Beware
of
buying
something
as
a
gift.
There
is
a
good
chance
you
won't
be
able
to
return/exchange
it,
even
if
it
is
unused.
My
son
bought
me
a
watch
for
a
birthday
present.
Only
put
it
on
once
to
try
it.
Did
not
adjust/remove
anything.
Decided
it
was
a
bit
large
for
my
wrist.
Heard
that
the
manufacturer
was
going
to
introduce
an
identical
smaller
version
in
a
couple
of
months.
Called
the
store
and
talked
to
the
supposed
"manager"
and
proposed
that
I
return
it
for
a
credit
and
order
the
smaller
version
from
them
and
pay
whatever
the
difference
would
be
in
price
.
She
said
it
would
be
OK
as
long
as
I
still
had
the
tags.
Only
tag
with
the
watch
when
I
first
unboxed
it
was
the
one
which
is
usually
attached
by
a
small
string
with
model
number
and
serial
number
on
it.
When
I
took
it
back
to
the
store
the
supposed
manager
said
she
had
to
show
it
to
her
manager,
the
real
one
it
appears.
He
then
came
out
and
told
me
that
they
could
not
take
it
back
because
it
was
missing
a
sticker
on
the
back
which
has
vital
information
if
they
were
to
take
it
back
for
resale,
asserting
that
all
watches
they
sell
come
with
such
a
sticker
and
wrapped
in
a
plastic
rectangle
around
the
case.
Neither
of
these
items
were
in
evidence
when
I
first
unboxed
the
watch
and
my
son
said
that
he
had
not
removed
anything
before
giving
to
me.
When
I
asked
how
would
I
register
the
watch
with
the
manufacturer
for
the
warranty
if
it
was
missing
the
"vital"
sticker
on
the
back,
they
said
that
it
was
not
a
problem
because
they
had
already
registered
it
themselves.
This
would
indicate
that
the
sticker
was
most
likely
removed
by
them
during
the
registration
process,
But
why
would
the
store
register
a
watch
which
was
purchased
as
a
gift
when
there
is
a
possibility
of
a
return
or
exchange
and
thus
a
different
ultimate
owner?
My
guess,
the
store
was
happy
to
get
the
watch
out
of
their
stock
and
took
measures
to
ensure
that
it
could
not
be
returned
by
removing
the
supposedly
vital
sticker
at
the
time
of
sale.
So
beware
of
such
a
practice.
