wta guys, series 1 vs series 3 - any major different? plan to get 1 for xmas gift to wifu.
pricing different is $100 - which is not that significant if you ask me.

also, aside nike band vs normal s3, nth major difference as well right?
+ recommend to get apple care = 2 yrs warranty + 2 times accident dmg @$98 per service.

Hi, S1 if for normal use no problem, however the speed is not good as S3.

Display comparison, S1 = OLED Retina(450 nits) S3 = Second OLED Retina(1000 nits)

GPS comparison, S1 = no S3 = yes

Barometric comparison , S1 = no S3 = yes

water resistant, S1 = splash resistant S3 = up to 50m

Siri, S1 = no S3 = yes

Nike edition will have one more nike interface as wallpaper(they said can download, but I never try that)

I am using nike band, very nice for sport use. you can get from taboo as well.

Thanks for the detail comparison.
Is the apple care necessary?

*bought it from apple store - 42mm black+black. i must say, the most enjoyable about Apple, is the buying process.
one helluva service. its very pack tonight due to xmas around the corner, waiting time around 15 min, the one that put me into the system waiting list did follow up for me at 15min and get someone to take down my order.

after that, pay and that's it. no invoice/receipt etc. everything emailed to me. Best CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE EVER!!! thumbup.gif
Iphone X 256gb still out of stock at the flagship store sweat.gif

not only malaysia, even singapore still didnt received LTE version, so not putting any hope on the lte version.

is just that why spotify didn't have the apps for the apple watch, something we can listen during offline.
*
even SG not advance enough to get the LTE version.
i also blur why the sales person did not ask me whether LTE or non-LTE version.....mana tau...USA only doh.gif

Any review on your AW? Like what do you like or hate about it? I have been thinking for so long, but havent get one for myself.
*
love it? the quality & the smoothness. 1st time app syncing from phone is fast as well. the lowest brightness and auto off-on is really on point. not much to complain about.
hate it? not on my wrist laugh.gif / the major one, whatsapp is not officially support on AW after so long.

with waterproof as well, i don't think you can go wrong with AW where quality and performance is there for the price you pay.

*my thinking - on the first few AW series, i think its really a waste of $$. with the amount you paid, you can get equally a good automatic sapphire watch - honestly, around RM1.7k, you really can get good watch especially you got friend working in those distro company. so, who's the one with sound mind will get a watch that scare of screen broken and need to charge few days once.

what change my mind is, after googling around and reading for around 2 days, decided to drop in Apple store and play with it (for half hour).....i'm just blown off by the smoothness and the quality of it + waterproof. hence decided its the best gift for my waifu.

Glad she like it and it surprise her with this AW as x'mas gift which never cross her mind since i'm kinda bashing AW so hard previously tongue.gif

Just bought my AW3 yesterday. First time owning it after skipping AW1 and AW2.
Like it very much so far.

What is your all favorite watch apps so far?
Beside when u all say whatapp not supported what you all means? I still can receive whatapp message and reply to those message. Did I miss something? Just curious.
Because someone recommends WhatChat for Whatapp
But it is paid app so I didn’t install yet.
*
yeah, i mean Officially support by Whatsapp - Zuckerberg himself.
WhatChat is a 3rd party apps. it should be easily supported by Whatsapp themselves to port it into AW.

the function you mention is just the basic of receiving and replying for that particular chats. not functioning like a proper whatsapp.

QUOTE(realitec @ Dec 26 2017, 03:03 PM)
Does Apple Watch build up with crystal glass? No screen protector required?
*
Nah, crystal glass - easily scratch and break. require a SP. Sapphire <- don't need to worry bout it. (hardness at 9).

Alright thanks for your prompt response! It is very useful and picture provided, so much afford you put. Hence, puting a screen protector is not necessary right. But how am i going to choose 35mm or 42mm, any difference? Or for man, normally take the 42mm one.
*
42mm!!! 38mm is kinda small.....42mm is just nice. don't worry. my G-shock Rangeman is bigger than the AW.

Alright. And S2 doesn't support wireless charging and LTE, S3 has this right. If I am not going to purchase wireless charger pad, should I go for s2? Or s3 is the value buy compare to older version.
*
LTE - jangan harap. only in US and selected country only. SG also don't have laugh.gif
S3 = waterproof. since its one time purchase - i say go for 42mm S3.

and get applecare for the peace of mind....lol....i think the GG rate is much higher than the phone. sweat.gif

managed to get an Apple Watch Series 3 38mm at (sgd$385) rm1160 for my daughter. Warranty till early Jan 2019. Good price?
*
of course nice price - retail price at $488.
personally i'll get the apple care coz watch is more easier to be broken - etc, as you can get 2 times repair for only $95/once + 1 year additional warranty.

QUOTE(giggs_509 @ Jan 7 2018, 10:36 PM)
Series 3 don’t have space black?
*
only space grey with black / grey strap.

not sure. but even if you able to get one, it is just a normal AW3.
bcoz there's no telco support e-sim in MY & SG.

time, notification - normal things. (same duration for my GF.)
i would not advise LTE version unless you can charge it at anytime anywhere.
the battery is too small to last long for LTE.

Can anyone tell me how to read notification on my Apple watch without the need to tap the red dot with another hand. Now the watch vibrates when notification in, but when i turn to face the phone the screen just shows the background with the red dot on top.

This is very cumbersome if my other hand is holding heavy groceries i need to tap the red dot to see the notification. No point of taking out the phone and see. Like that better no need to wear apple watch.
*
try meddle with the settings. iinm notification can be set to show full message or just notify.
my gf notification show full incoming message.
