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.

Hi, have you buy through this method before? Am keen to buy other Apple items from the US through this method.

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

Seems the wait is still on for us to be able to buy AW6.

Any comments in the sizing? I'm undecided on 44 vs 40mm? My wrist is small so the 44mm looks large furthermore when I add on some casing for sports. But don't want to regret as need to squint and read the watch of its too small.

My wrist is on the small side and I've always gone for the larger 44mm.
The size difference isn't so immediately apparent when on your wrist. And that little extra real estate is really helpful in navigating that screen real estate, especially if you get fat finger symdrome.

I've never gone with a case as I think it takes away from clean facade but that's more personal preference so I can't comment on the impact a case would have on the profile apart from changing it to a mini G-shock. Been wearing the watch sans case for full on sports like futsal and all for 3 years now, touch wood still going.

Hey thanks bro for sharing your inputs. Really appreciate it.

I use the regular Sports Band for sports. Easy to wash off the sweat and dry after.
For normal use, I'm using the Sport Loop.

yeah was confused about the sports loop, w a name sport but with fabric should be wet and smelly.
I plan to swim do you think the regular sports band is safe? especially in swim in the beach.

Yea, mostly positive feedback from reviewer thou.

I like the case because it is easy to change color scheme.

You can check out the close up shoot from this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1YCRsOeGCQ&t=434s

^This brand also quite nice, easy to get from Ninjaz

I’m quite worried about the screen more. Any recommendations? The need to learn all over again for another device ha!

sorry gang, I might have viewed wrongly. But now I could click all the way and the word Unavailable is no longer there when i choose all the options...and then realized it is Apple Global website, not Malaysian website.

hi gang, Happy New Year!

I’m considering to purchase the ECG app from the shopee link stated above. Any latest minute feedback?

Any suggestion for a good sleep tracking app? Preferably non paid ones.

Feedbacks/ reviews on a good quality screen protector to go with a case?

mine is still working flawlessly with little to no scratch but battery life have degrade a lot.

hardware wise is slow and lagging, a restart take closed to 5 min compare to under 2 min for series 6

BT - 8.30am to 6pm (around 25%++,sometime even less depend how many notification i get per day)
Airplane mode - 8.30am to 10pm (around 10%++ including 45 min workout)

Can share why would one use Airplane mode or what’s the difference in AW? Thanks

consider the watch is 5 years + and the battery degraded so much.

if i use BT, i won't even last a full working day before i had to charge them so i just turn on airplane mode to save battery.

thanks, it’s good to know AW can be used as independent watch instead of connected all the time. I’m still learning about it. What’s your secret of keeping it flawlessly? biggrin.gif

Doesn’t it cut abit with the glasses shattered? Never thought of using any form of screen protector?


I’m getting worried about scratches now. No one here uses screen protector?
