“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 by a team of Egyptian developers in the company.” Adel added.
He further said 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.”
The new product meets the needs of the middle-class segment with its competitive price, Adel further said. He explained that the initial stage would target distribution within the Egyptian market, with plans to expand to other regional countries in subsequent stages.
