Be careful buying smart watches from pop phones
Not knowing much about smart watches i was convinced to buy a samsung 2 active watch which I was told was suppose to be an excellent watch only to find out once i went to set it up the operating system was no longer in use and was unable to ever be updated, i took it back and they told me they had "no idea" that the watch was obsolete, they then told me they would upgrade it to a watch 7 for $50 more, I was already feeling like I was ripped off but thought I had no choice, when I went to pick it up i questioned why it wasnt in a sealed samsung box, i was told i they had ordered an ex display watch 7 to replace the new in sealed box active 2 and said "they told me at the time" it would be a ex display watch THEY DID NOT TELL ME THAT IT WOULD BE A EX DISPLAY WATCH AT ANY TIME, I asked for my money back and was told they couldnt do that and i had to take the watch, first time to charge took all night i had to recharge the next night it took 5 hrs to charge and watch got so hot it shuts down, my son eventually.realised it had a active 2 charger, after going back they gave me a different charger, this one did only take 2 hrs to recharge but it was still getting really hot, I found out they had given me a 5watt charger a samsung 7 needs a 15watt charger went back again with this information including written proof from Samsung itneeded a 15wt charger and was assured they would order me a 15w samsung charger when I went to pick it up it was once again an 5w active 2 charger
Had to write a letter to the store with a template from accc stating it was not of sufficent quality and I wanted my money back or I would go to. Consumer affairs, went back in about 5 days later and they finally agreed to refund me, do not buy watches from pop phones and be careful even buying a phone from there i felt like I was deceived
