I hope titanium would come to our market. So sad to see lack of options here compared to the US. And FFS give us the ECG feature as well.

If the cellular version could work without data then why not? I hope it could work in case they wouldn't offer base GPS model with Titanium finish here.

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?

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

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.

Just curious....

Why do you sound like you need the Noise function so badly? U working or living in an area that has very bad noise pollution? Or it is a health issue?

Just curious what are the use cases for this app...

They market the noise level detector as a feature. I think most of us who have the intention to purchase one would love to have all features enabled even though it might not be used.

Anyone knows when Series 5 is coming to our shores?

No estimation even on Apple Malaysia site.

On another note, does anyone know whether the ECG function can be activated in Singapore if purchased at the Apple Store using our Malaysia Apple ID?

I bought one of the AW4 in Apple Store Sg, I can't activated it, guess I need to travel back to Sg to activate it. My friend who got AW4 in US can activate ECG though in Mys, weird.

Change region on your iPhone while you’re in Singapore then activate the watch there. I guess this is what a lot of people do. Haven’t tried it myself.
