Hi all, wanna ask if the watch ultra able to use the series 8/9 magnetic charger ? Is it compatible?

Ordered too. At least it’s not as crazy as buying the iPhone 15.

But I believe AWU will arrive much earlier than the estimate dates as they’re not as mainstream as iPhones.

Only thing is APR doesn’t always have the type of band/size and color that you want.

I just got charged for the AWU on my credit card..

Apple only charges you once they ship the item.

I'm not sure if you're with the same bank, but I have called to confirmed with the bank and the amount has been charged, for my bank, unposted means it's 'floating' just in case there's any dispute or it's an unauthorised transaction and the bank will cancel it if it's proven. Anyway my status has changed to 'preparing to ship'.

It’s coming sooner than expected 😉

I think the delivery dates will be updated shortly. Mine already updated to 19-26 oct. So should be shipping today.

AWU newbie question.
I understand the watch uses esim card right. And we don't need to go to the telco to set it up, can set it up via iPhone.I'm referring to the data only sim. I'm on digi celcom.
Am I right so far?

Thanks for the info. Guess no choice but have to go to Digi store once the watch arrives tomorrow.

Ahhh, thank you for that info. Saves me a trip to Digi store. Ya I’ll give them a call tomorrow morning but I think should be eligible la, am on the highest package 😅

Just received my AWU from DHL. But didn’t have time to open it yet. Meetings after meetings 😅

I ordered 2 AWU actually. The one that arrived today the ocean band. Delivery for tomorrow is the trail loop. But after seeing some YouTube videos of the Alpine loop Indigo, it looks so beautiful, so might order the Alpine indigo.
Other brands I bought are the Spigen band, Skinarma band and a third party black ocean.

As I’ve not open the AWU yet , can’t really tell if it’s(skinarma) comfortable on the wrist but materials wise it does feel comfortable to the touch. I think of all the bands, the trail loop should be the most comfortable but doesn’t look good on the wrist 😜

Yes if it’s with delivery courier, it means delivery

Take lots of pictures ya.. .

Comparing the straps I have, the trail loop is really the most comfortable but as I workout quite frequently,unfortunately it can’t be my daily wear as sweat just doesn’t go well with the soft material. Next comfortable is the alpine loop, the skinarma alpine is extremely lightweight hence you don’t feel you’re having a strap on at all. Quality wise it’s as good if not better than the original Apple Alpine loop. So I’d recommend to save some money and get the skinarma band if you're getting an extra alpine loop. The stitches, material, workmanship and cutting is just top notch.
Ocean loop is straight forward. It’s silicone/rubber like material is typical of a swimming/ dive band , as such if you’re an active person, this is the perfect and most suitable band , which I’m using most of the time. Comparing the Apple Original and third party ocean band, the difference is obvious. The Apple ocean band is just so well and perfectly constructed you can see the quality. Doubt the third party ocean band can withstand daily sweat and abuse if you’re an active person.
Just ordered the Bellroy Venture band this morning and will see if it’s worth the price.

The Skinarma is just as comfortable as my original Apple alpine loop. The materials are slightly softer than the apple hence I find it a pinch more comfy. The hook is made of titanium too so price wise this is the better buy compared to my original alpine loop bought from apple store.

Almost a month after using it, the band is still like new, no sight of wear and tear. Have used it during sleep and it's almost as comfortable as the trail loop. Conclusion, definitely worth getting it.
