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.

when is this releasing?

Well, I guess we will be getting AW6 & SE here in about a month's time. Give or take, mid - end of October.
My estimation: 12 or 13 Oct announce, 16 Oct pre-order, 23 Oct new toy on our wrist.

With a RM550 difference, I'm still thinking grab a SE or just close one eye and get the S6

Currently using a cheapo Amazfit which has AOD and feel that AOD is useful in daily usage. But I believe the tilt to wake up the screen on Apple Watches should be faster and more precise compare to my current watch..

Is it worth paying the extra for a GPS+Cellular version vs just the GPS version?

It depends on whether you want to use it often without the phone. For example, I use it during my daily run where I could stream online radio while running.

Was told you can make/receive calls with the Cellular version? I’m guessing you’ll need Airpods for that, or will be talking physically into your watch like a James Bond movie?

Malaysia included hehs

Both. Not necessarily need Airpods. Just any bluetooth headset with mic connected to the watch will do. No headset then it will blast the sound out from the watch's speaker.

*Add on
It's not like a James Bond feel cos it's not easy to hear and everyone around can hear your conversation. Somestimes u need to carry the watch to your ear to listen.

Ahh ok bro, thanks for that. I grew up in the age of “Knight Rider” so talking to a watch really appeals to me

On series 4, talking to the watch directly is much better than the version before, I will assume 5 and 6 has some improvements as well.
