QUOTE(Zoo Howl @ Apr 30 2020, 12:30 PM) Where did u bought the rock hydro gel screen protector? Arent u worry that without case, your watch might scratch or bump into wall? Bought it from Shopee... local seller too Yea worried of scratches so I had the hydro gel, replaced once already after 3 months of use due to a knock on a glass door that cannot be "cured". Normal scratches will just fade away after a day on the hydro gel's surface... u still get the smooth touch on this but may see some wrinkles under some reflections. I'm quite gentle with my watch collections so I'm ok to use it naked... you should consider a case if u r not haha! My dad manage to scratched his apple watch badly in just a week time while waiting for his hydro gel to arrive... was surprised the scratch marks would disappear under the cover of the hydrogel as well... highly recommended! Just to take note that some cases may not work with the hydrogel or any screen protector as they can be too tight...

I got a hairline scratch while waiting for my Hydrogel 🤣 My reco to others if they are planning to get it, buy 2 boxes. Installation is hard as hell - never faced such a complicated screen protector installation. But overall its a decently priced protection and fits well on my Rhinoshield also.

QUOTE(EdwinCodec @ May 5 2020, 10:35 PM) Get the ecg app activation from Shopee If using an account can unlock ECG, then what is the difference on activate using SG apple account to activate when at SG? Did anyone try this method before? mind to share? After activate with given ID, can I switch back on my own ID for apps download?

The account sold online already have the activation flag saved in icloud, so when it syncs with your Health app, it enables ECG functionality on your watch due to some changes by Apple. lets say you use SG apple account and is at SG, how are you gonna "Activate" ? your MY firmware watch will not have ECG app, so there is no way to "activate" it. You need to understand that the recent change by Apple is that: if your health data already contains the activation flag -> enable ECG on your watch no matter the region it is bought from.

So this only one-off account activation for ECG function enable and after that can use back own account for health data sync and apps download to watch?

Just be warned that Apple can anytime choose to revert back to previous implementation and the ECG app will be gone, I am not saying they will, but they could if they want to.
