Yes but in the event of a problem?

"Whoyagonnacall"?

Certain items, like clothes I never buy on-line, so I have somewhere to take things back when there is a problem.

There is always false advertising, and terrible English, but how do you predict non delivery? At least my cancelled order is known, rather than a mystery. I deduced speculative sales - price now higher.

I bought a watch (yea, cos it is red) and didn't see how to change the batteries. When I asked they said there were YouTube videos (unspecified). Actually there is no obvious way, the case is a single moulding and the front is stuck down. As it happened, the front was badly fixed with double-sided tape and the mechanism flew out. Days later I found it in the car, plus the buttons. So I saw how to change batteries. But after glueing, find that flexing my wrist (maybe), or dancing, triggers the change button - not that I see it happening maybe the loose mechanism is the problemo. At 5 GBP should I be concerned? Well I had a dial watch for 5/6 years that cost 3 GBP which kept better time despite harder rigours of my activities.

Call me a cheapskate - or a monocolourwrist (sic).
