Will definitely get this. Might skip iphone this year. Pricing too radical.

Launch in spore on 21st right? Apple got international warranty right? I'll be in spore 22-24. Might drop by.

Updated my S3 to 5.0.1 last since, since i had issue with heart rate not showing, and with the hope battery could be better.

I was wrong. My S3 didn't charge after being updated (left it on charger overnight, took it for hiking this evening and see battery already half depleted), heart rate still not showing, and had issues with Now Playing to sync with phone when playing Spotify. Restarting solved the sync issue but to restart every time i listen to music isn't a chore i look forward to.

So i guess if your watch does ok with initial OS 5 version with minor issues, better not update to 5.0.1 first. Yeah YMMV but it doesn't hurt to stay out until next update.

That’s the issue, still thinking whether to upgrade since also upgraded to iPhone XS max
Now kinda broke hahaha

I also itching when it launched mainly due to bigger screen. But can't think of benefit i could rip from the upgrade. Functionality all same as AW3. Still smooth, battery also still ok though the new OS kinda sucks big time in terms of bugs and battery drain. U get more with phone upgrade than watch upgrade.

Go molest kaw² see how u feel. Sometimes if looks good on your wrist also enough to make u upgrade regardless whether u would benefit more or not.

Coating is 130 for full protection including the sides and heart rate monitor with lifetime warranty. The film will not affect the heart rate monitor whatsoever.

My Apple Watch will be used primarily for workouts and sports so not so comfortable using it naked lol

Overall it looks ok and am pretty happy with it. Cutouts are pretty precise as well. Hard to even notice anything is on the watch unless you bring it up close and scrutinize.

Need to run some errands for now will try and post some pics later in the evening or tonight.

Coated my AW3 last year and i can never be happier and more grateful. Working in a harsh environment, surely save myself from few heartaches moment. Definitely worth IMO. It keeps the slim profile while giving protection.

Ah I see. What's the name of the shop yeah?

Mobile Outfitters. I think price still RM130 full coating. Last time they were at second level, near all those phone shops. But not sure if they moved to other place/floor.

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.
