Sweatcoin is a mobile application that rewards users for physical activity by converting their steps into a digital currency called "sweatcoins." The app offers a variety of rewards that users can purchase with their earned sweatcoins, including physical products such as headphones, fitness equipment, and smartwatches. However, there have been claims that most of Sweatcoin's physical products are dropshipped. In this article, we will explore what dropshipping is and examine the evidence to support this claim.

Dropshipping is a retail fulfillment method where a store does not keep the products it sells in stock. Instead, when a store sells a product using the dropshipping model, it purchases the item from a third party and has it shipped directly to the customer. The store never physically handles the product. This method is popular with online stores because it eliminates the need for inventory storage and shipping logistics.

There is evidence to suggest that some of Sweatcoin's physical products are dropshipped. While there is nothing inherently wrong with dropshipping, it is important for consumers to be aware of where their products are coming from and who is responsible for their quality and safety.

To give an example, here is a screenshot of the "store" at the time of writing this article :

Let’s get to https://danishendurance.com/ first,

This one is an actually legit website as you can even see their brands on their clothings. Great !

Now for the other two :

Cléo Jewey : the website is nice but you can easily get a nice looking Shopify template. Browsing the website, I see those nice « looking » (emphasis on the looking) bracelets :

Let’s make a simple google image search on that very picture :

I’m sure you recognize AliExpress here. What a nice 136,12 € margin ! Even if you apply the 70 % coupon given by SweatCoin, you’ll pay 42,89 € which is still 36,05 € more. Don’t be fooled by a huge discount like that, it’s usually too good to be true.

Now for RaveSound :

Will you look at that ! It’s a good thing it will arrive before Christmas !

No quick results ? It’s legit ? Let’s dig a little more :

Why isn’t the airbugs called RaveSound ? Weird, right ? Let’s search that name on Presearch :

So the first link is actually an Amazon one ?

I have a feeling of Deja vu.

In conclusion, while Sweatcoin offers a unique incentive for users to stay active, the evidence suggests that most of its physical products are dropshipped. This means that the app is not directly responsible for the quality or safety of these products. Consumers should be aware of this when deciding whether to purchase products from the Sweatcoin shop.
