I want to buy an apple watch this week but still not decides which version..Which one is value for money on long term use..AWS 5 with GPS or AWS 5 with GPS + cellular?  biggrin.gif
*
since i got both... wife and mine.. errr celular is good if u use apple music a lot which i do....

it will literally be a ONCE IN A ECLIPSE MOMENT if i had my watch on me and not my phone.

where i go da phone goes... unless i get thrown overboard from a ship or something...

also guess you save phone bat a bit with talking via da watch and listening from da watch.

Hopefully in future, ECG will be approved in Msia and there will be a firmware upgrade to enable it.

Will be getting a set in MY as will be redeeming points so no choice but to wait.

If that's true, I believe it is an easy job for them to approve. All the first world countries have approved it. What are we when compare to all these countries...what are these people worry about?

example

qi charger afaik has two standards that everybody is using. sirim approved those long time ago

logitech mouse charging pad uses their own proprietary tech. no submission to sirim. no approval. not sold here.

For those I can understand. Diff country has diff electricity "standard". But this is ECG that we are talking about. U have ECG or not you still need to charge the watch. And charging the watch has been approved. And I believe those countries ECG standards is definitely world class standard...
*
if we trust "world" standards like US .. we be paying rm1k for Insulin (modified from original abit to getaway from da free patent)
afaik all these ecg watch are not that accurate but is useful. more like precursor warnings. thats y i also want it. i will even buy more and give to my uncle/parents/inlaws etc.

issue here in MY atm..
1. has apple even submitted to the local ministry or sirim or both etc for approval?? or
2. they have and their ahem demands were ridoncolous??

hmm think will ask few ppl over the weekend about this.

it affects samsung as well since their latest galaxy watch has ecg also..

Feel very tempted to try out the aw cellular function with digi.

Now, Digx got promotion 68 for 80 plan for 12 months.

Motivated to exercise more.

Unless you are using Apple Music like mua with earbuds and need that 32gb.. You be cancelling that monthly telco sub. Since maxis has 3 months free. I will be cancelling mine after that.

Whatsapp notification requires phone bluetooth

Useful standalone app is telegram , bmw connected drive (preclimate the car and check charging status) so far. Telegram only on reading messages.

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?
*
maybe.. just maybe..
set apple account to SG
reset da phone and reset da apple watch
get a starhub/singtel line
activate and set up as new phone with region SG

might work.

just got this .. replaced my nomad . just couldnt trust da phone casing. so uag all da way.

Plan to get the Aluminium-44mm variant (RM 2 k on Machines i believe?).

Any thoughts on the battery? Is it really that bad that it requires charging everyday? How do you all overcome this issue for frequent travellers? Need some input, abit dilemma now (my current Fossil timepiece giving up now - such a bad investment!)

if i leave always on.. arnd 30 hrs. if i disable that easy 48-50 hrs.

c) no issue for me so far when I calling while driving. You can YouTube search for this review if you want to hear the quality of their testing.

as long there no heavy rain etc.

the noise cancellation seems good for the other side but the speakers are not loud enough

pair it with some earbuds.. you are good .

Hi guys,

Is the stainless steel (comes with sapphire crystal glass front) as tough as normal watch? Coz i never put on any protection on my watches even Garmin Fenix 5S (sapphire glass)

When i read about putting protection on Apple watch i feel weird?
*
hardness and toughness is inverse ya
so ya the sapphire is harder to scratch but not as tough as ion glass for shatter.

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

[attachmentid=10411449][attachmentid=10411450]

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.
*
nice..
had a look at nomad but opted for uag. its mainly because it had a button down at the end which makes the band feels perfect smooth and secure(not sure how to explain this)
it uses italian leather.. pretty comfortable.

the ori link from apple was silly priced. can almost buy a 40mm no gps apple watch 5.
got the urvoi based on reviews (seems like alot of ppl in korea bought it).

didnt realize nomad had waterproof leather. need to see this again ..
