Wow. That's a pretty nice watch. But at 99 bucks, it costs more than what we paid for what's coming to us, so I doubt it. I just hope it's functional at this point, because if you read thru the PayPal rules for refund, we could get our original money back, but we will most likely have to pay the shipping for it's return to China. Of course, we got "free shipping", but I would guess shipping costs for it's return will probably not make it worth the trouble, and I'm sure the sellers count on that. What a freaking risk I took on this.

Let’s hope it’s genuine but there are lots on this site https://www.aliexpress.com/premium/...o&pvId=99-361828&tc=ppc&attrRel=or&isrefine=y
[Samsung Gear S3] Flyepy:
the watch advertised in the last days is in fact the Samsung S3 frontier. They teased us unfortunately. If you see the various videos you will notice the Samsung logo very often. However, there is a very similar model online which is the Lemfo LF16. I hope that what will come is similar. My decision to buy it was to have an altimeter, even if not perfect, but that gave me a rough indication. We'll see what will come. It is not usual to see clones of S7 or S6 who knows they will have cloned the Gear S3 Frontier. dream?
[Samsung Gear S3] Tetters:
Watch

Yes they have clone the s gear 3 it's the lemfo lf16 that's the watch I thought I was getting but they sent me a cheap smartwatch which is crap. Lemfo lf16 sells at round £100 so if you get that I would be very surprised
[Samsung Gear S3] masterdg:
Actually had mine delivered today. USPS showed delivery with its tracking number, but either it was mis-delivered or stolen from inside my mailbox. Thus at this time I cannot evaluate. Filed a claim through Paypal and sent a message to the seller. Haven’t received correspondence back from the seller.
[Samsung Gear S3] td_100:
This is interesting https://youtu.be/Ydle3stIw6g
[Samsung Gear S3] Flyepy:
I am sure that the clock advertised in those videos is not the one that will arrive at home ..... if it arrives. I have never had bad experiences from China, certainly not really excellent material but it has always arrived. To tell the truth I have always bought a few things. But this time I had my hand taken. Maybe because I do not like the phonewhatch, maybe to try one I did not want to spend $ 500 for a s3 though excellent. We'll see. One question. Who says that his is here and that a clock expires because it does not show pictures? on facebook who says he received it posted photos of watches almost similar to the one advertised if not identical. Fake?

Any updates on the package so I can get mine
[Samsung Gear S3] td_100:
My tracking number has now appeared and says it’s on route, still keen to see some real images
[Samsung Gear S3] radtech777:
Tell you what, if this thing is a fake, there are a lot of companies that seem to be in on the joke. I have seen at least 3 different companies selling this same watch, all calling it the Radiance A3. I still can't go on Facebook without getting a new ad for this watch. If anything gives me any hope at all, it's that a variety of companies are selling it. But that hope is thin. I'm just a little irked that I saw it for 10 bucks less than I paid on one of the sites.

The only thing holding me back is there is no user pictures or anything to look at. And no radiance app exists.

I would like a gear 3, but it's too expensive.

Have a Bip now, works great, via notify and fitness very good to adapt what notifications you want etc.

Excellent battery life!

Before that I had a D5, which also supported a SIM.

Very bad bat life. And then the strap was broken... Seems the antennas were wired trough the strap...

I'll wait for user pics
[Samsung Gear S3] SubJektt:
Think I'm like everyone on here and fallen for the trap as this watch is on a large amount of "tech sites/shops" under different names. I have too purchased it and stated it was shipped. If received and if to what the page states with specs and performance, I will do a video review and post pics. Until then, help others out by sharing pics if anyone has the device already

radiance a3 smartwatch

I have just got my 'generic' LCD HD Smartwatch for Samsung after 30 days. £28 , worth a punt. Not overwhelmed, but OK.

went for the Radiance A3 for £38. Put my daughter's ipod nano in a wristband for £9.99. Practically the same thing

Can we use PayPal to get our money back or something like that?
[Samsung Gear S3] nathlynn22:
It looks like it may be like a No1 G8 smart watch. Which looks nothing as advertised software wise.
[Samsung Gear S3] smartwatchticks:
Like the rest of you, I'm watching to see who gets one of these and reports on it. If it really is 'too good to be true' I'll jump in and get one and review it on YouTube. If, as I suspect, this is a royal scam, well, thanks to all of you who are helping to expose it. In the meantime, have you seen the price drop special this weekend? $49.99? Yep. NancyStore. Nope. Never heard of them either.

[Samsung Gear S3] nathlynn22:
None of the websites selling now come up if searched for on Google search looks like Google removed them from searching the watch....
[Samsung Gear S3] askariwa:
I saw this ad too on Facebook a month ago, from a company with a different name. When i searched on Google a couple of days later there were no results ;)

BTW : see these companies selling the same watches :

https://nancystore.us/pages/about-us

https://furstylish.com/pages/about-us

The image on the bottom of page is taken from the site of a company named Leadspace https://www.leadspace.com/series-c-funding-21-million/ . I think that the scammers are using this photo just to add credibility.
[Samsung Gear S3] nathlynn22:
Yeah I read the same on the weekend. If something comes will have to see what it is. Don't know whether to phone PayPal today see if they can do something.

[Samsung Gear S3] Mjc8bal:
Just got off the phone with PayPal. If the merchant does not respond to a dispute. You will get your money back and get to keep whatever crap they sent you.
[Samsung Gear S3] SubJektt:
Sad to see it come this way, best thing is to file a dispute with PayPal (please say that you have because bye bye dolla if you haven't) and just await for them to respond which they most likely won't. Get ya money back and trash the watch for parts/trash it. Sorry guys, we got played
[Samsung Gear S3] radtech777:
Just finished filing with Paypal. Still no movement for 11 days on the tracking sites, but who care if they are shipping out that ugly price of crap anyway. Ironicallyor the watch is the first thing that popped up in my FB news feed when I opened it just now. How do companies get away with this? On top of that, just saw the same exact watch advertised for 19.99.

Live and learn, and never again.

Sadly, if they had sent out almost any of the decent watches we had spoken about here, I probably would have just kept it and let it go to and wrote it off as a lesson learned. The one that was pictured a coupe posts back and the specs it has was an insult.
[Samsung Gear S3] stellio69:
yeah I raised a dispute with PayPal and hopefully all goes well I get my money back if not like you said I run over it with a car and learn the lesson

So, like others here in this post I failed for the trap and purchased the watch from MagiCube, today I got the watch delivered and as expected it was a cheap crappy watch look nothing like what was advertised !

Couple of days while waiting for the watch to be delivered I say this post so contacted PayPal however PayPal now want me to ship the watch back to china and only after getting confirmation from the seller that they have received it they will issue a refund!

Not sure if that's a normal process because the cost of shipping this piece of rubbish back to china will be more than the cost of it ! any ideas on how to deal with this?

I tried companion to FaceBook but it doesn't seem like they really give a damn, all I got was a canned response that said........

Facebook Business Thanks for bringing this to our attention, XXX. To report a misleading ad, click the three dots next to the ad you want to report, click Report Ad, and then follow the on-screen instructions. You can also follow along with the steps provided here: http://bit.ly/2ApJe97. -Franny

[Samsung Gear S3] dve.hwd:
Mine has just arrived, and like the others is a pile of plastic effluent. I understood I wouldn't be getting a Samsung galaxy s3 running tizen, but thought they had cloned the form factor, which is why I was willing to punt £30 on it.

Anyway, lesson learnt, will charge it up and see what it does, if it tells the time it could be used as a cheapo watch on holiday.

In the meantime time to upload pics of it to all the Facebook ads, and report them :)

If you Google Y1 Smartwatch there's a you tube video that lists it at $14.39 that's what I received. Raised a dispute with PayPal and the guy didn't bat an eyelid. So I should have a refund in 10 days.

So I've taken another punt on a Lemfo Lem7. A bit pricey at £110 but fingers crossed and it's only 2-3 day delivery.
[Samsung Gear S3] ghettocruiser:
There is now ads popping up for the Tag Heuer smartwatch. Calling it a new name, using stolen vids and pics with the Tag name clearly visible. $37. 100's of people commenting excited and sharing it. They'll all suffer the same fate. I'm assuming these idiots are banking on a large number of folks not bothering to file a claim with PayPal. They'll make a boatload of even half the people don't do it. Those watches probably cost $5 in bulk. You do the math.

Thank you to all on this thread who have reminded me that you only get what you pay for and that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

[Samsung Gear S3] AshleyUK88:
I have already raised a dispute before receiving the item. I have come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as radiance a3 watch, I too did a reverse image search and the imagery is without a doubt Samsung s3 frontier - I have supplied links, as well as no communication with Lin Jinrong or the email addresses on website or PayPal. As someone mentioned before I will fight the case of sending the item back if PayPal request it because it will probably cost me just as much to return it.

Damn, such a combination of self pity and anger.
[Samsung Gear S3] td_100:
Likewise I have opened a case before delivery, obviously this is a massive scam.
[Samsung Gear S3] nathlynn22:
Same here opened a case before receiving.
[Samsung Gear S3] arkayel:
Opened a PayPal dispute too

OK, I'm convinced that it is not necessary to wait for delivery in order to open a PayPal dispute case. As this is the first time that I have done so on PayPal, I was not aware that the claim would be automatically sent to the seller. Others in this thread have indicated that communication attempts with the seller have been ignored and I expect that it will be the same for me. HOWEVER, ever the optimist, if anyone does receive a reply from the seller, could they please report it to the thread including the Business Name (mine was Nancy Store) that you purchased from?
[Samsung Gear S3] nathlynn22:
Mine was Nancy store.
[Samsung Gear S3] DarPri:
Pile of crap watch.

Been watching this forum since getting suspicious about this purchase. Mine arrived today, I opted fo the upmarket watch with the leather strap, I didn't even get that. Black watch I found on ebay tonight for less than £10. Have reported to PayPal. Im still getting popup adverts on Facebook and have posted comments on each one but none allow me to post pics and I have not been notified of any response. If a UK seller is making a profit at less than £10 and they are charging minimum 3X that amount then it doesn't take a mathematician to understand that this scam is big money. Great business for anyone in the E retail ecosystem that might explain why FB and PP have not shut it down.
[Samsung Gear S3] nathlynn22:

I am wondering if we can just not open it and send it back "return to sender" so we can bypass having to pay the return shipping? As far as I know, my watch has not even left China and I ordered mine back on July 17th. I won't see mine for probably another 2 weeks. Very dissapointed in PayPal for not doing right by us on this if that is the way these claims are going to go down.
