Oraimo products come with a 6 months to 1 year warranty on its products if you buy at a bloated price from dealers like Banana Lifestyle. A way to not shop directly from the brand itself is not a deal breaker but comes with its qualms like being vigilant of counterfeit products.
4. TECNO UGANDAWhile best known for its smartphones, TECNO has successfully ventured into the wearables market with smartwatches and fitness bands designed for the modern user. Tecno’s wearables are affordable and equipped with essential features like heart-rate monitoring and sleep tracking, making them perfect for the health-conscious Ugandan.

5. SAMSUNG UGANDASamsung is a well-established brand in Uganda, with its Galaxy Buds and Galaxy Watches offering cutting-edge technology for those looking for premium products. Samsung wearables are known for their smooth integration with the brand's ecosystem, allowing users to easily connect with their smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs.

The high price of products make them not a very value for money option and the presence of low quality but very similar looking counterfeits in the market make it hard to buy in reality.
