ULPT - Please help me with this, I bought a watch from a faulty store

I recently bought a watch in Spain but it turned out faulty, meaning it was an automatic watch that lasted just 4 hours after Automatik was used for a couple of hours, which shouldn't be normal. Worker said she told me the automatic watch is only Automatik as long as I wear but I don't remember that and it also defeats the purpose of the automatic that should charge the watch. It shouldn't just go off after 4 hours. I am on vacation and don't want to return it but she said and if is also "store policy" that they can't give the money back, I paid on PayPal. I doubt the others will be good since they are all cheap bullshit watches. Luckily I contacted PayPal as I paid in the store with card payment. Local store btw, so not online purchase. They told me basically that if was impossible to get a refund because of store policy and Spain allows stores to decide for themselves, which I doubt. She told me only replacements or gift cards of this store which are basically the same and I don't want to accept that. I rather would like a refund but they just basically told me I can only get another watch once and if this doesn't work too, I lost my money. I am also here only for vacation so won't stay here all the time. Am I in this case entitled to get my money back? Can someone please give some advice? Thanks in advance :))) 🙏🙏
