just received my AW7 yesterday, ordered on 11.11

may i know if it is normal that when using AW7, notifications only come in (ring + vibrate) on the watch and no longer on the phone? coming from garmin previously so would like some clarification (on the garmin both watch and phone will vibrate)

not sure if it has been asked before or not (search didnt yield the correct results), but are there any recommended third party chargers that is able to fast charge the AW7? thinking of getting extra if possible to put in office +/- for travel; or is fast charge only possible with apple's own charger?

I use Anker dual 40w PD charger. Bought during payday voucher + coin ~ RM90. So far so good

thanks for the reply

i think i should frame my question better, as i'm actually looking for the magnetic wireless fast charger, and not the wall plug. wall plug wise i have plenty of PD capable GAN charger at home and office, so should be fine

Finally gotten around to going to the Apple Store @ TRX. After going through the diagnosis, I was able to do a swap for RM 449 due to the battery level being less than 80%. There is no battery replacement. It is actually a device swap. Thankfully they even accepted my old unit which has a scratch on the glass (but the glass was not broken) at no extra cost.

However, the procedure takes 1-2 weeks, so it's not something that can be done one the spot.

I did ask whether it could be done via mail-in service, but I got the impression that they couldn't guarantee that it would be at the RM 449 cost without running the diagnostics to verify the battery condition first.

The only sad part of this whole story is that I could not reactivate my Digi AirSim for my cellular plan; CelcomDigi discountinued it sometime last year and I would need to upgrade to a more expensive plan to qualify for watch cellular service (which also increased to RM 20/watch, on top of the more expensive postpaid plan).

definitely useful to keep this info in mind, my S7 is currently at 85% battery health, might need to do this in the near future
However it does make me wonder if apple still keeps stocks for series 7, or will they replace with the latest model (aka paying RM449 for an upgrade to Series 10) sweat.gif

Hi guys, anyone did actually bought third party charger that can do fast charge? cos it is hassle to bring cable around everywhere i go.

i bought ESSAGER ES-WC13, it's slower than original apple fast charger but faster than the first gen AW charger

mine is currently 75%, i believe they will have plenty of refurbished s7 for all batt replacement or warranty coverage.

haha i see. i thought since they dont open up the watch to swap the batteries, they would replace with brand new ones drool.gif maybe one of the terms of the service is the replacement battery health doesnt have to be 100%? hmm.gif

Replacement with a newer model is rarely done, it happens only when there are no available equivalent parts. Possibly that also only applies if it was done under AppleCare (+?).

That is not likely at this point of the AW7 lifecycle.

The replacement AW7 battery was 100% in the Battery menu.

alright thumbsup.gif essentially just wishful thinking on my part haha
