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?

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 notworthy.gif
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.  icon_rolleyes.gif
Mechanical watch last forever (theoretically), but a smart watch will only last as long as the battery inside last  sweat.gif

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, 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.
*
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 rclxm9.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.
*
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.. rclxms.gif

So functionality is all the same right? And for the Nike sport app it can be used on normal Apple Watch as well ?

as what i know yes..same..and the price also same...

i never use the nike apps as built in health apps is good enough for me..anyhow i assume it can be used on normal AW as well...

For this ECG function, is it can receive call if phone not around with us?
Do we need pay extra monthly fee for this access to network provider in M’sia?

if i understand correctly, you have misunderstood the ECG function..it doesnt relate to call function..to be able able to receive phone call..you need to get a cellular version and of course with e sim activated as well..

Yes, you are right....I misunderstand on this ECG....thanks for your information.
I have question is this cellular AW, is it supportable Malaysia?
Because I’m doing sport and no carry phone dying 1-2hour sport. I don’t want miss any important call.
*
if AW S5 has celullar version for MY market and telco is supporting the e sim for AW...then yes..

otherwise it wont work..FYI..currently malaysia telco(take maxis for exmaple) only support e sim for limited device like huawei watch, iPhone XS max..
