Am I the only one here who experiences serious battery drain after updating to 7.3.3? It barely lasts a day now without serious usage. It used to last two days with similar usage. I Googled and realized there are other people who experience the same. Anybody here as well?

I’m having the cellular version.

I just realised 7.5 is yet to be rolled out. laugh.gif I misunderstood. tongue.gif

I was one of them who actually got the Shopee service to activate ECG, it was a tedious process but after activating also didn't find anything special. tongue.gif

I had similar issue on the first day I updated to 7.3.3 but after another cycle of full charge and everything is normalized.
My ECG is already activated.

if I know Shopee got I think will activate already.... any risk of providing Apple ID?
I been wait since S4 cry.gif

Hmm, you need to create new Apple ID and later on change back to your existing one, so the seller won't know your real Apple ID.
It is quite a complicated process la. Anyway, I have activated but didn't find it anything special. laugh.gif

oic. as long as the Apple ID has activated the ECG on your phone and watch then you can login back to your own Apple ID to access ECG, guess this is how it works.

lol its good that you didn't notice anything special, means you are healthy. biggrin.gif
*
Maybe that's a good news for me. laugh.gif

QUOTE(miyakochan89 @ May 21 2021, 02:58 PM)
Do you all still wear normal watches after getting your smart watch?
*
No more and I have more than 10 watches that I used to wear frequently before I got my S6... shakehead.gif
Good thing also to stop me from buying watches.

Yes. Smart watch doesn’t look so smart when I’m wearing formal attending board meeting. Still prefer my Omega.

Besides formal day I’m wearing smart watch all the time.

Change the straps. biggrin.gif I bought leather strap for office wear (semi-casual attire) but ended up no chance to use yet because I have been working from home since MCO 1.0. laugh.gif

I find AW has plenty of accessories which can be used in all occasions. tongue.gif

have you guys apply screen protector for your AW?

I do.

I believe there was a poster that mentioned about battery draining.
Maybe i will wait a little.  rclxm9.gif

No such issue la. Been using ECG since January and only once drained due to new update but normalized in the next charge. All well and I have updated to the latest firmware as well.

That was just an isolated case.

Hey guys, does anyone have any decent 3rd party leather watch band options?

I don't mind paying a decent premium as long as it's nowhere near the price of Apple's leather watch band offerings tongue.gif

Nomad watch strap. Nomad is a famous brand for Apple leather stuff.
