How about your TMT unit? Is it Vietnam or China?

China box whiter. And my China unit has rough surface like I shared earlier. Vietnam also has the same but lesser. China one I didn’t check so through but when I see today’s unit is from Vietnam, I turn on all lights in my house to check for scratches 😂Psychologically I prefer China

I just ordered this from Shoppee.
Ringke Slim, they just listed it last night

It comes in 2.
Anyone want to buy transparent unit only can let me know. I’m taking black.

They only have Matte Black...maybe the transparent one will shocase the jetblack better....my main priority is to avoid breaking the glass as i am wearing it to sleep. (note: not to repeat my previous apple watch shattering glass when i use naked)

And so i return Apple W10 from Apple Online Store. I packed the 3 days old watch and wires back nicely and into the brown carton box that came with it. The pick up from DHL came and did not provide any labels, take the watch from me and left. I checked the status and it says item completed picked up. But today morning it went back to waiting for pick up. Called Apple and they say just wait.............hope it didn't go missing


Update: After calling apple, luckily status updated to collected. So it ain't missing after all.

Trying this UNIQ braided strap. Hope it is better than sports loops for sleeping in.

Also added Ringke Slim case in last photos. I feel safe with this bump/scratch protection case. But a warning though, the 2 speaker holes and the mic hole doesn’t match. Off by 1/2 a mm and covering. Thinking if I want to return it.

Yes Smart Devil film. 1mm around not fully cover the glass.

The first one on the China one is smooth and very good oleophobic. Probably i use only 4 days. Not so much on this second piece on the Vietnam made. Lots of finger prints after just few days. I have to carry a wiping cloth with me. But so far both doesnt have any dust trap.

The oleophobic will eventually wear off regardless how good. Probably will get a oleophobic applicator and apply every now and then

I returned and it was collected by DHL on 22 Oct, and on 23rd Oct night already received full 100% refund from Apple to my credit card.

Can you check the speaker holes and mic holes, is the case aligned to it? Ringke one is offsetted. i can only see 2/3 speaker hole and 1/2 of the mic hole.

Can share link of Spigen? I cannot find black so i settle with Ringke. And i prefer Rinke because the branding is smaller and at corner. Minus the misalignment

Because i bought another one from TMT and is cheaper

Yes. Abit off for Rinke black. But still ok
