Black trail loop is easier to purchase with the watch. the other loops can be bought separately. it's definitely the most comfortable of the 3.
I find myself using the solo more often but that's just me.

Wow. Nice collection you have there man! ☑️

How are the other non-Ultra loops fitting your Ultra? I read a reviewer mentioning that the non-Ultra loops have sort of a slimmer connector to the Watch Ultra (possibly due to Ultra’s much larger size) and it would seem like there is a tiny gap. Am personally thinking of getting the Braided Solo Loop. 🫠

If switch customer can get green alpine loop M from their pre-order cannot be machines forget to order from apple right

After machines facebook post on 13 oct showing people walk in buy apple watch all people complain in their facebook page until they have to delete all those comment  doh.gif

The Switch outlet called me to say my Green (L) Alpine Loop AWU was ready last Saturday for collection. However, I already bought the Starlight (M) Alpine Loop AWU from the same outlet the day before (last Friday) by letting me use the RM300 pre order deposit as store credit, but they just didn’t update their system yet. So as of last Saturday, they would suddenly have an extra Green (L) AWU to be sold to any walk-in customer. 🫠

Congrats! You bought it via Walk-in? biggrin.gif

And be careful with the smaller sizes of the Alpine Loop. There is a high chance the Titanium buckle on the Loop will scratch the top of your AWU titanium body - when you are taking out the Loop from your hand (through your hand). Even for my M size Alpine Loop, I need to be very careful as well. L size would be better but then I think for Asian wrists (on standard slim build Malaysian), it may be too big. Haha.

For Alpine Loop users, here’s how to remove the Watch from your wrist securely and prevent the buckle to knock on the screen that might get scratches.

Excellent tip. Thanks bro. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Never thought of using two fingers to easily pull the strap up or prevent it from going down all the way. ☑️

anyone of you using maxis watch plan? i have been told i cant subscribe to their plan if i didnt purchase the watch with them. is it true?

Not true. You can use your own Apple Watch instead of one purchased from Maxis.

Wah this Apple Watch ultra is so huge on women’s hands!!

Yes, large indeed. But still looks good anyway!!! 🥳🥳🥳

Remember the Launch Video by Apple for the Ultra? That’s a lady running with tiny wrists but rocking the Ultra perfectly. 🫠

impulse purchased liao  sweat.gif

walked home with Ultra White Ocean band cause they didnt have the green alpine loop for sale, or any alpine ones. so i picked the one which is waterproof hehe

gotta say the band while super snug its still quite PITA to put on. im too used to standard sports band being one handed operation. this one has to kiap the watch abit more before can lock
*
Hahaha. So fast! Congrats bro! Ocean Band White is nice! Goes well with work attire too. Think it’s also easy to clean. ☑️

Hi, want to ask those bought apple watch from Apple Store Malaysia.

I received the invoice mentioned it's from Singapore Apple. Also, asked machines in lazada, they dont recognize the invoice if not buy in malaysia.

Do you all know how it works? if need to submit for warranty repair, just in case.

No issues on this. I’ve claimed before.

If you’re extra worried, just print out the order confirmation email from Apple Store Malaysia Online.

I actually went to the store to activate and was informed there was no need to.
Everything setup from my iPhone was enough.

Still contemplating whether to add Cellular or not. At Rm18/month by Maxis, it would be burning money if it’s not gonna actually be used. Most of the time my iPhone is with me, even during my runs outside. 🤔

You don't seem to have a use case that requires Cellular. Getting it now is burning money.
You don't need it.

Maybe one day you may, activate it then. But you are safe in the knowledge that your watch can support Cellular. And activating it on the iPhone for Maxis takes only a few minutes when you need it.

don’t need cellular if you have your iphone with you all the time …save the rm18 smile.gif

QUOTE(marfccy @ Oct 18 2022, 12:09 PM)
same here, in the end its up to you if you really want to? i prefer my watch to be less drained so i wont use, phone always with me anyway

RM10/18 is like a lunch or two meal these days. quite affordable if your original bill isnt high in first place

QUOTE(shevagol @ Oct 19 2022, 06:41 AM)
Deactivated the cellular service before this as i only use my Garmin Fenix for my daily 5K run. Now i have a new Ultra watch i’ll be using it for my main work out device.

As a daily runner, i feel more comfortable running without phone. But I need the cellular for music streaming not so much of the notification. Choosing music and downloading it to the watch might be the solution (if i want to save RM18) but im too lazy for that.

Cellular plan very easy to activate but quite difficult to deactivate (need to call 123) and it will take around 2-3 days for them to process.

Thanks guys for all the excellent advice above! notworthy.gif notworthy.gif notworthy.gif
Truly appreciate it!

And yeah, come to think of it, I might just give it a go. The freedom of not having to carry the phone with me is intriguing and tempting to have! Having a large 6.7” iPhone in my running attire pocket isn’t exactly the most convenient thing. laugh.gif

Wow. I don’t even need to call Maxis Customer Service to activate Cellular on my Apple Watch Ultra actually.

Just have to click ‘Set Up Mobile Service’ in the Watch app on iPhone. Just key in my IC number and that’s it, boom, activated! 😱😱

Thanks again guys. 🫡

Tomorrow’s early morning run will be a tad more convenient for me, I guess. happy.gif

its always a next level kind of thing to go out without actually holding a phone these days

we long forgotten the days of 90-00s when everyone actually can just go out without phones  laugh.gif

Yeah. I somewhat miss the days when life was moving so much slower in pace. But as a gadget lover, the era we live in now is so exciting everyday!

I suggest for you to activate Pay on your watch as well to maximise your phoneless running. Hope to see more paywave enabled vending Machine in Malaysia like in Tokyo!

Oh yeah. Good reminder. Thanks! notworthy.gif
