series 1 to the second generation do not apply).

APPEARANCE

We can not say that the Apple Watch the second generation somehow changed dramatically. Moreover, Apple has long taken the trend is not in the hardware, and software and services. As for design, the company has always paid great importance to, and therefore do not produce “one-day” design that tomorrow need to change to a completely different. Therefore, Apple Watch Nike Plus review products often appear the same in different generations (and what’s the difference?). So, Apple Watch Series 2 as a whole look exactly the same as the first version and one Series (improved first version).

WATCH APPLE WATCH NIKE + AND IPHONE 7 PLUS

Is that a model Apple Watch Nike Plus review, came to us for testing, still looks a little different. Firstly, it has a matte finish, dark-colored asphalt. In our view, this decision looks very “expensive” and is a great “brutal-male” response to gold and rose-gold case.

MATT BODY LOOKS AMAZING

Secondly, the model strap Apple Watch Nike Plus review also special, multi-perforated (which reduces fogging wrist). This strap can not be bought separately – exclusive.
The rest – it’s the same Apple Watch, and even straps on older versions of similar size (38 or 42 mm) are suitable. We checked.

FUNCTIONALITY

Major changes in the Apple Watch is not outside, but inside. In addition to higher performance processor can be found here GPS-receiver and waterproof casing. Let us examine each point in more detail.
Processor. Here it should be noted that the ideal smoothness at Apple Watch, unfortunately, it is not. More precisely, the smoothness is strongly dependent on the used applications and features. We are, for example, a little upset that when you select a different dial clock does not always respond to the gesture (swipe). Either reaction is delayed.
GPS. The main reason for adding GPS Watch – give the user the ability to measure their activity away from the smartphone. This is especially true for the model Nike +, containing special software for runners software (we’ll talk about it). Run with your phone in your pocket, you will agree, it is inconvenient. And swim – even more so.
Water resistant. Speaking of swimming. Yes, Apple Watch can now swim. Unlike most manufacturers, who claim water resistance rather as a marketing piece, at the same time are strongly advised not to drive with the clock (we mean the smart watch) into the water, Apple says plainly: conducted multiple tests for swimmers to watch learned to determine how much and how you sailed.

Especially for swimmers, engineers have come up with a system that allows not to get wet in speaker and microphone. Its essence is that the speaker and microphone are protected by a membrane which, firstly, does not pass water, and secondly is able to vibrate, pushing water from the body openings. So, it does not hurt the appearance of hours, and the functionality of the speaker and the microphone is preserved. Although it seemed to us that the speaker began, maybe a little quieter. Little bit.
But the most important thing is that with the advent of all of the functions of the zoo did not deteriorate autonomy, rather the opposite. True the supplied charging cable is now two times shorter.
In addition to the appearance and straps, version Apple Watch Series 2 Nike + different pre-installed software. This includes as a special deal with the trademark Nike print, and application for runners.
The latter is a kind of social and motivational service. You run, trying to post the results of its run, you can see the results of other runners that motivate you. Also, the application periodically tells something like “let’s run” or “it is necessary to warm up.”
However, if you do not like to run, the application does you will not interfere, even reminders. Why then need a watch is version Nike +? We just think that they are very cool look, and not just an exclusive strap (which is also practical), but also the mat body. By matt iPhone 7 Plus is ideal (see. Photo at the beginning of the article).

APPLE PAY

We did not write a separate article about Apple Pay, however, tell you about it still stands. First of all, we did not expect that Apple really so soon launch its service of payments in Russia – immediately remove all hats edited. But most importantly, Apple Watch – the most convenient way to use Apple Pay, much more convenient iPhone itself.
What do you need to work with Apple Pay? First of all, the bank card supported by the service. In Europe, from November 15, supported not only MasterCard cards but And VISA. As for the banks – their number is constantly growing, the details you can visit the website of the bank or on the Apple official European website. Then you need to go to the Wallet application on the iPhone and add the card (just take a picture of yourself holding an iPhone and then enter the secret code of three digits). The app will also offer to use it and to pay for using the Apple Watch – should agree.

After that, everything is pretty simple. When we need to pay for the purchase, and the store has a terminal supporting contactless payments Pay Pass (or explicitly written that supported Apple Pay), twice is enough to press the wide button to the right end of the Apple Watch Nike Plus review – watch will automatically switch to Apple mode Pay and if we added only one card, it will automatically be active. If you add multiple cards have here on the screen, select the desired or leave the one that was the default.
Now the hardest thing – it is necessary to briefly lean against the clock screen to the terminal screen. We say “most difficult” because according to the provisions of the payment terminal and the configuration it can be a pretty handy, and not so. Sometimes you have to “turn out” hand.
However, the advantage of paying for hours that you can never get anything – any wallet, no phone, and clock, and so on hand. Double-clicking on the button, leaned against the clock to the terminal – and payment was done. You can leave the wallet at home. And even if you lose your iPhone or hours, or you get robbed, an attacker can not use your money. Apple Watch is blocked immediately after losing contact with the body, and they can unlock any iPhone with any code. Sam iPhone at the same time also has to first unlock – or code, or by applying a fingerprint.

IN TOTAL

Apple Watch Series 2 – logical development of the first generation, clearly proving that Apple has chosen the right strategy for its smart watch. It’s proven and sales: almost all later entered the market, Apple smart watches out there has managed to become the leader by a wide margin. Incidentally, something similar happened with the first iPhone.
The second generation of Apple Watch has got almost everything that was lacking the first: GPS, waterproof, more nimble processor. Unfortunately, the thickness is not reduced hours – this upgrade also arises. Hopefully, the thickness of the Apple Watch the 3 of us appreciates more.
Also, once again, we note that Apple Watch Nike Plus review – the best way to use Apple Pay, which, in turn, is by far the most convenient way to make payments.

Apparently, Apple Watch owners nose best

Apple Watch 2 29
While you won’t see it any Apple Watch manuals or user guides, apparently there’s a body part coming in especially useful for owners of the preeminent smartwatch.
Wall Street Journal report catches up with Apple Watch connoisseurs who’re using their noses rather than digits to control the device.
46 per cent of users polled by the Wristy research firm claimed they had used their use as an input device, while 28 per cent wanted to give it a try.
While precise data input won’t be possible using one’s hooter, it seems to be proving useful.
This new fangled way to go hands-free is coming in handy (excuse the pun) for turning off alarms and dismissing notifications while wearers' paws are full, dirty, or bundled up in gloves.
Some users are reporting opting for nose control while showering or visiting the bathroom.
“My nose was dry and I was surprised that it worked,” said Wristy’s Bernard Desarnauts. “I was almost expecting that it wouldn’t.”
Have you discovered an extra use for the nose other smelling, resting sunglass and erm… eskimo kisses? Share your thoughts below.
