Just leaving the model numbers here for fast reference on Sirim's DB.

S6
GPS
A2291 (40mm)
A2292 (44mm)

GPS + Cellular (NA)
A2293
A2294

GPS + Cellular (should be getting this here)
A2375
A2376


SE
GPS
A2351
A2352

GPS + Cellular (NA)
A2353
A2354

GPS + Cellular (should be getting this here)
A2355
A2356


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.

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.

Guys,

I saw pricelist has range of 1799 all the way to over 3000 Ringgit.

Whats the main different apart from the bezel, and strap material? Function all the same?
*
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

How to get malaysia esim works with apple watch eh?

Currently i'm using Hotlink Flex RM30+10 package.

Planning to get 2x watch series 6 and give my wife one (she doesnt have iphone) and share under family sharing but require cellular for the best experience.
*
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.

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? smile.gif
*
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.

Did anyone bought the cellular version using an iPhone 7plus? Can it be used? UMobile doesn’t have an esim function yet, so I would like to know esim is it possible?
*
Umobile has eSIM for iPhone.
Umobile DOES NOT have eSIM for Apple Watch.

ECG is approved by MDA

Like finally. It's approved by MDA and bet to be soon released in the next Watch OS!

Looks like those doing ECG activation service on e-commerce platforms are going to cease to exists.

Manage to activate ECG v2.0 thru shopee for 30bucks. So far, working well

people definitely got way more than their money worth on ecg activation service.

Now all eyes on Apple Pay to be activated. Once that is activated, tons of people are gonna buy the Watch and that includes me.

Bought S4 before. Realised that what I really wanted is AP and not just the fitness things. So I sold it off. Waiting for AP to come while using mi band to get simple fitness tracking done and also some notifications.

what are the advantages of AP over others i.e samseng pay?

To be honest, I did not google much but because I am stuck/self claimed stucked in Apple ecosystem, I would really want it to be here. Plus, taking out a card from a wallet from a pocket is much harder than jus raising ur arm/wrist to the terminal and boom, paid.

Guys, if ECG enters, does it mean that irregular heart rhythm will enter as well? Or it’s a separate thing?

How did you get to use AirSim with such a low priced postpaid plan?
