I think get the 6 ...better nits on the AOD and also better processor for slight better battery life.... laugh.gif
I still considering to get 6 for my first apple watch purchase coz price is not cheap ....around close to 2K  hmm.gif

If can afford, I also think go straight to 6 is better.

Those who cannot wait can buy from Amazon first. Ship to forwarding company and ship it back to Malaysia. Around RM40-60 only for shipping fee.

Yes. Countless times. Just go buyandship.com.my and register and get your address. Then from amazon ship to that buyandship address. It will get forwarded to Hong Kong. After reach Hong Kong you will pay for the shipping charges to Malaysia. I bought series 5 from Amazon, shipping charges only RM60

Nope. I've shipped more than 20 times. No tax so far even though the value of some of the items exceed RM2-3k

TS/admin, I think it's better if you put a big bolded note in the 1st post to tell people how to activate ECG or buying certain region watch won't guarantee you ECG functionality activated here. Otherwise, this thread would be pages and pages of people asking how and if they can buy other countries' watch and automatically have ECG. It's a little frustrating to see this question keep on popping up especially in S5 and S4 thread when it's been answered over and over again.

Internally,
Nike version -> Exclusive Nike Watch Face + preinstalled Nike app (which you can download from the App Store)
Hermes -> Exclusive Hermes Watch Face

Externally,
Watch build -> Titanium, Aluminium etc etc.
Bezel -> S3 bezels huge. SE/S6 bezels = S4 / S5.
Strap Material -> Sport band, Sport Loop, Normal loop, Millanese loop etc etc

These are the differences. TBH, the internal part is nothing much. It doesnt mean that Nike has a way better tracking accuracy or special algorithm etc etc. Everything is just the same. icon_rolleyes.gif

Thanks for the info. Seems getting the cheapest version of series 6 is the best bang for money lah .. i dont really care on the material. More into the function which I would say the same for all across series 6.

Step 1: Onboard Maxis, Digi or Celcom. NOT Hotlink, Digi Prepaid, Xpax.
Step 2: Onboard eligible POSTPAID plans (RM80/month minimum)
Step 3: Pay extra RM10 or more for each eSIM for your Apple Watch.

So to actually own a cellular watch in MY is still considered expensive. Looking at these 3 telco's offerings @ their minimum postpaid plan.
Maxis: RM98 + RM18 (eSim Watch fee)
Digi: Digi's website. RM10 for eSIM Watch fee
Celcom: Celcom's website. RM15 for eSIM Watch fee

Btw, that thing, Family Sharing which the other party doesnt need to have an iPhone, doesn't work in MY. Plus, it's restricted to limited features only.
