30 to 90 days is standard for a defects in workmanship and materials warranty, which is only there to cover something not working right because it came faulty from the factory. It’s basically one step up from an “as-is” sale just so you can request a replacement if it’s dead on arrival.

It is bullshit and straight up illegal in the EU, but as the watches are shipped straight from the Chinese factory and sold by a US based company, it might technically be allowed? The legalese is very confusing when I tried to figure it out - if you sell something directly to an EU customer, you are supposed to follow EU laws to a point.

If they knowingly sell to EU customers, then EU law applies. 2 year warranty, and first 6 months burden of proof on the seller for defects.

  As I said, I couldn’t find any source that said that. In fact, quite the opposite:
  
  Do I have the same rights if I buy something online from a non-EU website as from an EU-based business?
  
  If you buy the goods from a non-EU website, your EU consumer rights don’t automatically apply. If something goes wrong with an item or you wish to return it, it may be more difficult to get the issue resolved. Check the seller’s website for terms and conditions.
