Comment on What are the pros and cons to buying a smart watch from temu?

I have some strict rules about buying things where I cannot verify the used materials:

Nothing that goes into my body
Nothing that goes on my body
Nothing that touches my food
Nothing my pets touch
Nothing that needs to be plugged in or charged

A smart watch violates multiple of those rules. I wouldn’t want to risk it.

While I completely appreciate your perspective, I do have to ask: what with how the world is today, wouldn’t pretty much everything violate at least two or three of those rules?

  I took that one to mean You know your Samsung S21 was made by Samsung. That suspiciously cheap “hoverboard” with the lithium ion battery was made… in china… somewhere.

    I figured they meant that as well. I’m just saying their rules may not be as hard and fast as they seem to be presenting them.

    I’m very much doubting you can verify everything in your computer/phone as even computer part manufacturers have difficulty tracing their supply chain, so good luck with that.
