Realise the cellular AW7 drain battery faster

Yup especially when there’s no / low signal - it will constantly search for signals. So if you’re indoors, switch off the cellular.

Welcome to the club bro ☺️

Thanks!

Wanted the Braided Solo Loop but seems like no retailer bring it in, Milanese it is. Looks classy enough for work 😬

i think better to switch on only when u are going without phone..this will reduce the power usage.. hmm.gif

This could work too, only if you remember to.

Turning on the cellular is a hit and miss, most of the time it works but often doesnt too.

QUOTE(clement5949 @ Oct 21 2021, 01:37 PM)
Oh ya, never tot of turning off. Now turn off d, thanks for the idea 😂 becoz last time my AW3 just Wi-Fi only

Oh, suppose I don’t plan to buy SS with Milanese loop but SS with rubber band. And on that day, I queued half and hour and they said only got the Milanese loop. So just take it since like what u said Milanese loop is classy for formal event or for work 😆 but it’s definitely not for workout, so another 199 flew away for the Nike sport band 😆
*
Yup I think I’ve done enough damage for my own wallet too, wont be getting any new bands now since I can reuse my existing Sports Loop.

The Nike ones doesn’t seem to last very long. The velcro part became loose after slightly over a year of usage, probably because I wash it daily? sweat.gif

What is the ETA of your purchase ? Should be arrive earlier compare to apple.com.my ?

I guess if ready stocks, should be next few days?

They didnt state ETA or Pre Order so I assume its ready stocks, so 3-5 days?

QUOTE(clement5949 @ Oct 21 2021, 01:55 PM)
Oh, same here. This October is like apple month, I spent 99 for apple’s product. Gonna off my water tap d 😆

if the battery can last for one day with cellular is on...then shuold be np to just leave it on..

From my experience, if cellular on without using it for navigation, streaming, calls etc, should be no problem.

But if you’re doing any of those - will probably only left with half by mid day. Enough to last until late evening then it will need a charge.

From my use case, take off from charger at 5am, head to the gym and use cellular for streaming + bluetooth + workout tracking, will only be left with 65-70% after 2 hours.

Beats carrying your phone around from 1 station to another - sometimes you will even forget and leave your phone behind.

I remember Machines Online takes longer than most retailers to ship out.. not sure why they don’t provide same day delivery for the Online stocks from their HQ.

Switch allows it thou.

I think they have but not apply to all products ?
https://www.machines.com.my/pages/samedaydeliverytc

They also mentioned normal shipping is about 2-4 working days.
*
Yeah this should be applicable to all products.

2-4 days is the standard textbook-like answer - from my experience it will usually be around a week or so. Once I had my order misplaced and they didnt ship until I asked them about it, which was one week later lol.

Received mine today too.

That scratchy sound when inserting the Milanese Loop for the very first time to the Stainless Steel body is so painful to hear 😩

Haha problem is this loop is not your everyday loop.

I have my Braided Solo Loop on the way, and using my existing Nike Sports Band (strap) for now - the Milanese Loop is too flashy for everyday use.

Having a headache with Maxis now thou, can’t sub for the Watch Plan unless I cancel my Multi-SIM which I am currently using for my iPad. Very odd for Maxis to implement this.

Juat wanna ask. For the cellular watch, all telco got their own plan? Not like can just go with prepaid number ?
*
It needs to follow the same telco as your current line.

In the case of Maxis, you can only subscribe for the Watch Plan 18 only, no other plans. That’s the crappy part.

The line will be tied to your account as a subsidiary line.

Mine has been stuck on waiting for courier to pick up.

Totally depends on the band.

I’m using a super old Sports Loop, so the shape lari already - its just a temporary until my other band arrives.

I tried it on the Milanese Loop and it does make my watch looks small. Personally not a fan of small watches anyway.

My Braided Solo Loop arrived today.

Fits well if you follow the measurement tool from the website. I can still fit one finger under the band but it doesn’t move around as I thought - though I believe it will stretch over time so I’ll just throw it in a washer and it should shrink again.

Wow. That braided solo loop looks great on you, bro! Is this the Abyss Blue colour?

Thinking to grab the braided solo loop too once I get the Apple Watch Series 7. After reading Reddit, it seems that it is advisable to go 1-2 sizes down from the actual measurement to ensure a snug fit.
*
Hey, thanks buddy. Blue is always my favorite color, and yes you’re right this is the Abyss Blue colorway.

I would suggest you download and print the measuring tool and wrap it around your wrist as tight as possible - this is fairly accurate. I went true to size and thankfully I did, if I go down a size, pretty sure my veins will be crying tongue.gif

I read that if it comes loose, just throw it to the washer and dry it, should return to original shape.

Yeah Stainless Steel is all nice and fancy, until it gets scuffed / scratched.

Yea I feel you, used to have a stainless steel AW4 and that thing was full of scratches after few months, regretted to not have protectors but too late smile.gif
Ignore senheng, they won’t be able to do anything for you and will refer you back to an apple authorized service center…

I’m actually surprised how easily the body of the Stainless Steel scratches, like too easily.

If you’ve gotten the Silver one, can polish off and its back to brand new, but the same can be said for Graphite and Gold. doh.gif
