Do you believe this could work with an Apple Watch in Amazon? Returning a fake one

I don't know about that, apple stuff seems to get bricked pretty easy from what I've heard

Simply return another stock Item, that weighs roughly the same.

Purchase something that's significantly cheaper.

I'll update this with more information as I get it.

Those seals can be removed quite easily with a hair dryer, swap or remove the item and put it back on. The problem is that they will then sell the item on to an unsuspecting member of the public which is a bad move imo.

Agree, I've done It on a number of occasions.

Just don't forcefully try and take It off, otherwise It'll show signs of tampering.

They don’t check the item, before to send the refound?

But, when they discover it’s a fake one, the can refuse the rufound request, right?

You're not following. You do not send a fake Item.
Here's a breakdown.

(1). Purchase "another Item" that they stock, Is significantly cheaper and weighs roughly the same as the watch.

(2). On request, send the "other Item" that you've purchased.

(3). They will check that It's part of their Inventory, and assume they've sent you a wrong Item.

(4). They'll then Issue a refund on the watch.
