Hi People, was browsing Kogan and noticed this. Maybe you want one of these types of things… Who am I too judge.
Anyways, I decided to give it a go and bought one as it is cheap and if it works it could be worth the $19.99 (down from $69).
Apparently they are selling out, this may or may not be true but there is no expiry either so good luck.
+1 - Not only could Kogan possibly be faking reviews the item itself could be gotten way cheaper from other places like AliExpress.
My issue with Ali is I’m waiting 3 months now in an item I bought in Jan. they always delay it and I’m unsure if it’ll ever arrive. Mostly they do turn up after around 2 to 3 months, but it’s always the same “is it ever gonna come” question.
People keep getting suckered into buying 'cheap'
Said like you think the expensive ones aren't a scam product claiming to do impossible things like tracking sleep.
Bought two for myself and my wife , both faulty were given store credit
App doesn’t update firmware, watch kept changing menu, one button no touch, kept playing my iphone musics in the middle of the night ,disconnect it still plays until turning Bluetooth off or completey remove the device
Bought xiaomi mi band 4 and huawei honor band 5 and love them specially huawei, SpO2 comes handy with new viruses etc.
Also system didn’t let me write review, l tend to agree Kogan reviews being fake.
Sorry Kogan, your price-jacking & deceptive conduct & non-compliance with Australian Consumer Guarantees is deplorable.
Years ago Kogan was on A Current Affair and every newspaper he could get his face on, telling us he is battling Gerry Harvey to bring down prices for quality products, but at least Gerry had the decency not to jack up his prices 500% when people needed the items.
100ml Hand sanitizer for $25 still available from Kogan-rip-off ?
Kogan was selling a freezer for $200 not long ago and now it is over $1000, gym set for $200, now $999 but advertising its RRP as $1199, it had NEVER EVER sold for that.
Then he has the audacity to refuse warranty service for products, flouting Australian Consumer Guarantees.
For $25 i'd go to David Jones and buy Dior hand sanitiser…
now $999 but advertising its RRP as $1199, it had NEVER EVER sold for that.
To be fair, if you read what it said, it never said that was RRP.
It said, don’t pay $1199, which is the price of buying them individually at $599 each. It even says it in the description. Everyone seems to jump up and down without reading :s
Some poster also said, it’s likely they make it 999$ as a way to stop people buying, dunno if it’s true, but some retailers do do this, shrugs.
@cloudy: Cloudy, your rational & reasoned response is totally opposite with my anti-Kogan tear at the moment ( :P ) due to them having done me over twice this week with faulty items they refuse to repair, replace or refund.
The 'don't pay $1199' is misleading though, hence the ad was pulled down. I believe they had some contact from a journalist.

Really? Is it true? I wanna see the article
@cloudy: Yes, but no article just yet but the journalist was keen for details so if it does come to fruition I'll be linking it.
Here are a few examples of how Kogan are ripping customers off during this time.

People keep getting suckered into buying 'cheap' rebranded OEM junk from a company that clearly doesn't care about their customers with dodgy products, poor customer service and blatant price-jacking.
These are cheaper on eBay and you get buyer protection.
