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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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)?

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.

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

Those keen on W7, there you go.

Did not order. I clicked early to just view the watches for est time. Some bands combo will ship earlier since lesser demand for it.

IINM, they mou diu/dun care. As long someone is there to pick/collect the parcel.

Keeping up to date with Switch's stock availability list.

Then when I go to the outlet, out of stock.

Seems like AW7 is not meant for me.

Hi and welcome to the forum! Hope you get your Watch soon!

But don't be too excited. A lot of orders also started from SG but then our Apple products loves to "return" to their motherland China (Shanghai or ShenZhen) before coming to MY. It's just my suspect that SG handles our orders and they put the order onto the plane to CN to be picked up. Technically, they are flying barcodes/empty cargo to CN to pick it up and then delivered to MY.

If the plane lands in SZB (Subang airport), prepare to have a full day of "custom clearance". For instance, if your order arrive in SZB by 8-10am, it will be "pending custom clearance" until 7 or 8pm before it moves out of SZB.

guys, what makes you guys pull the trigger to get AW? I'm capable of owning one and still pass the month without dipping into my savings but I'm curious on the reason. Let me list mine.

1) Irregular Heart Rythm (I'm a little on the + side and has some family health history)
2) Rings (motivate me to move. right now i've been moving but I feel that the AW can really push me further as I only set 8k steps per day)
3) Consistent notifications and able to reply on the fly (Currently on Mi Band 4 and the notifications are not consistent. It keeps disconnect and I have to go to Bluetooth settings to turn my iPhone's bluetooth on and off so that it "refreshes" and knows to send me notifications. Also, I'm heavily on Messenger so a quick reply on the fly would be great!)
4) Aesthetic. (I'm not gonna life, it looks an absolute beauty and fashionable and I love to be fashionable.)
5) Apple Pay (I'm was waiting, I'm waiting, and I'm still waiting )

May have missed out something here but I these are what I can think off. Do let me know yours and maybe, convince me to purchase one.

Poison consumed. Here's mine. Managed to snatch one from an outlet.

here you go.

Some ppl dw to go out, some ppl wants to have their purchases history in their Apple account, some ppl prefers to support direct merchant.

Thousands of reasons but it's good because we then have choices.

"New" red watch faces

Ex MiBand user here. Yes, i was also like u, hentam sana sini. Please take care of your AW. Don't simply hentam sana sini. If you are gonna hit here and there, I recommend at least a protective case. Otherwise, your wife later see already also heart break. hahaha

I gotten the product red one. Call me stingy but I did not spend alot on case. I just bought a cheap one from Shopee but after 2-3 days, I decide to stop using it because, I like to wash my watch as I bath which the water will go in the case which I have to remove the case. Mind you the case is plastic (not TPU/rubber) where it might leave a scratch on the Watch if I keep doing so. So I decide to let it be naked, and just be super careful.

As for straps, looking. I really like the Milanese loop but it’s so expensive (from Apple).
