"These watches have no place on a shop’s shelf"

I always said that crap shouldn't be on any store shelves no matter how cheap it is.
For this reason I prefer to buy things from a local retailer/e-tailer instead of buying them somewhat cheaper directly from aliexpress or similar since serious retailers filter out the crappiest quality. I no longer look to see if the same product is cheaper on aliexpress than on the retailer's web site because that extra the retailer is asking, is a fair price to pay for his effort to filter out the lowest quality.

Tracking... tracking everywhere. Isn't this one a bit over the top? Tracking via GPS just ticks me off... It's a big privacy concern.
