Is Fitpowerforce a reliable site?

I bought a GPS watch in a "private sale" for 40 euros instead of 120, and I fear I've been scammed. There's no information on this site, which seems quite new based on the scant info I've been able to find.

I messed up; I saw that the offer was going to end in 5 minutes, but after that time, the price stayed the same and the timer reset for another hour...

I'm lacking trust in this site because:

- There's no address for the "company" (possibly in Taiwan)
- There's no name of the seller
- Incorrect private sale
- We don't know who delivers once ordered
- The delivery time isn't mentioned...
- Very suspicious comments on the site (all positive and often copied-pasted, while Instant Gaming is reliable and it’s a bit the same with the comments...)

And I only paid attention to all this afterwards.

I sent an email to cancel the order (10 minutes after the purchase) but still no response after 6 hours.

The watch I ordered:

https://fitpowerforce.com/collections/smartwatch/products/montre-stylea-sportive-connectee-et-intelligente

I'm such a noob, damn it! If it’s for online sports stuff, I’d only buy from Amazon and Rakuten!!

I need your expertise to shed some light on this mystery that seems sadly resolved.

Thank you.

Hello

Suspicious site, very suspicious...

No Legal Notices (Anonymous site) even though it claims to be located in Brussels... Weird for something that has the form of an LLC (See T&Cs...). LLC = Limited Liability Company (This name does not exist in Belgium, SRL, the old SPRL, does...). No address...
Site created with Shopify, the favorite tool of fraudsters to slap together a pigeon-trapping site...
It reeks of 'fake' made in Asia...
But maybe you'll receive a nice tacky watch...

We fear your analysis might be correct...

Watch your account (Fraudulent use of the credit card...).

A+

Thank you for the response, I received an answer from the site in question, it's impossible to cancel the order, hoping that at least I'll receive a crappy watch... maybe it will still work for interval training X). I'll give my opinion in a few weeks if I receive the product or not.
I saw that delivery might be charged even if it's certified free, seeing other suckers like me who got tricked on this kind of scam (about 15 euros for shipping fees).

Have a good evening.

Hello, Yes, for a month now, it's working well, no issues except for the screen which is a bit dim for outdoor use.
It's pretty accurate when using 4G (and not too accurate on 3G), it also calculates the bpm and blood pressure. For the bpm, I was able to verify it with Ring Fit (a fitness game that also measures heart rate) and the numbers are almost the same at the same time, with a difference of 5 to 10 bpm.

The battery lasts quite a while, I can easily do 5 sessions of 1 hour; I haven't tested the watch for a whole day, but theoretically, it lasts 2 days.

The watch is connected directly to the smartphone via the Da Fit app.

Overall, I'm happy with it.
