Can apple watch series 5 be charged by qi wireless chargers? Plan to buy a qi powerbank.

Apple Watch is not Qi standard, if I am not mistaken.

Only a handful of 3rd party watch adapters can work with the Apple Watch.

Extra commitment per month. Unless every call is important to you and you always miss the call. If only for a reason dont want bring the phone while workout or jogging. Not worth the price.😂
Still no news yet. maybe waiting telco to implement the Cellular version. that’s why took so long time.

I think most users will just go with the standard wifi version anyway

ooh the ceramic looks good cool2.gif

Anyone with a Cellular version of AW5 can share how is the battery life on a standard day-to-day usage? Thinking of getting the cellular version so I can leave my phone behind when I go for my outdoor runs and gym sessions.

Jesus. You don’t need a screen protector for a cheap watch from apple. My current daily watch is a rolex pepsi gmt. I don’t even use a protector for it

Nah dont worry, you dont need a screen protector for that cheapo Rolex BS either.

Just saying

Nomad Malaysia lazmall after add voucher code - rm289

I used to buy Nomad from MacStudio - only to discover that the official distro, Distexpress opened their official marketplace via Lazada - it's so much more cheaper now with discount codes and free shipping etc.

Occasionally you can find other sellers like OriBags (also legit dealer) selling at slightly competitive price vs LazMall tongue.gif

sport loop is definitely better than sport band, i have use sport loop, sport band and leather loop and leather band... for day to day wearing i think sport loop is nicest to have

Easy wash and easy drying, totally agree with the Sport Loop. I had both previously using it for morning workout and then to work, the Loops looks better, especially the Nike ones. Black + reflective rclxm9.gif

I just purchased it and i got charged the full amount on my credit card. Will my statement be only the charges for this month or the full amount

Usually if it's installment it will have a line - 01/12 (Month 1 out of 12 Months - Contracted Period) and it will reflect the monthly charges on the statement. Call the bank to re-confirm.

Hi, I’m planning to get AW5 and it will be my first AW. Just wanted to ask how you guys keep the AW clean everytime after exercise as I workout a lot and I get sweat easily.

Just wash/ rinse with water?
*
Wash with soap & water.

No issues, I use it in the gym and wash it after and head to work. The sport loop is the best, easily washable and just use towel to dry it after that.

Agreed. Urvoi metal band quality really outstanding for the asking price.
These 2 are my favourite bands.

The new waterproof/water resistant Nomad leather pretty comfortable and better than their traditional strap. Too bad the brown is too much grey when compared to their modern strap.

Thanks for the feedback - thinking of the Nomad Active Strap too. Now I'm convinced tongue.gif

Looks good. The bumper is stick on top type cover the the edge or snap-on type?

Snap on bumper.

I feel the bumper could be more sturdy. Rubbed it against my shirt a few times and it flung out of my watch lol.

I won't recommend using the supplied aluminum bumper for long, 4 edges of my watch had minor scratches due to the case. If you feel, the 4 edges which contacts on the watch is quite sharp.
*
What replacement bumper are you using currently? Looking for a new one as well.

Every time the bumper gets flung out of the case by accident, my heart cringe.

Check my posts for images, I after that aluminum bumper, I changed to xdoria but the edges was pretty sharp, didn't quite like it either. Then I'm now using RhinoShield... every now and then changing color combination haha!

Ahh hard to find the Rhinoshield, alot of online sellers only carry 40mm. Ended up with Spigen Clear Case.

Keep in mind that the Sports Loop takes a while to be fully 'dried' - the Sports Band can just be wiped away with towel after washing / workout, but the Loop will take a while, even after drying. But its not to the extend of 'uncomfortable' when wet.

So I have the AW5 Cellular for over a week now, here's my observation:

Time:

5.45am (Removal from Charger) - 100%

1 hour workout with Apple Music streaming on cellular + connection to AirPods [Left phone in locker] - 70% by time I reach office at 8.30am.

Lunch time - 55% with standard Whatsapp notification on.

5.30pm - 25+- % connected to phone + wifi

8.30pm onwards - 15+- % connected to phone + wifi

10.00pm onwards - <10% connected to phone + wifi

Depending on how heavy my usage, by time I connect to the charger, the battery will be < 5% before 11.30pm.

By end of the day, if its not connected to the charger, the watch will just die. Literally can barely just a survive a full day + 1 hour workout. Bummer.
