Hi

I am considering to get a watch. Can anyone share more insights on the topics below

1. Whatsapp messages and calls usage with watch - how useful is it?
2. if I decided to buy cellular function, how does the sim work? For example I use GOMO, do I have to sign a new line just for an e-sim for the watch
2.1 Anyone got cellular version able to share their experiences?

THanks!

I think having an Apple Watch with cellular is THE only way to go. Have been enjoying the ease of the watch w/o my phone for my jogs and short trips to neighboring areas .... almost 3 years already. Am on Singtel SIM-ONLY which offers Numbershare ($6/month)

I think GOMO is not supported.

Currently with so many mobile virtual network operators, am i only stuck with choosing M1, Singtel & Starhub? Are there other telcos i can use?

may I know what earpiece you use when you go for jogging?
and the strap for jogging you use nylon strap or?
This nylon strap from Apple and is it secure when you do your running?
(Also worried it would drop when running.)

thinking of saving cost not getting Apple earpiece.

Despite me owning a AirPods Pro for awhile already, i kinda prefer to use my cheaper Xiaomi Airdots Pro for my jogs. I normally use only 1 side btw as I feel comfortable enough listening to my streaming radio/podcast. And thus streaming works only if u have cellular (numbershare)
I’m using a braided loop band. its very secure.

thanks appreciate your sharing, I likely will buy your recommendation Xiaomi airdots since as long as can use can already, don’t need too good….

I also use one Side, as prefer to keep my other ear on “ear out”

I just discover something, Apple Watch maybe September will come out series 8, not sure from past experience, the series 7 price will fall before the release or after the release.

because if buy now in Aug or Sept price fall a bit Kuku feeling….

why not buy from carousel? there’re always sellers with reasonable price point. sometimes there’s credit card promo and suddenly plenty of sellers to choose from.

Based on AW7 experience last year on launch day, is it possible to get an AW without preorder? Thinking whether to preorder or walkin

I encounter something strange. I can reply to whatapps message on my Apple Watch but my friend can’t do it. Her whatapps on Apple Watch only allow her to read then there is a dismiss option instead of reply (available on my Apple Watch). Any idea what ht this is like this?
