Thanks for sharing bro. Is your screen coated with the same skin or you used a screen protector? Sorry, can't really see from the first pic thumbup.gif

If you can't see, that's a proof of their good workmanship hahah. Yes i coat the screen as well. I did whole body. Screen, body, sensor.

Something that I can consider for the watch that I am planning to get for my wife.

I knew! I tested them! They can't bested our knowledge on products in depth!

Totally agree. Many times we have to "teach" them back. Someone can tell me the Aluminum model screen is Saphire Crystal and scratch proof. So no point getting the Stainless Steel since no Telco support e-Sim. Even "argued" with me by showing me the spec list on Apple Website. Then I ask him...dude, look...it is the back. Can see the line above said it is Galss?

Some poeple just don't like the dotted sport band and do not want to waste money to buy another band...ya...u can always get third party with a much affordable price. Some people just don't like third party stuff.

Sharing my experience after 3 days with a fully coated Apple Watch from Mobile Outfitters and my advise is - Coat the front and sides, ceramic back is optional but do not coat the heart rate sensor.

- All was fine on the first day right after I coated it, but after awhile it felt uncomfortable, the watch stuck to my skin and it was tugging at my bulu lol Thought it was too tight so I loosened it but it was worse wearing it loose, it was rough and it rubbed my wrist with friction and caused irritation. Thought I wasn't wearing it right so just shrugged it off took it off and ended the day.

- Second day wore it to the gym and after a few reps, my goodness it felt so sticky and hot on the wrist. Super rough and grimy. Started pulling at my wrist bulu badly. The irritation was horrible as well. Got pissed and ripped off the film on the heart rate sensor, cleaned it a bit and put it back on. And my goodness it was like I just put on a different watch.

- Third day - after a whole day and I felt like I could leave the watch on my wrist forever.

The coating is just like your phone non tempered glass regular screen protector. It can be abrasive on your wrist especially when it gets sticky from your sweat or wrist heat. What is more I believe the film traps heat as well. Also my regular heart rate readings were consistently 10+ BPM higher than after I had the film removed from the heart rate sensor, so the film might affect accuracy somewhat. There is a longer pause as well before your watch starts charging after attaching the charger.

Now with the sapphire back touching my skin, it feels so much cooler and the watch slides around effortlessly with no friction if I decide to wear it a little looser and able to adjust the position of the watch from time to time. Bulus were no longer harmed. Watch also starts charging almost immediately after attaching the charger.

I am considering taking out the layer on the ceramic back as well now. The heart rate sensor and the entire ceramicback really do not need any coating in the first place tbh. Sapphire glass and ceramic are incredibly scratch resistant. Plus those parts will be on your wrist most of the time anyway.

TLDR - Get the front and the sides coated will do. Ceramic back, optional but the heart rate sensor is a major no go for coating. You might even get a cheaper price with only the front and sides coated. The front and side coating did come in handy once for me yesterday when I accidentally hit either the side or front screen of the watch when trying to stop a lift door from closing when I was rushing. I'm convinced there would've been at least some scratches had it not been for the coating.
*
Thanks for the great advice. I am thinking whether should I help my wife to coat the watch or not. I think I will just go with the sides and front. thumbup.gif

Bro what's different between Nike+ and normal s4?

I think @harmeet15 has answered your queries. Basically, no diff from the watch itself besides 2 additional Nike watch face.

theoretically means if u buy nike+ u got slightly more "things". Price the same, then should choose nike+
*
Yes. Unless u don't like any of those bands that Nike+ comes with. You won't be able to get the "no-hole" sport band with Nike+. You will need to fork out $ to buy them.

Called Mac city 1U to ask about availability. The guy who answered said, don’t know. Maybe tmrw, maybe next week, two more weeks or month or more, we don’t know.

Well, I know which shop I’m not going.

Agree. I found that this Mac City at 1U is damn arrogant. Their staffs treat u as the poorest person on the earth and think you can't afford why ask....plain stupid.

Cheapest SS AW4 will cost you at least Rm3k++.. At this price range, I would rather spend my $$$ on swiss watch.

The "max" Swiss watch you can get is Tissot with that price bro. Or maybe 10 Swatch plastic watches, which is also Swiss made... cool2.gif

I spent quite a bit on 'Swiss' watch mainly mechanical watches. Bad news for them after owning AW4, they are pretty much shelved. Before that I always have to consider which watch I want to wear today with my clothing, now only 1 - AW4. I knew it....

If you haven't spent on 'Swiss' watch, my friendly advise don't get them if u plan to own a AW.

Now am busy searching what 3rd party strap to match with my AW4  tongue.gif
*
Kinda agree...My TAG, Tissot, G-Shock, and Swatch all shelved after I got my AW series 0....imagaine, it is just a series 0...even till today.

the problem with digital watches like AW is that they will be outdated within a year... classic swiss watch don't and will appreciate in value, you can pass it generations by generations

I plan to give my series 0 to my children and ask them to pass down for the generations to come.
It is the very first Watch made by Apple weiiii....don't play play.... biggrin.gif
And mine is SS Milanese Loop...I am sure it will be a collectible like the very first Apple Computer or the first Patek Philippe....HAHAHAHA.... rclxm9.gif

I'm hoping for the same. Mine is a Link Bracelet, even the more reasons to keep it and pass it down.
I already keep all my phones, so might as well do the same with my AW.
Agreed 100%

ohh...then yours will be the ultimate version....almost. Unless you have the 70K Gold Watch...hahaha... biggrin.gif

Wow.. Link bracelet! That strap is expensive man. But it’s so damn nice. Still trying to find a cheap alternative for that. Can’t bring myself to spend on a strap that’s pricier than the watch itself.

I bought a 3rd part one from Lazada...very acceptable quality. Looks 99% like the original. No one can tell the difference even those ppl from Apple retailers...unless the try using it...hehehe...
