I'm a newbie for AW. Received my 40mm Gold Stainless Steel Case with Gold Milanese Loop on Friday however I just don't feel it suits me. I'm looking at the Titanium.

If I wish to exchange;
- can I do so after using it?
- care to share the procedure to those who have done so?
- I need to include everything even though I want the same strap after exchange?

Which 3rd party apps is great for Whatsapp on AW? I know I can reply directly, but to start a new conversation, not able to.

Since I have activated my cellular and charge $10.70 for activation, will I be charge again if I activate on a new watch once I exchanged?

To Apple Watch S5 owner, care to share if the always-on-display, you can turn off by schedule? meaning only on from 7am to 9pm, bcos I want it to be off when I'm sleeping.

Have been using black aluminium series 0 to this year. Then I buy silver stainless steel this year. I intend to use this stainless steel watch for at least 3 years. Unlikely to change watch even there is next round of major change or innovation Eg watch design change from “boring square” to “circle design”, battery life of 1 week, etc.

Decide to buy this year is due to AOD. Otherwise I may have waited again for next year Apple Watch. No urgency to update every year since I use Apple Watch primarily for time, notification, music and sports

My series 0 watch has zero scratches and never drop before. Battery not so good but can last almost one day.

If you do not need the asesthics, just buy aluminium. I am deciding between midnight blue sport band and gold aluminium vs stainless steel and silver Milanese loop.

Since I wear it for work to match business shirt, I decide to buy stainless steel and Milanese loop.


Thats my thinking as well. I want a tougher watch that is more scratch resistant that can handle all the outdoorsy stuff I do, but at the same time look dressy as a watch. That being said, I will need to commit to wearing at least 3 years or more as it is quite a significant investment. I will have to think carefully about it.

Went to check out the Silver Titanium watches at Apple Store. It’s only a few days, and the demo sets have obvious scratches. It looks uglier than SS scratches, as it’s the coating that’s falling off.

Looks like the nano coating doesn’t last vs the PVD coatings on the black watches?

I ever try 44 silver aluminium with silver Milanese loop. Almost want to go for this combination. Non-cellular model at $729 only.

Use naked for Apple Watch since day 1. Never use protector or case

Think just take extra care not to drop it or hit it against hard object.

yes, bcos I wear my apple watch to track my sleep, So, mean I need to turn off manually b4 I sleep?
Teach you a trick. I track sleep with sleep++

Activate your sleep tracking app, Turn on airplane mode, turn on theater mode, cover your screen with your palm. Go sleep. If you fully charged it before you sleep, with 8 hrs of sleep, you will wake up with approx 91-95% battery life. Should be able to continue your day with enough juice.



Btw anyone face this bug on aw5 airplane mode? I turned ON airplane mode and I still got notifications and incoming calls!?!!?? Really GGWP I have number share on my watch

Does switching on Theater mode alone cause the AOD to be off?
