Screw myself. No more Titanium for 41mm worldwide. I still think wanna buy from SG, and delay my purchase of AW7 to get AW8 version. No fate with Ti version.

Wonder when MY can start place order.

Hmmm… this time DHL delivery no longer travel from SG to CN then MY. It was from SG directly to KL ( no using flight but lorry now?). Now it is at KL sorting center, so i guess maybe mine one will be arrived earlier than 18/10.
*
DHL finally learned that Malaysia is just a bridge away from Singapore. 😂

Im waiting for my AW8 to be shipped. Currently still under “Preparing to Ship” status.

Agak2 how long can reach penang

Confirm same batch with you. Timing all same.
From my past experiences buying from Apple Online, normally within 3 working days once it reach the Subang airport. Fastest i experienced is within 2 hours upon clearance of custom in Subang airport.

I think so, hopefully they are able to deliver by this late evening since it had passed clearance and processed for delivery from 3am morning.

QUOTE(sin2010 @ Oct 12 2022, 10:04 AM)
Great… but i didn’t get any email from DHL… estimation date still remain the same😅
*
This one I directly access DHL official website and key in the tracking number there.
Then there's a settings to select what stages you would like to receive notifications and through which email/SMS.
That's how i received my email from DHL.

QUOTE(Savor_Savvy @ Oct 12 2022, 10:10 AM)
Is this the only watch that can predict ovulation based on body temperature?
*
Yes, the first generation to have this temperature sensor, comes along with the debut of the ovulation cycle tracking software.
AW8 and Ultra have these features.

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. biggrin.gif

https://www.macrumors.com/review/belkin-3-i...-fast-charging/
This is WIZ017, stated here so everyone knows the new version product code and aware of it.

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.

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.
