Huawei Band 3 spoilt exactly three days after the warranty void.



Bought this Huawei Band 3 smartwatch few days before my birthday last year. 

The price was RM239. It is slightly expensive than those I used to buy. Since it is Huawei, I thought it would last longer, but the same fate happened to it. 

But I won't deny it is a better version of smartwatch as it tracked the steps better. 

My previous watch even recorded my hand movement in playing drum or bumpy car ride as "steps". 

However, as for tracking my distance/stride, the ability for Huawei watch is slightly lacking. 

I ran on a 400-metre track, but the GPS gave less distance for that measured distance. 

If you are concern about your sleep, this band gives quite precise analysis. Another plus point is the charging method, instead of diassamble the piece, this model allows user to charge it directly using USB cable. 

Its waterproof feature also allowed me to track my swimming activities and bring it to shower. Somehow, I wonder whether bringing them into water make its lifespan shorter. 



Unfortunately, the LCD screen went blank right after it reaches the one-year warranty period. 

Brought it to Huawei Customer Services at Karamunsing Complex, with hope that they could at least replace or fix the LCD screen. 

However, the customer service personnel said Huawei would replace one-to-one without limit should the watch breaks down within the warranty period. Since mine had exceeded, he suggested I buy another one. 

MASS DISPOSAL of E-waste

As I mentioned earlier, I have bought several smartwatch and all of them did not last long. In other words, I have contributed a lot e-waste to the landfill. 

Hoping that the companies would be more responsible in manufacturing products that could last longer to save the earth. At least three years?

Anyone might argue that I should buy something more expensive watch so that it could last longer, but,not everyone can afford them.

Since I cannot afford to buy expensive smartwatch, I just keep myself moving the whole day and track my workout using phone.

CICA-Care and Hiruscar gel.

Image
The Cica care, do not really know how to pronounce it, cost me about RM113.50 for the size of 3cm x 12cm. That size can actually be cut into half, to fully cover my raised 12-year-old reddish keloid car. Pardon me for the ugly creature...which most of the time will scare children away, and make adults have second look of the gigantic 'paramesium'. The silicon and sticky strip can actually last about 2-4 weeks, so mathematically for 2 months, I only spend RM100++ for my treatment, which is a lot cheaper than doing laser/removal surgery. This is how it adheres to my skin, I really don't have to worry it will fall out as I do my work, or even during exercise...(except swimming). Occasionally, I will have strong urge to scratch my itchy patched keloid during sleeping time, because of what the Cica care is doing-depressing the scar. After about two weeks usage, the edge (the sides where I use to remove) becomes like above, is an indicator that it

Review on Qdees school.

Image
This post is merely on personal view of the Qdees kindergarten which I enroll my daughter in this year. The principal has recently posted in parents-teacher Whatsapp group that the franchise has been awarded SME Brand Excellence Award in Best Global Franchise Model 2016 by SME Malaysia. Well,the excellence award obviously meant for business specifically the people who want to make money from early learning institutions...the information does not really relay the significance for parents whose main concern is their children's well-being at the school.  Back to my parenting point of view, the reason I chose the school is I believe with certain standards to comply, I hope that my daughter will be taken good care of while I go to work. In short, no abuse. Image grabbed from Qdees website I paid over thousand include the monthly RM450 during registration in Dec 2016. The payment also include two (ugly) grey color uniform (with not-so-good)cloth quality, a set of

Groupon-Tomoko Hair Salon.

Tomoko Hair Lot 112, Ground Floor, Megalong Shopping Mall, Jalan Taipakkung Donggongon, Penampang, , 89500, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah 1 Visit Professional Cut+L'Oreal Hair Treatment+Wash +Blow+Personal Image Consultancy Service. Voucher "so called" valued for RM135 which I paid for RM18. ************************************************* Today I paid a visit to the saloon at Megamall. As I had made the reservation earlier, I was quite surprised when they asked what I would like to do with my hair. And I was asked for three times as if they don't even know the sevices they featured in Groupon. The saloon was quite small and crowded, but I believe that shouldn't be the reason they are slacking in their service. While I was sitting and waiting for my turn to have those services, a man turned out of blue that I should cut my hair like ****, I couldn't recall what he was trying to tell me cos he was just talking without me getting ready to his comments.
