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

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.
*
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 hmm.gif

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

QUOTE(andrewtho @ Oct 9 2021, 09:39 AM)
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.
*
depend on how u bang it i guess...if i not remember wrongly , ppl do complain stainless steel suffer damage too

QUOTE(deepan84 @ Oct 9 2021, 02:40 PM)
Weight lifting quite accurate as per standard caloric calculation per 30mins.

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.

*
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.
*
yup thats true...apple ma hahaha
they set their standard to high...take it or leave it doh.gif

even iphone also cannot add lol.

cos no apple store officially in malaysia. apple online store is all supported by apple SG, sadly speaking. Probably is due to kangtao problem. malaysia kangtao alot.
*
u can still purchase the applecare+ after u get your device via website, but u need to have sg cc to complete the purchase.

usable here, no issue to claim the warranty or so as long as u go authorize apple service centre

ah i see. i saw applecare+ also if repair for accidental damage need pay service fee lol. seems like very hefty to repair also. 140sgd not cheap lol. maybe better just buy rugged casing.
*
actually is worth for the money as for app, it cover battery health so if the battery having problem u can change it for free, if without applecare+ u need pay more than this amount

QUOTE(ben3003 @ Oct 15 2021, 12:45 PM)
ordered mine, nike series 7 starlight with navy band. i really dig that starlight color. altho ppl say is tarnished silver color lol.

it adds a subtle tint, more modern color compared to the "uncle" silver.

ok la my age also my friends children grow up abit can call me uncle edi  sweat.gif
*
i prefer the dark color, so i get the nike midnight with black sport loop biggrin.gif

plan to get leather link for regular usage

Depending on your usage of the watch, choosing the right case/protection is better when you have the watch at hand to feel the fit of it. I have had tried many cases and protection and the curved glass on the Apple Watch is a bitch. Constantly scratches non-stop when I go mountain biking.
*
either is will bulky casing or just get scratch biggrin.gif

It's not that, the casing that covers the screens but doesn't keep it sealed, will get condensation when exercising or swimming. Which doesn't allow you to interact with the watch. The other alternatives just protect the edges which leave the screen unprotected and prone to scratches. Then there are those plastic screen protectors but doesn't do well to cover all because the screen is curved. Hopefully someone makes a curved tempered glass screen protector for the Apple watch series.
*
i think use without tp or casing...
i see on previous version, even put on the screen protector it cant last well as u will accidentally peel it off

their system works in a mystery and a strange way, but I doubt they will be so cunning to push the later order first, coz people can still cancel the order as long as they are not shipped, might backfire and lose revenue instead..

hahaha really no idea, got friend order later than me but now is expecting to receive the watch soon mad.gif

Mine also order on 14 Oct till now no movement at all
