Mascom International stocks the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch gold dial set at KSh 3,700, brand new and sealed, with a gold metal strap and a pink silicone strap in the same box. The watch itself carries a 1.54-inch TFT touch screen at 240 x 240 pixels, a 290mAh cell rated for roughly 5 days, Bluetooth 5.3 and an IP67 seal. Porodo designs the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch for buyers who want notifications and activity figures at an entry price. Collect yours from Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, in Nairobi CBD.
Designed for estate agents, accountants, journalists and young professionals, the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch gold dial set handles two dress codes with one purchase. Many buyers end up hunting for a second band a month after buying a watch, then struggle to find one that fits. This set solves that from the start. The gold metal band sits well with a blazer at a Kilimani client visit or an Upper Hill board meeting. The pink silicone band takes over for a jog, a dance class or a hot Saturday at the market, and it wipes clean afterwards.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell a gold watch and leave strap shopping to you, Mascom International bundles both bands for KSh 320 above the watch alone. At Mascom International, we're seeing this gold set picked often as a birthday or graduation gift, because the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch arrives in this box ready to wear two ways from the first day. The Porodo Nomad Smartwatch also carries a 12-month warranty from our CBD counter. Walk in and try both straps on your wrist, or order it on WhatsApp and pay by M-Pesa or cash when the rider arrives.
Common Questions About the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch
How much is the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch gold dial set in Kenya?
The Porodo Nomad Smartwatch gold dial set sells for KSh 3,700, sealed, at Mascom International on Kimathi Street, Nairobi. For that amount you receive the gold-finish watch, a gold metal strap and a pink silicone strap, plus 12 months of warranty cover. Delivery is pay-on-arrival anywhere in Kenya. The same watch without the extra straps costs KSh 3,380, so the second band and the metal option together add KSh 320 to the bill.
How does the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch gold dial set differ from the black dial set?
Both Porodo Nomad Smartwatch sets cost KSh 3,700 and share the same screen, battery, Bluetooth 5.3 and features. The difference is purely in looks. This gold version pairs a gold case with a gold metal band and a pink silicone band, giving a warm, bright style. The black version keeps everything dark, with a black metal band and a black silicone band. Pick gold if you like jewellery-style accents; pick black if you prefer a quiet look that matches anything.
Which strap on the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch suits hot and humid days in Kenya?
For hot, sticky days, the pink silicone strap on the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch is usually the more comfortable pick. Silicone rinses under a tap and dries quickly, which helps in Mombasa humidity or a sweaty afternoon in Kisumu. The gold metal band feels smarter but warms up in direct sun and can trap moisture underneath. Many owners wear metal for indoor office hours, then switch to silicone for outdoor errands, sport and weekend travel up-country.
Is the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch gold dial set a good gift, and who should pass on it?
The Porodo Nomad Smartwatch gold dial set makes a thoughtful gift for a student, a recent graduate or a colleague who likes gold accessories. Two straps in the box mean the recipient can dress it up or down at once. Pass on it if the wearer dislikes bright finishes, since the black dial set suits them better. Serious runners wanting built-in GPS route maps should also skip it and look at a dedicated sports watch instead.
Can the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch show M-Pesa and WhatsApp messages?
Yes, the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch mirrors notifications from your phone, including M-Pesa SMS confirmations and WhatsApp chats. Once you allow alerts for those apps in the companion app, they appear on the 1.54-inch screen as they arrive. That helps when you are serving customers or driving and cannot check your handset. You read the alert on the watch and reply later from the phone, because the watch shows notifications rather than replacing your keyboard.
How often will I need to charge the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch?
Expect to charge the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch roughly once a week, based on Porodo's rating of about 5 days of connected use. Standby time is rated at about 15 days if you leave it unpaired. A full recharge takes around 2 hours, so an evening plug-in before dinner is enough. With either strap fitted, the battery figures stay the same, because the band has no effect on how the watch draws power.
Does the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch measure blood pressure or blood oxygen?
Porodo does not list blood pressure or blood oxygen measurement for the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch, so do not buy it for those readings. Its tracking covers daily activity, goal progress and general heart rate and sleep logs as everyday wellness guides. None of these figures replace a clinic check or a doctor's advice. If you need to monitor a medical condition, ask your doctor which certified device suits you, and use this watch for lifestyle habits only.
Does the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch need a SIM card or data bundle to work?
No, the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch needs no SIM card or bundle of its own; it relies on your phone. A Bluetooth 5.3 link carries alerts from your handset to the watch, whether your line is with Safaricom, Airtel Kenya or Telkom. Your phone uses data only when the companion app syncs your activity history. Keep the phone within normal room range, and the watch keeps receiving calls and message alerts throughout the day.
Technical Specifications
Screen and Display
- 1.54-inch face — a modest size that looks neat against a slim gold metal band and stays readable during a busy day.
- TFT colour panel — a common LCD screen type that keeps cost down while displaying alerts, figures and watch faces in colour.
- 240 x 240 pixels — the square resolution, sharp enough for message previews and clock faces on a screen of this size.
- Touch navigation — swipe between screens and tap to open features, much like scrolling through menus on a mobile phone.
- Simple games — small games built into the watch fill a few minutes while you wait at the bank or a bus stage.
Health Sensors and Tracking
- Daily activity count — logs how much you move each day, from a walk across town to a long afternoon on your feet.
- Target progress — choose a daily movement goal and see how close you are, a gentle prompt to stay active between meetings.
- Heart rate log — a general guide to effort during exercise, meant for lifestyle awareness rather than any medical purpose.
- Sleep record — shows the timing of your night's rest so you can compare quiet weeks with busy deadline weeks.
- App history — the companion app keeps earlier readings, so you can look back at the past several days in one place.
Battery and Charging
- 290mAh cell — milliamp-hours describe capacity; this size lets a small watch run for days instead of hours between top-ups.
- Roughly 5 days connected — Porodo's rated working time with Bluetooth active, enough for a typical working week of alerts.
- Roughly 15 days standby — the rated idle time, helpful if you leave the watch in a drawer while wearing another one.
- Around 2 hours to refill — Porodo's stated recharge time, short enough to finish while you cook supper in the evening.
- Strap-neutral power — swapping between the metal and silicone bands changes nothing about how long a charge lasts.
Connectivity and Phone Features
- Bluetooth 5.3 — a current wireless standard that connects fast and keeps the watch linked to your handset around the house.
- Android 4.4 or newer — practically any Android handset on sale in recent years pairs through the companion app.
- iOS 9.0 or newer — iPhones on current and older software versions also pair, so mixed-phone families can share one model.
- Live notifications — calls, texts and social media alerts land on the watch moments after your phone receives them.
- Remote controls — play or pause music, fire the camera shutter, ring a lost phone and wake the voice assistant from the watch.
Build and Straps
- Gold-finish case — a warm metallic tone that pairs with the included gold band for a jewellery-style look at work.
- Gold metal strap — a link-style band for formal occasions, from church on Sunday to a client lunch in Westlands.
- Pink silicone strap — soft, flexible and easy to rinse, better suited to sport, sweat and long days out in the sun.
- IP67 sealing — Ingress Protection 6 means no dust gets in; 7 means brief submersion to about 1 metre in fresh water.
- JieLi JL7012A processor — the energy-saving chip running the watch software, sensors, display and Bluetooth connection.
Package Contents
This set is built around choice. The box holds the gold-dial Porodo Nomad Smartwatch, a gold metal strap, a pink silicone strap and a charging cable for the 290mAh battery. Having both bands from the first day saves a separate trip to find a strap that fits the case. If you prefer a single band and a lower price, the KSh 3,380 standalone version suits you. A wall adapter for the cable is available separately at Mascom International.

Mascom International supplies the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch gold dial set with a 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects under normal use. Cover extends to faults in the display, battery, charging and Bluetooth that occur without drops, liquid misuse or tampering. Claims are handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk with your receipt.
