Did you use the measurement tape from Apple's website and did you follow their sizing or go one size down?

And how is the fit? Just nice, too tight or too loose

Sorry, have to be sure because Apple Store MY doesn't allow free returns/exchange doh.gif

I use the measurement from Apple website. My wrist size is 140mm, and its on the low side of Size 3 (near to size 2). Snug fit but not tight.
I'll advice go with the Apple recommended size, no need for upsize or downsize it, unless u prefer smth loose or really tight.

Sorry guys for being annoying with my posts here.

I wanna share on Digi AirSim.
Its available for RM10 monthly fee now for Digi Postpaid 40 since October 2022, which is weeks ago.

I just upgraded my plan from Digi Postpaid 38 to Digi Postpaid 40 just now, and with AirSim subscription, making my total commitment to RM50 only, excluded taxes and other chargeable add-ons.

If you are currently on Digi Postpaid 40 and above, you can activate the AirSim from Apple Watch app in your iPhone, no need walk-in to store. There's no configuration from their end, its more like an add-ons service.

What’s the longest day you use before needing to recharge the watch? Perhaps with low consumption mode?

I’m considering to buy for my wife.

Hi all, joining the club. Was using AWSE. Now give to daughter to use.

Replaced with AWS8 Aluminium GPS 45mm Starlight. Ordered from Switch 12/10. Pleasantly surprised with delivery on 13/10. Their website said 17/10.

After around 4days usages with my AW8 GPS model:

1) WIFI: After you off it, it will turn on after sometimes by itself (it has a button on control centre,). so im no longer off the wifi. Apple support page said only cellular vision are able to off ,but will auto turn on until the next day.

2) Watch face: No much watch face i can use to display the heart rate. some nice watch faces are not able to display the Hr, only the icon. sweat.gif

3) Heart Rate: i was from fitbit tracker before AW, so i thought the HR will be real time like Fitbit, but AW8 is not real time. It seem will start measures when you have changes on your HR like form sitting to walking, running, climbing staircase. Else it will only update after certain period of time ( the period is unclear, it could be 3minutes until 20m).

4) Battery: my purpose to hv this AW8 is all about health measuring, so i turn off all the messages apps, email and calls on AW ( im personally find notifications are disturbing, and i only check on phone when i want to do so). Only allow health related apps for the background activities & notification. i always on the "Always Display Mode" when i go out, but on the"theater mode" when im home, because seldom checking the time, and HR ( no heavy activities biggrin.gif).... with this settings, battery will remain 50% and above at night (morning is around 80% after wake up & sleep tracking).

5) Charging: from 50% to 100%, around 30-40 min.(im using my macbook usb-c adapter.) Satisfied with the charging speed.

As far as i know, Apple Watch cellular only supports 3 telcos in Malaysia, which are Maxis, Digi and Celcom.
Other than this, no AW cellular supports.

eSim is different thing. Its cardless sim for iPhone/iPad. Technically they should work for AW as well, but it seems Apple is restricting the access to AW for these 3 telco only.

Digi named the AW cellular as AirSim, and keep the name eSim for iPhone/iPad cardless/simless access.

Review on solo loop.

My wrist measured at 140mm, hence im at beginning of size 3.

There’s a little gap/freeplay for my wrist here with size 3 solo loop, and i can easily snug in my little fingers without any resistance from the band.

It doesnt really feel uncomfortable but i wished its more snug fit as i start to feel a little annoyed with the little wobbling on my wrist. This is 5th days of using it, and i don’t think it get loose so fast as i only wear it at night when I'm slacking at home.

The weight of stainless steel can be a factor as it possessed greater momentum in comparison to the lighter weight Aluminium version.
