Bought mine from HK. Also is an LTE version. Wonder when eSims will become activated?

Got a series 3 Nike and I am quite happy with it, coming in very handy for gym and the Wallet with the watch when checking-in at the airport is brilliant.

Anyone else having issues on the series 4 watch with watchOS 6.0.1?
Poor battery life.
Watch is extremely slow, especially when 'waking' up the screen, takes almost 5 seconds.

Had no issues before upgrading the OS.

6.1 sorts out some of the battery issues. Currently still in beta.

Thanks, hope they sort out the other issues as well.

Did you upgrade your iOS as well?

No I didn’t actually. Is that the issue?

I think it is. Upgraded both phone and watch to latest OS and mine works fine.
Edit: Latest non-beta versions.

Takealot seem to be having some big sales on the AW 5... Going to hold off though, and see what v6 brings to the table... Still sitting my first (and only) v2 – so whatever I do, will be a huge upgrade at some point...

Does anyone else have issues with Workout on their Apple Watch , I have a Series 4 and i often find that the heart rate is very erratic, switches on and off.
Also do you know what the iStores stance is on this. Will they fix this out of warranty?

 

[politallycorrect]

Anyone have a clue when Series 6 is out in SA?

Nope, no idea. You can pre-order from iStore but they don't say what the ETA is.

ok. I wonder if they're taking orders on speculation or if they actually have stuff inbound. Imagine preordering at 10k and they launch at 9...
