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
G-OPS8 Smartwatch – IP67, Sports modes, ECG, body temp, blood pressure, SpO2, sleep analysis, social media alerts
$229.00
You could pay $469 for an Apple Watch SE with NO ECG, SpO2, or body temperature monitoring. In fact, you’d have to pay $729 to get the latest Apple Watch with those features, and Samsung’s top range $869 Galaxy Watch 5 Pro still doesn’t have body temperature or blood pressure.
In fact, even if you paid $1499 for the new Apple Watch Ultra, you still won’t get blood pressure data.
The G-OPS8 offers you cutting edge tech at a fraction of the price (and bragging rights over your Apple-wearing mates!) PLUS: it won’t call an ambulance just because it thinks your golf swing resembles a car crash! Apple, on the other hand….
NOTE: none of these watches, including the G-OPS8, are calibrated to the same precision as professional medical equipment. The data is indicative only and does not replace the need for regular medical checkups. You should consult your doctor if symptoms arise.

Smartwatch MX-OPS5 – bluetooth calling, heart rate, blood oxygen, blood pressure, message alerts, IP68 water resistant
$149.00Add to cartThe 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
