just tested, put my phone to airplane mode, then use another phone to call my number, i got the call on my watch.

tested all 3, my phone airplane mode, watch connected to cellular

all 3 does not receive notification on the watch at all. Once I turn on wifi on my phone (watch still connected to cellular, not connected to phone), and phone gets the notification, the notifications appear on my watch as well.

EDIT: my apple watch S5 is normal aluminium casing, bought from digi RM2099

yes bro, you actually no need turn on airplane mode, just turn off bluetooth already can be independent of phone already (means the watch will be using cellular as connectivity).

just want to try different scenario, aka phone totally off (simulated by airplane mode without any connectivity(wifi/cellular)), or phone put at home then you go out with watch only (phone disconnected from watch, make sure watch is in cellular connection)

mm.. my workout usually 45mins (warm up + run/jog + cool down).. during this time, battery usually will use around 5% if no music, around 10% if playing offline music, around 15-20% if streaming apple music.. that's all I can say for my usage..

if it suits your lifestyle then it's worth the additional convenience, otherwise, as I have posted previously, it's not a "must-have"

can only reply to the notification.. the behaviour is like your phone's notification.. reply can be either by dictation or writing the letters one by one

Cellular S5 from DiGi bro, otherwise I wouldn't be able to provide feedback based on the requests here =p


haha, this one very subjective =p Even my previous Series 1 is fine for me. You can adjust the font size on the watch if you have difficulty reading, but for me, default size is good enough.

I think you need to ask yourself, how many hours a day are you away from your phone? The watch will only be in cellular mode if there's no WiFi and no Bluetooth(your phone) to connect to.

if you search within this thread, we already had this discussion before.

Malaysia Apple Watch firmware does not come with the ECG app, so it is not possible to "activate" it anywhere.

If you get your apple watch from ECG-enabled country, you will see the ECG app on your watch even if you are in malaysia. However, if you have never open the app while in Sg or US or HK (basically any ECG-enabled country), if you try to open it in Malaysia, you will encounter some error, thus not able to "activate" it.

Once you have "activated" the ECG for the first time, a flag will be set in your health data, which is sync to icloud. So the next time you reset/re-pair your Apple Watch, your ECG app will be activated automatically no matter where you are.

This is Apple's current implementation, we cannot be sure of what changes Apple will make for this in the future.

if let's say you buy in SG, when you pair to your watch, you'll see the ECG app. When you open the ECG app for the first time, it'll prompt for activation. After that first activation, you'll be able to use it anywhere because the feature is activated and saved in your icloud health data already.

even if you travel to singapore, your device is still malaysian device, by default, it doesn't come with the ECG app itself, so how are you gonna "activate" there?

phone no need ecg-enabled country model .. as long as your Apple Watch model is from ECG-enabled country, when you set it up, you will see the ECG app. When you open the ECG app, you must be in ECG-enabled country in order to activate.

not sure whether the irregular heartbeat thingy is activated by itself.. just buka all the apps on the watch while in SG xD

what feedback are you looking for? I've been using DiGi AirSIM since launch, since this is the first time malaysia has this feature, so not sure how to compare, so it is better if you have ask questions and we answer them for you? Some questions may have already been asked few times before, you can search the thread before asking.

malaysia unit no ECG until MOH approval.

a) yes, as long as cellular unit.
b) i turn on all feature, my morning starts from 6.30am, my workout usually 5 - 6pm, around 10pm usually around 30% plus minus. I leave it on charger overnight, I wear my series 1 as sleep tracker.
c) i would say it's almost same as if you're on speakerphone.

i am not gonna debate with you on this, but let me tell you this, the best battery killer is heat, this applies to all batteries. Of course other things can factor but nothing else have a more significant effect on battery cells than heat.

yeap, most prolly SG/HK set? can you check the model number? Watch -> Settings -> General -> About -> Model (Tap on it), mine is MX3F2MY/A (malaysia unit)

ZP used to be HK and singapore was using ZA, but nowadays I think both HK and Singapore are using ZP, so most likely your watch is SG set.

EDIT: looks like it's swapped now, it used to ZA - sg set, ZP - hk set. But looking around now, ZA - hk set, ZP - sg set. Old info: iPhone Wiki Model Region

congrats! I believe using this method you will not be able to sync your health data or at least that ecg activation flag to icloud, so you will need to repeat it if you want to re-pair your apple watch, but no matter, it's just a little trade off =p remember to "properly activate" your ECG if you ever travel to SG/HK or other ECG-enabled country.

sync to iphone definitely no problem. I was saying sync to icloud. The reason cannot sync because the health data was 'tampered'. I could be wrong though, because all these information are from other users.
