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 :))) 🙏🙏

The best u really can do is search a watch shop and let ist service for you. Its pretty common for old automatics to get this problems because alle the lube dries up and dirt settles inside the gearings. Last time i payed around 100€ for a really good service and cleaning and my Seiko got up from 6h reserve to up to 32h reserve
