A lightweight everyday wrist companion for step goals, sleep habits and phone alerts across Kenya.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Porodo Nomad Smartwatch is available at Mascom International for KSh 3,380, brand new and sealed, with a 1.54-inch TFT touch screen, a 290mAh battery rated for about 5 days of use, Bluetooth 5.3 and IP67 water resistance. This is the watch on its own, without the extra strap pair that comes in the KSh 3,700 sets. Porodo, the accessories brand, built the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch around a 240 x 240 panel and a JieLi JL7012A chip. You can collect it from our shop at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for delivery.
Built for university students, sales teams and logistics coordinators across Kenya, the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch keeps your phone's alerts on your wrist. A call or WhatsApp message is easy to miss when your handset sits deep in a bag on a crowded matatu. The watch buzzes and shows the notification, so you decide whether to reach for the phone. It also counts daily activity, tracks progress toward step goals, and logs heart rate and sleep patterns as general wellness readings. Music controls, a camera shutter and a find-phone button handle small jobs that usually mean unlocking your phone.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell unbranded watches with no paper trail, Mascom International stocks the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch with a 12-month warranty and a walk-in counter in the CBD. Customers across Nairobi tell us they want a watch that handles notifications and fitness basics without the cost of a phone-brand wearable. At KSh 3,380, the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch fits that need well. Visit us on Kimathi Street to try the screen on your wrist, or order on WhatsApp and pay only when it reaches your door.
Common Questions About the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch
How much is the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch in Kenya?
The Porodo Nomad Smartwatch costs KSh 3,380, sealed in its box, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the watch on its own with a 12-month warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. The gold dial and black dial sets cost KSh 3,700, which is KSh 320 more, and each adds a metal strap plus a silicone strap. If one strap is enough for you, this standalone version keeps that difference in your pocket.
Should I buy the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch alone or one of the strap sets?
Buy the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch alone if you want the same screen, battery and features for KSh 320 less. The KSh 3,700 sets pair the identical watch with a metal strap and a silicone strap, in either a gold dial or a black dial. Choose a set if you wear the watch to the office and to the gym and like to swap bands to match. Choose this version if one look is enough, or if you would rather pick a strap later.
Does the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch work with Safaricom and Airtel phones in Kenya?
Yes, the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch works with any compatible phone, whichever Kenyan network the SIM uses. The watch holds no SIM itself; it links to your handset over Bluetooth 5.3. So whether your line runs on Safaricom, Airtel Kenya or Telkom, calls and messages that reach the phone can appear on the wrist. M-Pesa confirmation messages show up too, provided you allow notifications for your messaging app in the companion app settings.
Who should buy the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch, and who should skip it?
The Porodo Nomad Smartwatch suits first-time wearable buyers, students and busy staff who mainly want alerts, step goals and a clear clock face. It is also a sensible gift at this price. Skip it if you run long routes and need built-in GPS mapping, since GPS is not listed among its features. Anyone wanting a watch with its own mobile connection or deeper fitness coaching should look at an Apple Watch or a Samsung Galaxy Watch instead.
How long does the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch battery last on one charge?
The Porodo Nomad Smartwatch is rated for about 5 days of connected use and about 15 days on standby. Its 290mAh battery takes around 2 hours to recharge from empty, according to Porodo. In practice, one charge on a Sunday evening carries most owners through the working week. That matters when KPLC power cuts hit your area, because the watch keeps running for days while your laptop and phone compete for the power bank.
Can I wear the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch in the rain or while washing my hands?
Yes, the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch carries an IP67 rating, so rain, sweat and hand washing pose no problem in normal use. IP67 means the casing is sealed against dust and can survive brief immersion in fresh water up to about 1 metre. That covers a downpour on the walk to the stage or a dusty afternoon in Industrial Area. Avoid swimming, saunas and hot showers, because heat and pressure fall outside what the rating tests.
Is the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch compatible with iPhone and Android phones?
The Porodo Nomad Smartwatch pairs with Android phones running version 4.4 or later and iPhones running iOS 9.0 or later. That covers almost every handset sold in Kenya over the past several years. You install the companion app that Porodo links on its product page, switch on Bluetooth, and pair the watch from inside the app. Our staff can do the pairing for you at the counter on Kimathi Street if you would like help setting it up.
Is the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch accurate enough for medical heart rate monitoring?
No, the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch is a lifestyle tracker, not a medical device, so treat its heart rate and sleep readings as general guides only. They help you notice patterns, such as how a late night shows up in your sleep log or how hard a brisk walk felt. They cannot diagnose, treat or rule out any condition. If you have a heart concern or a health question, speak to a qualified doctor rather than relying on any consumer watch.
Technical Specifications
Display
- 1.54-inch screen — a compact face that reads clearly at a glance and sits comfortably on smaller wrists without looking bulky.
- TFT panel — a standard colour LCD technology that keeps the price low while showing the time, alerts and activity figures clearly.
- 240 x 240 resolution — a square grid of pixels that draws notification text, icons and watch faces cleanly at this size.
- Touch control — swipe and tap through menus the way you use a phone, rather than pressing buttons for every single action.
- Built-in games — a few simple games run on the watch itself, handy for a short break while you wait in a queue.
Health and Activity Tracking
- Activity monitoring — counts your daily movement so you can see how active a workday at the office or on campus really was.
- Goal progress tracking — set a daily target and watch your progress build, a simple nudge to take the stairs instead of the lift.
- Heart rate readings — a general wellness indicator during walks and workouts, not a medical measurement or a diagnosis of any kind.
- Sleep tracking — a nightly record of when you slept, useful for spotting how many late nights crept into a busy week.
- Companion app view — readings show in the app Porodo links for download, where you can look back over recent days.
Battery
- 290mAh capacity — the battery size, measured in milliamp-hours, which in this watch supports several days of use between charges.
- About 5 days of use — Porodo's rated Bluetooth working time, covering a full Monday-to-Friday week of alerts and tracking.
- About 15 days on standby — the rated figure when the watch sits idle without active tasks, useful if you rotate between watches.
- 2-hour recharge — the manufacturer's stated time from empty to full, so one evening on the charger readies it for the week.
- Weekly charging habit — at the rated figures, most owners plug the watch in once a week instead of every night like a phone.
Connectivity
- Bluetooth 5.3 — a recent Bluetooth version that pairs quickly and holds a steady link to your phone within normal room range.
- Android 4.4 and above — works with practically every Android phone sold in recent years, from budget handsets to high-end models.
- iOS 9.0 and above — pairs with iPhones on any recent software version through the companion app on the App Store.
- Real-time notifications — calls, messages and social media updates appear on the wrist as soon as they reach your phone.
- Phone shortcuts — music control, a remote camera shutter, a find-phone alarm and a voice assistant trigger, all from the wrist.
Build
- IP67 rating — IP means Ingress Protection; the 6 stands for dust-tight sealing and the 7 for brief immersion up to about 1 metre.
- JieLi JL7012A chip — the low-power processor that runs the watch software and manages the screen, sensors and Bluetooth link.
- Colour range — Porodo sells this model in Black, Gold and Silver, so confirm the finish in stock before you order.
- Swappable strap fitting — the strap detaches from the case, so you can fit a different band later as your style changes.
- Standalone package — this version comes with a single strap, while the metal-plus-silicone strap pairs come only in the KSh 3,700 sets.
Package Contents
The standalone box keeps things simple. Inside you get the Porodo Nomad Smartwatch with its fitted strap and a charging cable for topping up the 290mAh battery. There are no extra straps in this package, which is how the price stays at KSh 3,380. If you want a metal band for the office and a silicone band for workouts from day one, the gold dial and black dial sets add both. Mascom International also stocks wall adapters if you need one for the cable.
Warranty
The Porodo Nomad Smartwatch ships with a 12-month warranty through Mascom International, covering manufacturing defects under normal use. That includes faults in the screen, battery, charging or Bluetooth that arise without physical damage or misuse. Bring the watch and your receipt to our service desk in Nairobi CBD to make a claim.
