These are serious garbage. Be warned. Even the novelty factor doesn't cover the price

Very suspicious of gearbest deals when they get tonnes of heat but all the comments are negative. Definitely something suspicious going on with Banggood/gearbest and HUKD these days.

If the item is broken or not as described, then you're on your own, you'll need to send back tracked which isn't worth it for a low price item. If you don't get a tracking number you can try item not received.

And all these people saying "I've ordered from gearbest and not had a problem" its like saying "I've ran through Syria with an 'ISIS are ****' t shirt and not had a problem". One day, you will

Given they don't speak in English in Syria, I'd imagine there wouldn't be a problem.

The one day I do have a problem with them I doubt very much I'd be too gutted about it. Just had a quick look at my e-mail and out of 15 orders for them (of which I think I've received all of them) most total less than $5 USD and only a few have been for items between $20 USD and $40 USD. There's always the possibility that should I have a problem Paypal wouldn't see me out of pocket.

Make sure you select the u80 not u80 plus, according to reviews they have different straps and not as good, I got the u80 black

If you want them for Xmas best order from Amazon, I used the fulfilled by Amazon one but that's gone up a bit to £12.15 now, but it does keep going up and down, I spent over £20 and with free delivery first order took 3 days and 2nd order came the next day. There are some UK sellers offering free or cheap delivery such as white from gamsy for £9.99 + 99p delivery, just make sure you only select a u80 (not u80 plus, as according to reviews have different not as good strap)
See my previous post if you want more info about watch.
I've gave mine a good test for the last week and seems like a great little gadget. Let me know if you want any more info. If giving as a gift they would think you had spent a lot more money on it.
Hope this helps ☺

Wonder how many of the people dismissing it as junk have actually used one?
I ordered 1 of these from Amazon last week, ordering from the fulfilled by Amazon dealer got free delivery as buying other things, was about £11 at the time. It arrived in a couple of days, I'd rather pay a little more and know when it's arriving. I think it's great, especially for the money, touchscreen works well, strap feels good quality with normal style buckle and is comfy to wear, it paired quick and easy with my phone, just by connecting bluetooth can make and receive calls, good speakerphone, and by downloading a free app from Google play store I can read messages on it too, Mediatek SmartDevice worked the best for me. Can also play music that is stored on phone through speaker, which is actually fairly loud, you can select songs and change volume on watch, has a calculator, calendar and pedometer amongst other things, also can be used as a remote to take a picture on phone's camera. I ordered another for my mum as a Xmas present because she never hears her phone ringing in her bag, hopefully she won't be able to miss the watch vibrating and/or ringing, she won't answer it on the watch but at least should know to answer her phone, hopefully

I put a link up a while back to a UK seller of a premium fireplace, was taken down as not approved merchant despite being UK based and having to comply with UK law. Gearbest, DX and all those crap sites don't, and avoid UK law. Shame the site owners are driven by greed rather than their members best interests.

I have had similar experiences - I you try to post a deal from a company that they don't have an "agreement" with good luck getting it listed TBH

12 Dec 151#26
Because I dont like the fact that they aren't more up-front and honest about what they are doing TBH

Have some Ice to cool this deal down, who in the right mind would throw 7 quid at a "smart" watch. Save yourself the money and use it on an apple watch or Samsung gear! ❄

My experience with Gearbest has been ok. Made an order for a Zeblaze rover watch with the wrong email address (.com. instead of .co.uk) so i didn't have access to my account to put a cancellation. Waited for ages on their online chat thing (whilst doing other stuff so it was in the background) and managed to get it cancelled and refunded fairly quickly after that. Ordered another two items, the Zeblaze Crystal watch was on offer for approx £39 delivered and i had to wait weeks for it to be restocked before they could dispatch it via tracked postage and it arrived within a week. The other item, a cheap £7 smartphone powerbank/speaker, seemed to have gone into a black hole via the free untracked post but eventually turned up (with some shopto stuff that took a while to turn up as well)
Not the best service, but not the worse. For this kind of money, i might give this a punt if it wasn't already on ebay or amazon.

Pointless, selfish behaviour. This site is great, most of us love it, why deny them revenue for working to provide it?

12 Dec 15#20
Gearbest are rubbish and steal your money if you have a problem with the order. Also available on the famous auction site for £7.59, a much safer bet.

Off course it is, this is big business, must be one of the biggest affiliate link sites in the world(?), can only begin to imagine the revenue thats generated here from links.

Exactly, but it doesn't stop there. They also have agreements in place with many companies to promote their deals over others.

Mine still working fine, battery still holds charge, it is very basic funtions but you can answer your phone, play mp3, read texts, worth trying like i said to see if you like em without splashing out, you need install android app bt notifier. Where i work i do heavy lifting and cant have phone on show , so this is very discrete to let me know of missed calls /messages without getting my phone out.

12 Dec 152#7
Bought one 12 mth ago for 15 . so at this price it's a steal for trying one out to see if you like a muti function watch before shelling out more money for something dearer/bettter one.

So you bought one a year ago, what's it like? Any good? Is it still working as others have said this is garbage.

We all know by now these are not really much more than fun things for the kids, but for this price it is a great gadget.
