Apple Watch

[armadilloshield]

Thanks for your info.
I guess have to train to run faster, if want to use apple watch

Yes it’s about there. Less if paired to AirPods

Because iOS 11 till now still drains your battery faster than usual. Wait for 11.1.

maybe... let's see

Yesterday, I charged my watch till 100% and wore to sleep, in the morning battery left 99%.
Then I ran for around 1 hour, and I notice the battery drop to 81%.
Is this normal, if running with GPS + heart rate, the battery will drop close to 20%/hr?
.

Not sure about this as I have yet to use it to exercise monitor. However, I remember there is a setting that is ito measure and monitor the heart beat while at rest or also during workout. Not sure which but I did off that setting to just measure while at rest. Maybe this will help to extend the battery life.

my AW is showing 74% battery life as of this post on 1246am 13 Oct, last charge was at 12 Oct 710am. Amazed, though wore for a day to office with notification. Today didn't reply much WhatsApp from the AW and also today was using the Nike+ Watch Face.

this morning I ran again, but carry my iphone with me.
Using the same nike+ run club, and notice in 1 hour only battery only reduce 10%. Seems not too bad then

If so, meaning max I can run for 5 hours only??
Meaning, I can't wear it during my full marathon?
Did anyone try to use your apple watch to run a marathon?
I'm a slow runner, normally completed around 5 hr 50 mins.

To have longer battery life, you can turn off the heart rate monitoring.

I want to start using before esim.

Anyways singtel already have esim.

formal channel yet to sell the sim here.

I will just get the sim first. I felt cellar version is Apple's first, might not be stable yet though usable. And I am sure if keep using the watch to call, teh battery will drain fast... Though it is convenient when go jogging or other activity with the watch only...

 

[chris888222]

Isn't the eSIM supposed to be tied to the same phone account as your main phone?

Apologies for any silly questions. Not very familiar with the watch.

as per apple site, some non-sg carriers will have it by end of this year.

I am guessing, our SG telco will support it from Q1 next year unless they allow early selected trials.

Does it mean that if i get the apple watch LTE from overseas (i.e Australia, Germany etc), i will still be able to use it in SG once the esim for apple watch is made available from the local telco? The hardware in the LTE watch is uniform across all releases world-wide? Thanks!

It does support the various bands that’s in Singapore. Like Band 3 and 7 (1800 and 2600, respectively) and the extra band on Singtel’s, Band 8 (900).

But aren’t sure if it’s carrier or region locked to the origin of purchase.

Thanks Tech Geek!

There are 2 versions of LTE, don't get the USA version, it won't work.

Australia and Japan model has the same model number which is
Apple Watch Series 3
Model A1889 (38mm)
Model A1891 (42mm)

These ones will work, but I can't find an online store to buy from yet.

 

[benz1987]

Yeah Tremor, I was thinking of the Aussie version of the Apple Watch LTE. Thanks for the information!
