The Gear S3 lasts 3 days if I never get to a charger but I've one on the desk in work, one in the car, and one beside the sofa at home so I just pop it on when I'm sitting and keep topping it up.

Messaged Gearbest yesterday and they said they are going to contact the courier and allow 10 working days for an answer! Bloody joke of a site. Back in September I ordered x5 of the watches and had them in less than 2 weeks. I also have x1 Miband 3 on order so not too confident about getting that anytime soon.

I had settled on the samsung galaxy smart watch but i think ill be paying way over the odds for what i actually want. Im not really interested in getting emails/watsapps to my phone. However i want something to track my workouts, ie calories burned/heart rate etc. It seems most lean towards running but my workouts would be more crossfit style so i want something that can accurately monitor that as well as being able to connect to bluetooth headphones for a bit of spotify. Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

Maybe there's a contact one for Athlone or else Dublin can point you in the right direction. I emailed the email receipt/order showing the value of purchase, they responded about 3 hours later. I put the tracking number in the subject line. I can't recall if it was on this occasion or another time I had to do a bit of chasing. The address I contacted was Revenue Dublin Mail Centre, dmc@revenue.ie Response was

I think I would have been waiting until next year if I didn't get through to them with the email you provided!! Thanks again Now to treat myself for Christmas for a watch with GPS built in and I can leave my phone at home for runs...... still keeping an eye on the Amazfit Bips... cheap and cheerful. Definitely not buying from Gearbest again though
