5 Porodo products from OMR 6.900 to OMR 57.000 - fitness bands, a jump-starter power bank and a lifestyle item or two.

Please read the note on health claims below before buying a fitness band from any brand, this one included.

Fitness bands and what they measure

Two of the Porodo trackers here carry electrocardiogram wording in the manufacturer's own product name. We list the name as the manufacturer gives it, because that is what is printed on the box you will receive. We do not repeat the claim as a capability on the product page.

A wrist or finger sensor at this price produces wellness indicators, not medical measurements. No device in this price range has been through a regulator for ECG, blood pressure or blood glucose. Use the readings to spot a trend over weeks and take anything that looks wrong to a doctor.

What these bands do reliably is count steps, estimate heart rate and record roughly when you slept. At under OMR 20 that is a fair deal - as long as it is what you expected.

The Gagefit power bank and jump starter

This is a genuinely useful thing to keep in a car in Oman: a power bank that will also jump-start a vehicle, with a tire inflator and a lamp.

One caution that applies to any lithium device kept in a car here: heat. A battery left in a closed car through an Omani summer degrades far faster than one kept indoors, and a jump starter that has degraded is a jump starter that will not work when you need it. Check and recharge it every few months.

The rest of the range

Porodo also makes lifestyle products beyond phone accessories, and a couple appear in our catalogue. Where a supplier has published little specification for one, our product page says so plainly rather than assuming. Ask us and we will open a unit in Ruwi or Salalah and tell you what we find.

Buying from Playphone

Every Porodo product listed here is sealed, brand new and 100% original, delivered free anywhere in Oman or collected from the Ruwi or Salalah store. If you are deciding between two Porodo products, message us with what you actually use the device for and we will tell you which one fits - including when the cheaper one is the right answer.
