Smart Watch SCAM from Sterdio.com (Radiance A3 Frontier Smartwatch Advertised on Instagram)
***BEFORE YOU COMMENT, READ THIS***
1. I knew this was a scam from the start – I bought it so I could make this video.
2. The text at 7:22 that says it is a Samsung Device was added by me. I know it’s a Samsung Device in the ad. I know it’s the S3 Frontier.
3. I hoped those two things were obvious in the video, but apparently not. Seriously. I’m not an idiot.
I kept seeing adverts on Instagram for an amazing smartwatch with great UI based on a rotating bezel that acts as a jog dial.
The price was less than 40 USD (about 32 GBP) – too good to be true, so I ordered one – the Instagram link went to a site called Sterdio.com, and the whole deal was a complete scam.
The watch that arrived was not the one advertised – it was a cheap smartwatch without the key feature (the rotating bezel) and of much, much poorer quality.
I pretty much expected that, of course – too good to be true, after all.

I've been SCAMMED! They sent me the watch which totally different as what had been displayed on the ads.
You get the same scammers on Facebook to. Facebook don’t give a dam as long as they are paid for the add.
Bought one of these for £8 off ebay as a cheap option for my 11 Yr old son to take to scout camp so he can phone/text home, about all there good for tbh, (had a camera and GPS tracker as well to be fair though)
I see that you have the maze alpha, I recommend that you don't throw it at a window, amhik
Shitttttttt!!! I bought it from a site named NICELECTRONIC i biught the same one and now i regret and i want my money back how can i do please help me
What is the moving bezel watch you compared it against? seasshoresd@gmail.co
Ohh man i should have watched this video i got fooled for it and the customer service is not taking the calls or responding
lol that on the ads was samsung gear s3
I can tell you that the product featured in the ad is either the Samsung gear S3 frontier or the Samsung galaxy watch. It’s one of those because they look very very similar. I guarantee that is what they are showing in the ad. I know this because I have a Samsung Gear S3 smart watch. I also know this because I can see the interface and operating software that looks exactly the same as my smart watch which is the Samsung gear S3. I also know that the watch shown in the ad is a Samsung gear S3 or Samsung galaxy watch because the watch faces that are shown in the ad or the stander watch faces that come with the Samsung smart watches. I also want to point out that the wireless charger shown in the ad for that smart watch is the exact same one that’s used on Samsung smart watches.
well done mate good video i'm in the same box as you i ordered this too
what a frigging ripoff i got one that was on Wish for £6.99 glad i didn't pay for it (a pissed brother in-law did lol) sent a few email's to them but surprise surprise no reply lol
DON'T GET SUCKED INTO THIS SCAM….
Glad i watched your vid,i almost ordered one from facebook.Thanks
I am wondering if the video’s watch exists??? Or was created just to scam people? Does the watch exist? And what’s the model if it is ?
I'm crying hahahh
My boyfriend's youngest sister (14 years old) bough four of this with her aunt's credit card. What a world we live in… ?
About the same quality as you can get off wish.com for $6…
I also got the same , we have to file a complaint against them
Oh well I think I'll have to shed out £200 odd quid for the real deal.

IF YOU FEEL IT'S REALLY GENUINE SITE HAPPY TO BUT GO THROUGH AND ENJOY THE GOOD DEALS, GIVE GOOD FEEDBACK TO THE SITE AND ITEM ALSO TOO FOR OTHER BUYERS REFERENCE !!!. I am writing this comment based on my experience with ZOOKR, After my experience, I have realized about this kind of sites. View my experience below link forzookr.in reviews, its not only one site lot of sites are doing like this kind of fraud " https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=zookr.com ". and " https://www.facebook.com/search/str/zookr.in/keywords_search?epa=SEARCH_BOX "
What they are giving contact address and phone number is UN USE. BEFORE BUYING, FIRST TRY TO CONTACT TO THE GIVEN CONTACT NUMBER AND E-MAIL ID AND CONFIRM THE BUYER SUPPORT/RESPONSE FIRST. Surely IF YOU RECEIVE GOOD, THEN BUY PRODUCT AND ENJOY, BUT DON'T FORGOT TO GIVE GOOD FEEDBACK TO THE TRUSTED SITE WHERE YOU HAVE BUY PRODUCT. IF YOU CALL TO THE SELLER SITE, IF Busy tone/SWITCH OFF/NOT ANSWER IS COMING CHECK AGAIN BECAUSE IF IT IS TRUSTED SITE WE SHOULD NOT MISS THE GOOD DEAL. Check some similar sites for similar product like smart watch, then you may realize ABOUT.
Sites names will be changing and again attracting people. Read carefully BUYER POLICIES IF THOSE ARE NOT MATCHING YOUR EXPECTATIONS, avoid to buy, YOU MAY CHANCES TO loose your money. it was very bad experience happens TO ME. i have buy Smart SoundBar with DSP Technology (Link: https://zookr.in/products/bluetooth-soundbar-speaker-digital-amplifiers-with-dsp-technology/1062c87b-1a8b-4a0d-9f20-0ccc592485bd), but received cheap product. In the zookr site, they have shown different item but delivered cheaper item to me this type item is available in local market also too with less prise compared with paid money to the zookr. i have contacted to zookr support as per zookr returns policy window (https://zookr.in/returns) with in 48 hours window and mailed to "help@zookr.in" with box opening videos and photos as proofs. package are prepaid. but after 4 timeS followup with zookr, i have received one reply FINALLY through e-mail content is " ZOOKR don't have any replacement or refund policy IN THIS CASE, BECAUSE THEY SHIPPED CORRECT ITEM" EVEN I HAVE shared my box opening video and photos as a proof. so FINALLY I loose my money. My friends also buy watch and some tab. That is cheaper one and not replaced. This kind of many cases you will found in Facebook with Zookr in my case. They also is loose money like ME. I planned to take legal action on this, but we have only less members. zookr don't have proper address to send legal notice in there website at the time. We planned to complaint cyber cell, for this issue because many victims area there like me. Kindly excuse If any one of the person hurt regarding this post. Because this is my experience with Zookr.
FINAL CONCLUSION IS, I MUST SAY THANKS TO ZOOKR FOR GIVING GOOD REALIZATION ON ONLINE SHOPPING SITES, AND HOW TO TAKE CONCLUSION ABOUT ONLINE SITES. BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE I HAVE LEARNED ABOUT ONLINE SHOPPING AWARENESS WITH LESS AMOUNT PAYING TO ZOOKR…!!!!!
Note: this is a awareness to online shopping users with my personal experience with Zookr site. Kindly excuse if any one hurt, it's my personal experience. Others may good experience I think.

Hey! You would look like that box if you flew China airways.
Get a T1 mil watch they are very good and very very very cheap.
Forty bucks for a touchscreen watch with a SIM slot, removable/swappable battery, and expandable storage?! Where's the link?! You couldn't find something half this good for twice the price in any store! Seriously, a shitty, chunky plastic Casio costs $40 at Wal-Mart. I realize it's false advertisement and therefore a scam, but it's also a mother-fuckin good deal!
Is this somewhat related to the £30 DSLR cameras I keep seeing on instagram ads? They are from wish.com so I'd like to think they are scams as well.
I took the chance of ordering one since I noticed that they accepted paypal and thinking that paypal would protect me and get my money back for me I decided to take a chance. DON'T DO IT, paypal took the seller side and my guess is that the internet laws are still way behind, they protected the SCAM ARTIST seller that showed something and sent something totally different. So for those of you that paypal will protect you, NO THEY DON'T. THEY WILL TAKE THE SELLERS SIDE. Not funny . . . By the way be careful with anything sold on facebook also, I mean just about everything that gets advertise on facebook is a SCAM and they don't care or even do anything about. I have seen many items that have a market price of $9999US advertise for $148 come on that is obvious that it is a SCAM but when the price seems to be possible, that is were they get a bunch of assholes like me.
Pura enganação! comprei um e devolvi e mesmo assim não me devolveram o valor do frete! tomei uma volta!
wtf did i just watch?
And remember that it is advertised on Facebook!
An excellent review! Thanks a lot!
I also order same smart watch but I received other… I send 10 mail n call to customer care but no any reply from company…
It was a Samsung watch as it has galaxy store
Idiot. never buy from Instagram
I got fleeced by the T-watch scam. You pay for it and they never ship it. Customer service will tell you to keep waiting.
If u go on wish u can find same that smart whatch in 10 $
Shoulda tossed in the water at the end to test its waterproofness.
Thanks for the post and raising awareness of these scams. A classic case of "if it's too good to be true, it usually is"
Oi! Get a life, lose the knife, as your government says
Seems like they Used Pictures from the Samsung gear S3 frontier
Keeps buying stuff from scams on Instagram. Because; it's nice to do video's about it.
