In the early days of smartwatches I ordered one from the manufacturer directly. The price tag and its features all sounded too good to be true, and it was. I don’t even remember their name but I was so hyped that I didn’t even do basic research.
I waited and waited and after a few weeks I did a search online. Turns out the whole thing was a scam, I found tons of blog posts about people either not receiving theirs or getting something that barely worked.
It was too late to do anything about it but I learned my lesson the hard way.
