Luckily I just started decide to get one few days ago. Check Apple Store Malaysia, quite convinced no cellular version coming from the entire website so I will not try to get one from overseas with Cellular. No point paying close to Rm500 for something won't happen like AW3.

nike+ only has aluminum case. btw, will go pick up my ss aw4 later  smile.gif

I am new to Apple Watch, I just learn how much nicer Stainless steel than Aluminum. I would love to own the SS model which has to try to get in Changi, however, knowing the fact I like the latest hardware and will change year to year, anyone know if AW used can be sold with not a bad price in Malaysia? I think SS model will be even harder knowing the fact it is not available in Malaysia shop for creating the awareness.

Any users can share the thought?

I have to disagree with you. Apple Watch is digital watch. There is never any value with digital watch. If you're talking about analog automatic watch then yes. Apple Watch? Even in perfect condition will have very low value.
*
My dilemma is I have a few mechanical watches, if I start my 1st Apple Watch, majority of them will be shelved however I also do research on mechanical watches forum on sale, think only very high end watches like Rolex(submariner) has 2nd hand value, the rest I don't even see any asking for sale.

Guess iPad and iPhone has the best resale value, Apple watch demand is still very low. Maybe AW4 may change that.

Was window shopping after dinner and check out Switch to decide which color I would buy when SenQ has stock, ask the switcher and has last 44mm Silver that I wanted, so ended up get my 1st AW even I have 11 years with iPhone.

My 1st impression? Love it.... especially the rear camera portrait mode which I can preview on my AW4, so much nicer on rear camera compare to front. The display is main reason happy every time seeing the watch.

I also looking forward 44mm gold case. but the choices of strap are so limited (only in pink strap)

Aluminum Gold is like Iphone 6 Gold, dull, SS gold is like Xs Gold, shinning. Have to get other strap with Gold color as pink don't even look super nice on girl's hand.

I am waiting for my taobao millennium loop, hope the color and quality acceptable as original is 1/3 of 44mm price, too pricy....

Depends on what you mean by "Swiss Watch".

Made in Swiss or brand originate from Swiss.

If you're talking bout proper Swiss watch, sorry 3k won't cut it.

Different target market anyways.
*
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

Any recommendation for third party milanese loop?

Lazada, Shopee all sells at very reasonable prices. Taobao has slightly more choices, by not too much and cheaper unless you buy a few since shipment is not that cheap. I am waiting for my 4 milanese loops from taobao before I give everybody some review.

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
*
Only if you buy Rolex or any other brand with certain models people want. If you have model like Tag level, doubt any good second hand value. I have 2 mechanical watches want to sell, but really don't know how to sell it with even half the price i paid for. Ya digital watches can be sold but have to be 1-2 year old maybe. Depreciate also could be fast not as good resale value as iPhone or non iPad Pro, iPad.

Can get from taobao. Almost like new original.

The price is almost like original, so it is not original? It better be since it claimed to be, good source for 'original strap' with alternate price.

I want to buy my first apple watch. Tried both model. 44mm is too big for my wrist. 40mm I find too tiny. I think 42mm just nice but then is S3 and screen area is smaller than 40mm. Btw I'm using Amazfit Bip which I am really happy with the size but not the screen area. Can advice me which model to get? Thanks
*
44mm. I think with the right strap(not sports, it will sure fit anyone's hand so long it is adult. Btw, isn't 42mm and 44mm same size except screen size on 44mm bigger? Physically they are same size except the square(42mm) vs rounded(44mm)

My wrist is bit small around 6.8inch. Does 44mm will look weird on me?

I just measured mine, lebih kurang sama dengan you, biggrin.gif , goto Apple reseller and try again, don't forget their demo unit may have extra plastic that make apple watch looks bigger and thicker, I also don't 100% like the original sports band, waiting for my cheap taobao Milanese loop if it fits better.

It is common for people to wear bigger watch nowadays even without big hand, I don't find 44mm is huge after using for 2 weeks.

OK my bad, they are used bands which almost like new. Err about half the price, don't think that worth especially can't see it as well. Better get the cheap and plenty of choices alternative unless the quality way worse.

This look so different from what I see in Apple Store app in Sg where the gold looks closer than our iPhone Xs Gold. This look very yellow gold.
