Hi guys.

Bought the AW7 cellular last year.
but up till now, never used the cellular function.


It will be only rm10 Airsim from Digi monthly, but issit worth it?


Been used to use AW without cellular for so long, so far survive ok je.


For those who uses cellular, any extra perks besides being able to use ur AW without phone nearby?
contemplating to start the Airsim for my AW

Im curious to know abt this as well.


Btw, Digi told me need to subscribe to rm90 postpaid plan and above to entitled for AirSim.
Im on the Digi38 now, so the amount to top up is kind of ridiculous to justify, for now. Unless i find AW cellular is smth that i need for certain functions.

I have no AW yet as of now, but coming release i’m planning to get one.

WAIT.
before u decide on anything.


yes, previously need RM90 postpaid plan, but now no more.

to get Digi Airsim for your AW, u need a Postpaid 60.
for AirSim, thats RM10 additional.

Be careful when u ask Digi.
recently i went to Digi, but the guy doesnt understand. Just said "Now we dont have AW".
I told him i need the AirSim, then he looks confused.

Then after i tried to explain and he said, can use AW without the AirSim, i got annoyed and he called another person to help me.

The other person is more knowledgeable and helpful. Explain to me the requirements, whats the cost, how to connect/subsricbe to AirSim.

Thanks for this updates. I'll reapproach their CS again on this when AW8 launched.
Btw, Pay will be here soon. Even Shopee have the inactive payment option on this already, just waiting for it to go Live.

it really depends on your needs. you can still get calls etc, when your phone isnt around.
i use mine for jogs/runs without bringing out my phone and it feels great working out without distractions (the phone itself).
main perks is being able to stream music/podcasts while working out

i actually went to a waterpark last week and kept my phone away in a safe (they provided safety box). still needed to purchase items and use apple pay. so decided to subscribe to the cellular data.

having some issues yesterday though. my phone was away, already subscribed but my watch no data.

Apple Pay should works fine without the data biggrin.gif

Sometimes I forgot to bring phone to works or go to production area the watch can pick up phone and reply message. biggrin.gif

By the away, recently road accident my watch trigger as fall alert and try to call the emergency contact and watch will also call and notify local authority if it detect you fall while in oversea without valid data / call plan (limited country supported)

So... Basically I think the watch is usefully in emergency situation? tongue.gif

FYI, Digi watch only work with 4G only while Celcom / Maxis work in 3G/4G
In the Digi bill got itemized how many data used by watch.

owh didnt know that apple pay works without data. i thought data needed.
anyway, another reason i subscribed to it is so that i can receive calls in the waterpark.

im using Digi, and it sucks to know that it only works with 4G.
cant understand the logic.

sorry do all these functions only work if it's a cellular apple watch?

coz i remember for fall alert if gps, you need to have your phone nearby. same goes for picking up phone and reply message you will need phone nearby too.

unless for cellular apple watch, it can work with wifi is it? confused.gif
