When are we going to finally get to use the cellular in MALAYSIA? damn..... i never buy a single apple watch because i wanted the cellular feel pointless to buy without it although i really want to use it for gym. Want to leave the phone at home just out with the watch also hard.

Is it coming soon or what i keep waiting also no news on cellular in malaysia for apple watch. What is DIGI MAXIS doing? not sure if its their fault but

Is the aod same as garmin`a?

Power da the fetures.

I feel you macha.

i am waiting for stainless steel + cellular AW as well..too sad that still no cellular for MY market..
there is no cellular AW for MY market most probably is because of the price..a stainless steel + cellular AW costs you a USD699 which equivalent to around MYR3,000...not many people willing to spend that much for a watch..i guess..

They still could give an option to sell the cellular version but it seems even for Series 5 they don’t give it here in our market. Very disappointed. RM3k+ for a titanium watch is actually not a bad price. Compare it with Titanium made G Shock for example, the MRG series, it could go way up to 5 digits figure and people still buy it.

Now could it work if we buy the Singapore version and use it here without the cellular capability? Anyone tried before?

Hope it comes with the ECG function..

yes..i understand...the price with that material may be appropriate..the question is how many ppl would buy it..i think that is what apple considering..
another thing is..as long there is official Apple store in that country..there will have all range of the product for their customer..like Thailand and SG both have official Apple store..both have cellular version..correct me if i am wrong
some ask why SG have it for the consumer but not for MY..because in SG the price may be around SGD1k+ for the cellular version..ppl are more affordable to purchase..

as what i know, e sim in malaysia only support Huawei watch GT(since last year Oct), iPhone xs & xs max(since this year Feb )..
there are cases that back to last year Oct when the e sim only support watch GT from maxis..user try to port it into xs but unsuccessful..

While I will totally get the Titanium AW at RM3K+...but can't really compare with a mechanical watch la.
Mechanical watch last forever (theoretically), but a smart watch will only last as long as the battery inside last

yes, the buying power for working people in bolehland are not very high seriously. so apple devices to most indeed are not cheap. this should be the reason why bolehland is never in first wave due to the demand and supply issue.

dragon-i land last time also not in first wave, but the demand is high there and eventually they are in first wave. becos over there actually got huge market and a lot of people actually like iPhones.

agree...
though it is called a watch..it is a technology stuff..in some mean..it will be "eliminated" after some time(mayb few years or ten years later)...
and it dont have the value to keep it that mechanical watch does..

of course like you say AW cant really compare with a mechanical watch..

yes..due to demand and supply issue..this bolehland is in the "first" wave as well..just 1 week later than the official selling date..not sure is because of demand or supply issue...haha

dragon-i has huge market

yeah. global demand changed changes the speed for bolehland to get to purchase earlier as well. haha.

G-Shock of which I mentioned can't be considered as a mechanical watch. it is analogue with electronics inside with battery. Though yes its an apple to orange comparison but the point is Apple should give it a try here.

Anyway if anyone knows whether the cellular version could work without the cellular capabilites, that would be great. I just want at least the SS finish and upon checking on Apple SIN only aluminium version has the basic GPS one. I have the Apple Watch Series 3 aluminium version and it doesn't feel nice actually. Feels too light IMO. I've watched hands-on on the aluminium version of the S5, most say it feels different.

yes, you can use cellular version in Malaysia.

i like the SS material as well...how good if there is SS for My market..so that i can match it with xs max..

Yes, Apple should at least gives it a try here....

By the way, u can use the watch in MY without cellular. Same as u, I just want the SS finished. For me it is because of the sapphire crystal scratch proof glass. My Series 0 doesn't have a single scratch till today.

u can always get from SG....I will be travelling to SG next month for wedding dinner. I can help to buy from Airport. Since I am also buying 1 for myself, I think I can only buy1 more additional. I think they limit 2 per person...

thanks for the offer i had AW4 already..will skip the AW5...u getting the SS or ceramic material?

I will go there molest molest the demo and see see first. But Ceramic damn expensive weii....SDG 1979
