Porodo TrackFit Apex Screenless Fitness Band | Single-Lead ECG | 14-Day Battery | IP68 Rated | Bluetooth 5.4
Wrist-worn health monitoring for Nairobi professionals who want quiet cardiac readings, sleep insight, and weeks between charges.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
The Porodo TrackFit Apex screenless fitness band is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 7,400, carrying a single-lead ECG sensor, IP68 water resistance, and a 150mAh cell rated for 12 to 14 days of normal use. Porodo builds the TrackFit Apex with no display at all, so the 25-gram stainless steel and ABS body sits flat against your wrist and sends every reading to your phone instead of lighting up. You will find the Porodo TrackFit Apex on our shelves at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, open Monday to Saturday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
Doctors, lawyers, bank staff, and university lecturers keep telling us the same thing. They want health numbers without another screen buzzing at them mid-consultation or mid-lecture. A display-based watch pulls attention every few minutes. The Porodo TrackFit Apex has nothing to look at, so it gathers heart rate, blood oxygen, body temperature, HRV stress, and sleep stages quietly, then hands you the full picture in the Porodo Fit app when you decide to open it. Runners on the Karura trails and long-haul matatu commuters get the same trade: data without interruption.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International lets you handle the Porodo TrackFit Apex before you commit, and you pay only once the band reaches you anywhere in the country. Users consistently report that a 12 to 14 day battery breaks the nightly charging habit that pushes so many wearables into a drawer by month three. At Mascom International, we are seeing steady interest from Nairobi buyers who already carry a capable phone and want cardiac readings rather than more notifications. Walk into Kimathi Street to try one on, or call us and we will send it out.
Common Questions About the Porodo TrackFit Apex
Is the ECG reading on this band accurate enough to trust?
The TrackFit Apex uses a GOODIX GH3228T single-lead ECG sensor, which records the electrical activity of your heart the way a one-channel trace does. This is a wellness reading, not a clinical diagnosis, and it does not replace a 12-lead test at Aga Khan, Nairobi Hospital, or your county facility. What it does well is give you a repeatable daily record you can show a cardiologist. If it flags an irregular rhythm, book a doctor rather than self-interpreting the trace.
How long does the Porodo TrackFit Apex battery actually last in daily use?
Porodo rates the 150mAh battery at 12 to 14 days of normal use and up to 20 days on standby. In practice, running continuous heart rate plus nightly sleep tracking and a few ECG readings a week lands most users near the 11 to 13 day mark. A full recharge through the pogo-pin contacts takes about 2 hours. That works out to roughly 26 charges a year instead of the 365 a daily-charge smartwatch demands.
How do you read your data when the band has no screen?
Everything lives in the Porodo Fit app, free on the App Store and Google Play. Pair over Bluetooth 5.4, and the band pushes stored readings across whenever your phone is nearby. The app charts heart rate, SpO2, sleep stages, stress, temperature, and your saved ECG traces over days and weeks. It also syncs into Apple Health and Google Health, so your Kenyan gym trainer or physiotherapist can view the same figures through whichever app they already use.
Will this work with my phone in Kenya?
The TrackFit Apex needs Android 8.0 or newer, or iOS 12 or newer. That covers almost every phone sold in Kenya over the past seven years, including Tecno Spark and Camon models, Infinix Hot and Note lines, Samsung Galaxy A series handsets, Xiaomi Redmi devices, and every iPhone from the 6s onward. Bluetooth 5.4 pairing holds steady at roughly 10 metres. Your Safaricom, Airtel, or Telkom Kenya line is irrelevant here, since syncing happens over Bluetooth.
Can I wear it swimming or through Nairobi's rainy season?
Yes. The IP68 rating means the band survives dust ingress and sustained immersion in fresh water, so a swim at a Westlands gym pool, a downpour on Thika Road, and handwashing all pose no risk. Keep it away from hot showers, steam rooms, and salt water, since heat and salinity degrade the seals faster than plain water does. Rinse and dry the contacts after any pool session to protect the pogo-pin charging points.
What does it measure beyond heart rate and steps?
The sensor stack covers blood oxygen saturation, skin-surface body temperature, heart rate variability for stress scoring, heart rhythm irregularity alerts, blood pressure trend estimates, and automatic sleep detection with REM stage breakdown. Activity tracking logs steps, distance, and calories through an SC7A20H accelerometer. Treat the blood pressure figure as a trend indicator only, not a replacement for a cuff monitor. For anything that looks abnormal across several days, see a clinician rather than adjusting medication yourself.
Who should buy this instead of a full smartwatch?
Anyone who wants health data but not a second phone on their wrist. Surgeons and nurses who cannot have a screen lighting up during procedures. Advocates in court. Lecturers at Kenyatta University or Strathmore who find watch notifications rude mid-session. Muslim professionals who prefer a discreet wrist device. Night-shift security staff and boda boda operators who need a fortnight of battery. If you want call answering, music control, or maps on your wrist, buy a smartwatch instead.
Does it need Safaricom data or a monthly subscription?
No subscription, no bundle, no hidden fee. The Porodo Fit app is free, and the band talks to your phone entirely over Bluetooth, so it consumes no Safaricom or Airtel data during syncing. You only use a small amount of data when you first download the app or install a firmware update. This matters in Kenya, where several international health wearables lock recovery scores and sleep analysis behind monthly memberships costing more than the hardware.
How does the TrackFit Apex compare with a cheaper band that has no ECG?
Entry-level bands around KSh 3,000 to KSh 4,500 give you steps, a basic optical heart rate reading, and sleep estimates. None of them record an electrical heart trace. The TrackFit Apex adds the single-lead ECG, rhythm irregularity alerts, HRV stress scoring, and temperature, which is the difference between counting activity and watching cardiac patterns. For anyone with a family history of heart trouble, that gap justifies the extra KSh 3,000 several times over.
Technical Specifications
Sensor Hardware and Health Measurements
- GOODIX GH3228T combined ECG and heart rate sensor handles both electrical and optical readings from one module
- SC7A20H three-axis accelerometer counts steps, measures distance, and detects movement patterns for automatic activity classification
- Blood oxygen saturation measured optically, useful for anyone at Nairobi's 1,795-metre altitude or travelling to higher ground
- Skin-surface temperature sensor records baseline shifts that often precede illness by a day or two
- Heart rate variability measurement converts beat spacing into a daily stress score you can track against workload
- Blood pressure trend estimation flags directional change over weeks rather than replacing a validated upper-arm cuff
Cardiac Readings and Rhythm Monitoring
- Single-lead ECG records the heart's electrical trace in roughly 30 seconds with your finger on the contact
- Heart rhythm monitoring flags irregular patterns, giving you something concrete to bring to a cardiology appointment
- Continuous heart rate sampling runs day and night without you starting a session or opening the app
- Saved ECG traces store in the Porodo Fit app and export as files you can email your doctor
- Resting heart rate trend over weeks shows cardiovascular response to training, illness, alcohol, and poor sleep
- Readings are wellness data for personal awareness, not a substitute for hospital diagnostic equipment or medical advice
Sleep and Recovery Tracking
- Automatic sleep detection starts without manual input, catching naps as well as your main overnight sleep
- REM stage breakdown separates light sleep, deep sleep, and REM so you see restoration rather than total hours
- Screenless design means nothing lights up beside your face at 3:00 AM when you shift position
- Overnight heart rate and oxygen curves reveal dips that a step counter alone would never show you
- Sleep scores accumulate week by week, exposing patterns tied to late matatu commutes, load shedding, or shift rotations
- 25-gram weight and slim profile keep the band comfortable through a full night on either wrist
Battery Capacity and Charging
- 150mAh lithium cell rated by Porodo at 12 to 14 days of normal use per charge
- Standby time reaches up to 20 days when tracking features are dialled back or the band sits unused
- Pogo-pin magnetic charger refills the band fully in about 2 hours from any 5V USB source
- Roughly 26 charge cycles a year compared with 365 for a daily-charge smartwatch, extending overall cell lifespan
- No wall adapter needed beyond what you already own, since any phone charger or laptop USB port works
- Battery percentage appears in the Porodo Fit app, with a low-battery alert pushed to your phone
Connectivity and App Support
- Bluetooth 5.4 holds a stable link to your phone at roughly 10 metres through normal indoor walls
- Porodo Fit app runs on Android 8.0 and newer plus iOS 12 and newer, free to download
- Apple Health and Google Health sync pushes your figures into whichever platform your trainer or clinician prefers
- 284KB RAM and 1MB flash storage buffer readings on the band during hours away from your phone
- JieLi 7073A8 chipset manages sensor sampling at low power, which is why the battery stretches so far
- Call, SMS, and app alerts arrive as silent vibration patterns rather than visible text on any display
Build Quality and Daily Durability
- Stainless steel, ABS polymer, and IML glass construction resists the dust and humidity of Kenyan conditions
- IP68 rating covers dust ingress and immersion, so rain, sweat, handwashing, and pool laps cause no damage
- 25-gram total weight disappears on the wrist during workouts, meetings, and overnight wear alike
- Black finish stays discreet under a shirt cuff, suiting hospital wards, courtrooms, and corporate offices
- Screenless face has no glass display to crack, removing the most common failure point on wrist wearables
- Adjustable strap fits wrists across a wide size range without tools or replacement links
Package Contents
The Porodo TrackFit Apex retail box contains the tracker with its strap fitted, the pogo-pin magnetic charging cable, and Porodo's quick start guide with pairing instructions. Mascom International adds a receipt and warranty card at purchase. No wall adapter is included, since any 5V USB charger or laptop port you already own handles the 2-hour recharge. We stock compatible USB wall adapters separately if you need one.
Warranty
The Porodo TrackFit Apex carries a 12-month Porodo warranty covering hardware defects under normal use, processed through Mascom International's Nairobi CBD service desk. Physical damage, water exposure beyond the IP68 limit, and normal battery wear over time fall outside coverage. Keep your receipt and the original box for any claim.
