The way i see it
buy it I had the sense to ask if it was compatible with the operating system on my iPad. No, it wasn’t. Luckily I did not buy it. Eventually the store offered to give me a credit note for the value of the watch.
I’m still asking myself why they simply did not return me my money. I had been ‘fortunate’ to have paid extra money extending the warranty of the watch. I am still confused as to the length of the warranty as I seem to have received different information, depending on who spoke to me. But when I was given the voucher for the value of the watch it did not include the money I paid for the warranty extension.
The story of the watch is yet another example of how one can feel small compared to the large conglomerate.
If you are looking for a good summer read, I strongly recommend Hans Fallada’s ‘Little Man What Now?’ It was published in Germany in 1932. It tells the story of how the dice are always loaded against the ‘little person’. Although written 86 years ago, the story is still relevant today. Nothing changes. And that is certainly no coincidence.
