The Egyptian startup CardoO, specialised in Internet of Things (IoT) devices, has launched its first IoT-Enabled Smartwatch. This step comes shortly after CardoO’s success in closing a seed fund round of $660,000, led by the Alexandria Angel Network, with participation from Sofico Investments and angel investors from Saudi Arabia.
“We are thrilled to introduce the CardoO Watch, our first IoT-enabled product that combines style, functionality, and connectivity,” said Ahmed Adel, Founder and CEO of CardoO. “Sleek design meets functionality in CardoO Watch, making it the perfect companion for a fashionable and active lifestyle. With its advanced features and seamless integration with the CardoO mobile app, the CardoO Watch represents a significant milestone in our commitment to delivering innovative and accessible smart devices to our valued customers, we are proud to have developed this Egyptian technology product with a team of Egyptian developers in the company.”
Adel added, “The new watch is designed to be compatible with the CardoO smart application, which can be downloaded for free on smartphones. We developed this application based on artificial intelligence algorithms to provide data analysis and recommendations, enabling a professional user experience.”
Adel emphasised that the new product meets the needs of the middle-class segment with its competitive price. He explained that the initial stage will target distribution within the Egyptian market, with plans to expand to other regional countries in subsequent stages.

With a durable zinc alloy body, IML finish, and IP68 waterproof rating, it ensures longevity. Its 1.9″ IPS full-view color screen produces sharp images with a resolution of 240×283 at 320 PPI. The device offers a 260mAh polymer lithium battery for 5-7 days of regular use and up to 20 days in power-saving mode.
