The age of disposable electronics
Purchased a Samsung Galaxy Active2 watch October 2019 $300.00, stopped working, touch screen no longer works, warranty expired November 2020. Costco said it was covered by their Concierge service and warrantied for 2 years...Nope! Went back and forth between Costco and Samsung, neither can do anything.
I figured the watch would have had a longer lifespan, but seems we are truly in the age of consumable and disposable electronics, may as well be diapers or paper towels. Sad!
I won't be buying another one. In fact, the exercise, HRM, and some of the features I purchased it for sucked anyway. I use a chest strap HRM now, way more accurate. I'll probably go back to wearing my Tag Formula 1 watch :-)
