Maybe try going to thrift stores and buying single watches. Once you learn some skills move up into lots

[@Edu2503]

The Chinese "Garmin"-like watch with a camera is actually a phone watch, I bet it has a SIM tray as well. I used to have one of those, served me well about 5 years ago, even. I think it's called something like DZ20 or DZ50, I don't remember. It's a "feature" phone that used to have web apps for the now Meta social media, or at least for Whatsapp and Facebook Messenger. The battery time was horrible, though. Call quality was weirdly good, the camera was almost a joke.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Hahaha thanks I didn’t know that. I just looked, and it does have a SIM card

Bro, mostly all of the watches are junk the citizen if you fix them, you can sell them. You can probably recoup your $60 costs.

Maybe you can change a battery here and there, but if you pick some of the bracelets and you can do crystals, you can make even more money selling these. repaired yourself a favor just take all the dog watches that you got and resell it on eBay and screw someone else over.
