Smartwatches and fitness gear, plus recovery tools like massage guns.
The Apple Watch 49mm Natural Titanium Milanese Loop retails for S$279, dropping to S$250.70 on Apple's EPP. Neither Lazada nor Shopee carry it, and with two titanium colours across three sizes, I picked the small to fit my 150mm wrist.
Orange is my favourite colour, but Apple dropped the Orange Alpine Loop from the Apple Watch Ultra 2 lineup. I tracked one down on Shopee's authorised Apple store for S$101.76 after vouchers.
My Apple Watch Series 3 is nearing end-of-life past the four-year mark, though Apple kept it alive another year. Rather than wait, I upgraded to the Apple Watch Edition Series 7 in 45mm Space Black Titanium.
Hydragun is a massage gun for sports recovery, pounding muscles to ease tension and soreness, much like a power drill in shape. With massage guns now trendy, even my wife wanted one. It retails for S$399 with free shipping.
The Casio Pro Trek Smart WSD-F30 is an outdoor smartwatch running Google's Wear OS, the third generation of the Pro Trek line after the WSD-F10 and WSD-F20. It comes in three colours, Orange, Blue, and Black, with orange the standout.
The original Apple Watch Link Bracelet is absurdly expensive, S$668 in Silver and S$798 in Space Black. After spotting a Reddit thread about a replica, I kept it in view, and Lulu Look eventually offered the OULUOQI replica.
Li Xiang has always loved jump ropes, one of the fastest ways to lose weight. After watching YouTube reviews, she settled on Crossrope, whose weighted, interchangeable-rope system stood out. This covers the Starter Kit.
The Apple Watch 42mm Black Sport Loop retails for S$78 in Singapore. I bought mine at Apple Omotesando in Tokyo for about S$68. I'd hoped to use Yodobashi's 5% VISA discount, but their strap selection was limited.
Apple Watch Series 3 in Space Black Stainless Steel with Milanese Loop isn't sold in Singapore. None of the high-end models, Stainless Steel, Edition, or Hermes, are, because they come only in GPS + Cellular, unsupported by local telcos.
Daniel Wellington is the hipster watch brand of the moment, increasingly popular and not cheap in Singapore. I was seeded two, but since I already wear an Apple Watch and Moto 360, I passed them to Li Xiang.
After almost two weeks using the Moto 360 (Second Generation) instead of my Apple Watch, I miss the Apple Watch only a little, mainly its ability to act on notifications. On iOS, Android Wear's notification handling is more limited.
Thanks to Lenovo, I was seeded the Moto 360 (Second Generation) as a Christmas present, choosing the Large 46mm with Cognac Leather at S$549. It went on sale in Singapore on 15th December 2015 across three models.
The second-generation Moto 360 is now available in Singapore at selected Newstead, Challenger, Best Denki, Courts, and Lenovo stores. Unlike the US store, where you can customise case, bezel, and band, Singapore offers only three predefined variations.
My Gunmetal Black Steel Band for the Pebble Time Steel finally arrived on 11th November 2015, three months after the watch itself. It's heavy and well-built, though a little large, so I'll need precision screwdrivers to remove a few links.
The Pebble Time Steel is the second Pebble Kickstarter I've backed, after the original Pebble Watch two years earlier. The Pebble Time campaign broke Kickstarter's record as the most-funded project, raising US$20,338,986 from 78,471 backers.
GearBest sent me the iMacwear M7 to try, a watch selling for US$112.63 excluding shipping. It isn't an Android Wear device but a full Android 4.4 KitKat watch. Fairly bulky at 120g, it carries an IP67 dust and water resistance.
I bought the Apple Watch 42mm Milanese Loop for S$218 from the Apple Online Store, since it was sold out at every authorised reseller. I ordered on 2nd July 2015 and received it on the 7th, despite the five-to-seven-day shipping.
I picked up the Apple Watch 42mm Black Sport Band, along with the Magnetic Charging Cable, while on holiday in the UK. It costs £39, about S$83, before the tax refund, versus S$78 in Singapore, and comes in two variants.
I was meant to attend the Apple Watch media launch at Nubox Raffles City if they could reserve me a set. They never got back to me, so by the time I was in the queue, I forwent the event.
Apple officially launches the Apple Watch in Singapore, alongside Italy, Mexico, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, and Taiwan, on 26th June 2015. It'll be sold via the Apple Online Store, authorised resellers, and Malmaison, with prices starting from S$518.
The Fitbit Charge went on sale in Singapore on 19th December 2014 and retails for S$169 in Black, Slate, Blue, and Burgundy. It isn't a successor to the Fitbit Flex, which is smaller, while the Charge has a display.
Apple Watch launches in nine countries on 24th April 2015, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, the UK, and the US. Singapore isn't among this first tier, so I estimate the prices we can expect when it arrives.
