Wow! Fitness+ come to Malaysia! Hopefully they provide it FOC under AppleOne



This post has been edited by kevinpss: Sep 15 2021, 02:25 AM

the one with Fitness+ is Apple One Premier, includes Apple News
Malaysia seems dont have Premier plan

Yes I hope they include into Apple One please

The new larger display looks good, just hoping for a better battery since they mentioned about a faster charging and emphasize alot on the Sleep Tracking mode.

can someone poison me to buy apple watch?
my heart would like to have 1, but my brain tell me for what?

*i dont exercise
*just need a watch, as my other watches running out of battery due to MCO.
*ECG,blood oxygen tracker looks good during this covid era

just buy it. At the same amount of $$ you cannot get Tag Heuer. It can be wear in any occasion by changing the strip, I see this is quite useful.

have spare money? just buy it
you will start exercise after getting one

i have TH but not automatic. Have to go to TH shop to change batt, but i dont go mall at this moment due to covid.
my brain tells me, u have few better watch, just go replace the batt.

can keep $$ for travelling once borders is open.
haha, used to go gym for few years, then due to work, stop gym, all muscle kecut bcome slim guy again.
i wish i didnt stop gym! all hardworks in gym now down the drain.
im pretty sure i would not join gym again, it was really suffering to maintain the look.

if i dont exercise, is the watch still relevant?

Well if you wanna have something on your wrist that not only tell time - sends you notification from apps, tells you the weather, helps you to unlock your iPhone while wearing a mask and set timer without lifting up your phone etc, I don’t see why not.

Conventional watches are a work of art, no doubt about that. But I rather trade the convenience and functionality over a traditional conventional watches any day. It’s a modern world.

This is F well said!

Let's wait for series 7, hope the hype is still there.

I’m waiting for the Nike edition this time, kinda regretted not getting it for Series 5 previously. New watch face is always fresh to see!

Ah.. I'm using AW SE Nike edition at the moment, thinking to upgrade to AW7

In case for those who wondered where is the squarish redesigned AW7, you may wanna watch this video.

Pretty makes sense to me on why suddenly the rumored redesigned AW7 didn't happen.

leaked can be real, but Apple never said when will release probably next year

oh ya, speaking bout NIKE.
what's the difference?

Same price but with Nike exclusive watch face and band (usually woven band or the vented holes one).

I’m brand loyal to Nike so its a must for me haha.

Rumours said the new series 7 might be using the same chip as series 6. A bit of turn down for me, please convince me otherwise or I'd consider to go for SE

Yeah this is a total bummer. Was thinking to replace my AW5 with a AW7 with a new design but I probably put it on hold. Time to visit a Tissot shop

wondering if this is worth the upgrade from series 5

I’m upgrading from my Series 5, will defo benefit from the 5Ghz wifi band receiver. Overall, just some performance enhancement and nicer screen.

Using AW4.plan to change earlier but after the keynote doesn’t feel like it haha since no new health sensors

Dunno if I can really tell the difference with 5Gz wifi band... Is it just better connection between iphone and watch?

Yea thought would get the electronic BP sensor. But the smaller bezel and larger screen make its look a bit better than previous model. Those who don't have yet, it's good to have la. Those who have the previous 2 versions, maybe most likely a pass.

I actually thought this year they will launch the totally redesigned square AW7 with lots of other features, which I was really waiting for but somehow that got cancelled.

Personally, I don't own any AW and was looking forward to get that but now, I guess I'll wait for next year too

When will release at msia ah?

Luckily enough the shape remains the same as AW6, bought AW 6 and like it very much, coming from Fitbit versa 3 yrs ago. Haha

US is releasing next week (https://appleinsider.com/articles/21/10/01/hermes-says-apple-watch-series-7-preorders-start-october-8)

Maybe we see 1-2 weeks later?

SG, TH and even PH able to pre-order it this week while we are not able to get to pre-order it this week.

I hope they launch it together with Fitness+ or AppleOne Premier Malaysia. haha

Or maybe, who knows Apple Pay 😂. There were news it’s directive from BNM to pick it up and insider(s) say Q4 2021. Well it’s Q4 already so, fingers crossed.

But in all seriousness, SIRIM hvnt approve cellular version yet. I think that’s why cannot promote to sell/pre-order here yet.

Im new to ios btw. Wanna ask is it advidable to take cellular version or normal is ok ?

if you tend to always leave your phone and go out (away from any WiFi or the range of your phone), maybe yes. But cellular do take up more battery.

easy, if you say you like to leave your phone in the living room while you are in your bedroom, cellular is NOT for you.
if you say you go exercise or gym or whatever that technically makes your phone like a burden to carry around, cellular sounds like a good option for you.

Still, it's up to you. Cellular or not, iPhone is still needed to do most of the task.

Official:

Pre-Order from 8th October, Available 15th October.

Customers in Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, Russia, South Korea, the UAE, the UK, the US, and more than 50 other countries and regions will be able to order Apple Watch Series 7 beginning at 5 a.m. PDT on Friday, October 8, with availability in stores beginning Friday, October 15.

Malaysia.. sila tunggu lagi.

So Watch without cellular function is pretty much useless for me lar...?

I always carry my iPhone wherever I go... and I hadn't been wearing watches for decades...

Buy WiFi/non Cellular version first. If you can live with that, u dont need Cellular version on your next upgrade/purchase.

I see. So will buy non cellular then. Plan to jump from samsung. Really wamt to use the ecg and blood oxygen feature.

Initially I thought of that too but is it really worth it...?

There's a sudden surge of ppl buying oxymeter recently. So to have one that somewhat, checks your system sounds pretty good at this pandemic/endemic times. Anything also, they can call SOS instantly.

you need an iPhone btw.

actually their ECG is quite useful....since the Apple Watch ECG can tracking from time to time, it usually can detect any heart rhythm abnormality prior the full ECG in hospital. It is very good for day to day monitoring (without really need us to check it, but the watch will send alarm if we have heart problem)

wanna know for sp02 meter for apple watch, is it full day tracking, or at least on demand tracking? cos fitbit one only for sleep tracking nia..

is the calories count for exercise in apple watch accurate?
is base on exercise type of profile or can track any type of exercise?

thinking to get aw7 non-cellular version for tracking calories + sp02 +ecg

why malaysia so slow
cant wait to buy it already

I know 😂 either i get some old iphone (8/x) or an ipod touch as i did ask apple specialist they said can use ipod touch to use the spo2 and ecg features

Go for XS or XR, fast enough and affordable.

Btw normally for apple watch, if the new series comes out, how much does the older version price drop? Significant or not ?

better get iPhone 11....not too expensive now. I would suggest you get iPhone first before your Apple Watch. haha.

Haha. I know. Probably will get during cny depends on bonus la 😅
Really tempting to get the nike version

iPhone 12 drops rm500 after 13 comes out if I am not mistaken, not sure about older models. I think some models have discontinued, so it’s depending on whether there are old stocks available.

Heard from my friend, the Apple Watch S6 is quite accurate (95%) for Aerobic exercise eg: running, cardio, HIIT etc, but not so accurate in calories count for weight lifting exercise.

Both

Removed.

great.. cant wait for it to release.

this good enough for me, mainly is to track my cardio like skipping, jumping jack and so, weight lifting i doubt can burn so much calories hahaha

wonder when we can start preorder

Seems like Apple Malaysia don't bring in Titanium, only Aluminum and Stainless Steel.

Very keen on the Stainless Steel case this time round, don't want to go hunting for a screen protector / case anymore.

I see many with aluminium didn’t use the casing/tp still no issue

Yep, I used my S5 for 2 years without casing and it’s fine. Probably depend on what type of work that you do.

this year s7 got so many color options.. me think either midnight or starlight, the green somehow looks good tho.

I knock my watches quite often - my current Series 5 has taken a few hits throughout its journey with me - thankfully I had a case on it. My previous versions of AW suffered cracks / scratches etc.

Weight lifting quite accurate as per standard caloric calculation per 30mins.

can order already!!!

Yup. Just saw at apple website.

just can view price only
dunno when only can order...

btw i found out nike series 7 are cheaper than normal series 7,
whats the issue ya?

checking in. Still no idea when can order for the watch right?

I think same price. Which model?

normal series 7 vs nike series 7,
i think is the watch strap cheaper,
so makes the nike series 7 cheaper.

There's also normal series with rubber band i think. Same price as nike.
Will see if there's any offer for aw7 online

Nike version always have better value, you get Nike exclusive watchface too.

I also thought can order already but the add to bag button is greyed out

Same price rite ? I saw both start from RM 1749

can buy Watch without a band...?

No. well, maybe u can. go find those repair shops. maybe they have broken watches that they repair already and selling it off without the band.

why would u want to buy without the band? Because you already have band(s)?

Found some nice 3rd party bands...

Yes, look out for carousell or mudah, I’ve seen people sell without the band, but the price is probably close to those that comes with the band...

you could buy and sell the band

I wonder if anyone owned the Braided Solo Loop band from the previous Series 6 - how does it hold up on a day to day use?

Thinking of getting this version instead.

Hi just want to check..if I get a Apple Watch gps cellular model series 7 fr Singapore..it should be compatible with e sim from msian telco? Thanks

wat color u guys planning to get? seems like this year color abit off..

my wrist is 14.5cm. should i get the 41 or 45mm?

most probably Midnight that's the darkest shade (that i could afford)

i think the watch size doesnt matter to your wrist, its only affect the band.
you can go to try the watch at retail shop.

i might be taking starlight

Im also thinking to go loop since look easy to wear. Just pakai je.
But my job seems kinda sweaty and afraid it will stink 😂
So normal band it is

Its washable thou, easy to dry too. Something like the Nike sports band (fabric).

yea i guess so...i will go without casing or tp

depend on how u bang it i guess...if i not remember wrongly , ppl do complain stainless steel suffer damage too

this good enough

diff band, some are c/w leather link which is much expensive watch band

midnight

from the comments here and most other sites, doesnt seem worth to get the series 7 as an upgrade from series 5 or 6.

Because i dont even have one, im planning to get one.
it will be my first.
Any advice for AW noob like me?

And when issit selling in Malaysia? any rumours?

anyone with apple watch bought iphone 13 from digi freedom package? my cellular on Apple Watch not able to use since settin it up with the new phone.. went to digi they also cant figure it out, so now just unsubscribe from Airsim for me and also filed a support ticket (so far no news yet). Just want to check if anyone else facing similar issue..

In Apple Watch app > Mobile Data > Set Up Mobile Data is greyed out, and the text below mention "Your Digi account is not eligible to enable mobile data .. "

Seems like US will get by 15th Oct

wonder when malaysia can start order

I'm having the same issue with my Apple Watch 5 and iPhone 13 (purchased independently).
Approached Digi The Gardens, and yes, it seems like some issues with their AirSim network as a few users were having similar issues (either brand new or pairing existing watch). So similarly, Digi temporarily unsubscribed the AirSim which I'd used close to 2 years.
I couldn't even use the AirSim with my previous phone now.

This post has been edited by luckyboy84: Oct 12 2021, 11:28 AM

thanks for confirmation! at least now confirm it's Digi issue and not hardware..

I'm suspecting 2 things why they are still "available later".

1) Because when everywhere (TH and SG and all 1st world countries) are able to pre-order last week Friday (8 Oct 2021), SIRIM if not mistaken only approved GPS+Cellular on that same day as pre-order days starts. (Refer below). Might ponder the question why then it isnt approved to be on sale later that night since it's approved in the morning? IDK. Maybe too rush? Who knows. Apple MY knows.
2) Something to do with Apple Pay? Hear me out, in the Apple Pay thread, apparently/allegedly BNM asks banks to pick it up and it's so called due to launch Q4 2021. Q4 is Oct Nov Dec. Maybe they want to launch it at the same time where our Banks are ready to launch it and our banks, are not ready yet. Who knows. Banks and Apple MY knows.

But hey, maybe AP is launched at a later date and the Watch will be launched first.
Btw, anyone knows which country (besides US and other first wave countries) launched AP at the very same time as new iPhones launch/go on sale? Maybe we can reference to that.

just got into apple 'ecosystem' got myself iphone 13 pro max, wonder which version of watch should i get ? (gps or gps+cellular) as for me , i rarely go anywhere without my phone . do I still need the cellular to get 'max' benefits ?

No need. If you said so, go GPS will do. Cellular is just adding a sim/data plan to it only.

how much max price can i get if selling apple watch :

1. Series 5 stainless steel model (40mm, Sport Band, LTE)
2. Series 6 stainless steel model (44mm, sport band*, LTE)

Note:
1. Series 5 have minor scratch (not so noticeable on screen, use without screen protector)
2. Series 6 use with screen protector, the sport band never use before.

Where do you all sell used apple watch?

Thank you

AP been rumors for years that is gonna launch at malaysia, but its never happen, i hope it will be true this time, is more convenient, everything can be done using phone, no need take out my cc. samsungPay been around for few years but this AP still far from behind

cos samsung pay got push for it. and probably they give bank incentive. u think apple will give bank incentive? hahahaha... so don hope la, bank in malaysia very comfortable with so many ewallet around and giving them incentive also most, especially qr pay like china, all use qr pay. better apple make qr pay able to show from watch lol.

i see ppl here keep blame bank no bring in. but should have blame apple instead for charging quite high. if u pay use card, macam double dipping lagi. like tat who wan to implement if no incentive lol.

and if the cost they build "hidden" into the overall cost of the item, consumer wan ka? they owes can say they wont charge extra, but they just markup the price of everything in their shop to cater lo. Like u go parkson shopping, the price tag probably all inclusive the card charges edi, they just don tell u, probably also they get better merchant rate from card service company because they can bring in volume. so it is better pay card cos pay cash no extra benefit.
