Gard Pro is a real, long-running smartwatch storefront, but buyers report rebranded low-cost watches and a difficult return process.
gardpro.nl is a Shopify-style webshop selling Gard Pro smartwatches, with "Shop Nu" buttons leading to product collections and support handled through a separate customerdesk.io portal. The domain is about 1,397 days old, the connection is properly encrypted, and the browser threat feed shows no warning, so this is not a malware or phishing site. What pulls the score down is the customer experience: an independent review platform's reviews include buyers describing the watches as cheap rebranded Chinese models sold at a large markup, inaccurate fitness measurements, and a refund that only came after paying for tracked return postage. The site also does not show a phone number or a postal address for the operator. The result is a moderate-risk shop: real goods and real reviews, but real complaints about quality and returns.

Investigation Brief
gardpro.nl is a Shopify-style webshop selling Gard Pro smartwatches, with "Shop Nu" buttons leading to product collections and support handled through a separate customerdesk.io portal. The domain is about 1,397 days old, the connection is properly encrypted, and the browser threat feed shows no warning, so this is not a malware or phishing site. What pulls the score down is the customer experience: an independent review platform's reviews include buyers describing the watches as cheap rebranded Chinese models sold at a large markup, inaccurate fitness measurements, and a refund that only came after paying for tracked return postage. The site also does not show a phone number or a postal address for the operator. The result is a moderate-risk shop: real goods and real reviews, but real complaints about quality and returns.
What buyers actually report
The strongest adverse evidence is an independent review platform's review that calls the store a scam and says the watches are extremely cheap Chinese knock-offs costing £10-30 on AliExpress, rebranded and upsold with Gard Pro stickers. That is one buyer's characterisation, not a verified supply-chain finding, but it is specific and detailed.
A second reviewer says the distance and speed measurements are absolutely inaccurate and only the time seems correct, and mentions buying the watch partly because swimming was advertised. A third describes a refund that only arrived after jumping through hoops and paying nearly £6 for tracked return postage that was not reimbursed, even though the wrong watch had been sent.
Against that, the store's an independent review platform's profile shows a 4.2 rating across roughly 4,952 reviews, so a large share of buyers are evidently satisfied and the complaints are not the whole picture.
Technical checks versus operator transparency
On the technical side there is little to fear: the saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection and the browser threat feed returned no threat warning. One saved antivirus result marked the URL as suspicious, but that observation is stale and comes from a single engine, so it is a note to confirm rather than proof of malware.
The operator side is weaker. The captured page lists no phone number and no postal address, so a buyer with a problem has no obvious route to a named company or a physical place to escalate to. That absence is a transparency problem, not by itself proof of fraud.
Why the score is 58
One customer complaint on a public review site: "SCAM COMPANY - BUYER BEWARE Absolute SCAM COMPANY.These are extremely cheaply made chinese knock offs that cost £10-30 on AliExpress, that have been rebranded,…". Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

If this is a scam — what it means for you
What happens when you order
A visitor clicks "Shop Nu" and is taken into the product collections to buy a watch directly from the store.
If this is a scam, how it works
The evidence-backed path
Each stage below is preserved from the grounded analysis and linked to saved evidence.
Returns, shipping and warranty questions are routed off the shop to a separate support portal at gardpro.customerdesk.io, so the return conversation happens on a different domain from the one where the purchase was made.
At least one buyer reports that the return path ended with them paying for tracked postage themselves and not being reimbursed, after receiving the wrong watch.
If you want a Gard Pro watch, treat it as a normal online purchase with real risk: check the exact model and specifications against independent sources before paying, keep the order confirmation, and assume you may have to pay return postage yourself if something goes wrong. Because the store shows no phone number or postal address, pay by a method that lets you dispute the charge, and do not expect premium build quality at the advertised price.
