ahhh happy for you guys! I just got sms from gdex saying mine is being delivered today!! my so excited for my first apple watch!!

Same here. First time AW user.
The excitement is no joke, cant wait to get back from work to toy with it.

Just like kid get christmas present.. haha

Woah thats was fast. If only i stay in KL haha. Congrats but why 3? Buy for wife and kid?

Yes, u can read my mind.
Buy for wife and extra band for myself.

This is my first AW,Here are somethings wanna ask..
1) can I off the wifi (mine is just gps model), what will be affected if I do so? Since I m using it for health tracking, not for email, message, calling, off the wifi maybe can save some battery?

2) I want to show the heart rate on watch , but the watch face only show the heart rate icon, not the number, am I missing something in my settings?

Married person knows each other well. Haha

1) Can. I turned mine off all the time.
2) Cannot.

Thank you.

do note some features require wifi to be on (mask on FaceID unlock for eg.)

but tbh the power draw from wifi/BT on is very very low. you could squeeze extra minutes in battery life at most, not so worth the extra change

Hmm... not using watch to unlock the phone.. since the phone now can unlock with mask on.
Anyway, i just read form Apple help page about the wifi, it said only cellular +gps is able to turn off, GPS only model couldn’t do that....but why I can turn it off? https://support.apple.com/en-my/HT204562

I think you should have waited for the newer version of the charger that adds fast charging for Apple Watch.

Yes, i read and watched a lot youtube reviews on that as well, but dont know when it will be on our shore.
Btw, i get this at great discounted price, so i pulled the trigger anyway.

I appreciates your heads up on this.

hi guys, wanna check, Apple Watch series 8 doesn't have nike edition this year?

No more Nike edition because all watch supports Nike watch face already.
You can opt for Nike sport band if you purchase from Apple Online.

anyone tried or considering ordering AW8 with braided solo loop?

saw good reviews on the loop, and considering getting this band as my dual usage band for sports and work

Im considering the braided solo loop earlier, but ended up went for the silicon solo loop. With solo loop, I dont get the bump at the inner wrist from the band overlapping bulge.

Really need to use some strength to put it on because of the strong elasticity. Need to stretch it wide open from the size of ur wrist to the size of ur palm.

But overall, i follow the recommended size from Apple and it fit nicely to my wrist.

I believed the braided version is less strong on the elasticity compared to full silicon. Quality and comfort wise is indisputable. Apart from the weight of watch that i get used to after period of time from wearing, i dont really feel anything with the band and tend to forget abt it.

The braided version look aesthetically more pleasing while can maintain the overall comforts and quality of the silicon. But take note that braided version tends to absorb water and sweat, so u need proper maintenance to keep it hygiene. Takes time to dry it as well after each cleaning. This is the reason i went for silicon, where it doesnt get soaked.

Just a little bit of sharing from having both aluminum and stainless steel for a night, the weight is stainless steel and aluminum have big impact in the wrist feedback.

Personally, I like the light weight of aluminum more, but the aesthetic and durability of stainless steel. Aluminum still a winner in my honest opinion.

Thanks for the model number. I'm waiting for the new one. I've been using the old one (white color) since May 2021 and it's still working. Definitely worth the money.

How was the white after so long usage?
Im concern with white turning yellowish hence i go for black.

Here is mine. Ops i mean my wife haha
