WARNING: Beware of Cowboys selling “cheap” rugged phones
Some big rugged phones sites and TradeMe sellers are trying to flog-off phones that don’t work in rural areas, and which may not work anywhere once Vodafone and Spark switch off the 3G cellsites next year – and they’re lying to their customers about it, still promising “compatible with all NZ 3G/4G networks”.
To help you avoid being stung, we’ve compiled a database of all rugged phones and whether they are really compatible. Read more at the links
Smartwatch MX-OPS5 – bluetooth calling, heart rate, blood oxygen, blood pressure, message alerts, IP68 water resistant
$149.00
The ideal smartwatch in a covid world – even the big brands have not introduced this level of health tech yet. We tested 12 Chinese smartwatch models – only two showed the level of accuracy on the biomed functions that we demanded. The MX-OPS5 is used by Outdoor Phone Store staff. It automatically tracks heartbeat. Wristwatch blood pressure tech is still in its infancy so it’s not medical grade, but it will show you trends up or down once the watch gets to understand your normal. Blood oxygen (SpO2) saturation – one of the key covid early warning tools – is also built in. All the collected data from the various medical functions is synced to an app on your phone and daily reports can even be emailed to your doctor. In addition to the cutting edge health tech, this smartwatch offers the usual functions of call and app alerts, with the added bonus of being able to receive phone calls and talk via the watch itself. If you don’t need bluetooth calling, and you need to monitor body temperature, choose the Q-OPS21 model instead. 12 month RTB warranty

$299.00Read moreWorried about elderly parents living alone or in care? The VNZ48 Emergency Locator Beacon/Elderly Medical Alarm is half the price of comparable alarms on the NZ market and it provides instant peace of mind (REQUIRES SIM CARD AND MOBILE PLAN) Worn like a watch, the VNZ48 is waterproof so doesn’t need to be taken off. If your loved one suffers a fall and doesn’t respond to the alarm countdown, the VNZ48 will auto-dial three numbers of your choosing until someone responds. It will give you location details and open up an HD voice channel so you can talk directly to your loved one. Additionally, you can set the alarm to alert you if your loved one wanders off (ideal for dementia care). A manual SOS button also allows your parent to summon help if they’re still conscious and have not fallen, while a microphone button provides instant HD voice chat without them needing to ring you. A smartphone app also allows you to remotely monitor health vitals like heart rate and body temperature. The VNZ48 works in NZ cities with cellphone coverage. No need to pay monthly monitoring fees!
