Light catches the Porodo Hype Silver the moment you raise your wrist. Under that bright case sits the same trick as the rest of the Hype range: two small wireless earbuds that ride on the side of the watch and come out when you need them. You get a 1.52-inch round IPS screen with 360 × 360 pixels, calls over Bluetooth, a step counter, heart rate, sleep and calorie monitoring, and IP67 protection against sweat and rain. Porodo quotes up to 5 days per charge for the watch and up to 3 hours of use for the earbuds. A leather strap ships in the box alongside the silicone one, and the silver case suits both.

Who the silver finish suits
Silver is the dressier of the two Hype colours. It reads as jewellery more than gym gear, so it fits people who wear a watch to the office, to weddings and to dinner, and want it to look like a watch rather than a fitness band. Swap to the leather strap and the Porodo Hype Silver sits comfortably next to a metal bracelet or a wedding ring. The bright case does show fingerprints and the odd scratch more readily than black, so a soft cloth in the drawer helps. Anyone who prefers a low-profile look should pick the black version instead.
Earbuds you cannot leave at home
Forgetting the earbud case is the usual reason people end up taking calls on speaker. With the Porodo Hype Silver the earbuds live on your wrist: Porodo places them at the side of the watch with a dedicated slot, and you simply detach them. Each has a 35mAh battery and Porodo lists up to 3 hours of operating time. That covers a commute, a few calls and a workout. Porodo publishes no driver size, codec or noise cancellation figures, so we treat them as handy backup earbuds rather than audiophile gear.
What the watch tracks and shows
The round 1.52-inch IPS panel at 360 × 360 pixels shows the time, incoming notifications and your daily figures. On the Porodo Hype Silver you can answer and make calls over Bluetooth, which is useful while driving with a hands-free mount or cooking with your phone across the room. Porodo lists heart rate monitoring, sleep monitoring, calorie counting and a pedometer. Use these numbers to watch your own trends from week to week; this is a lifestyle wearable, not a medical device. Inside is a Bluetrum 8959T5 chipset.
Battery, in real terms
Porodo specifies a 400mAh battery in the watch, rated for up to 5 days, and 35mAh cells in the earbuds; a full charge takes around 4 hours. Expect the lower end of that range if you take many calls through the watch or keep notifications busy all day, and the upper end on quiet days. Porodo does not say whether the earbuds charge while seated in the watch, so read the charging section of the manual when you unbox the Porodo Hype Silver.
Water, phones and what Porodo does not list
The Hype carries an IP67 rating, which handles sweat, rain and washing your hands. Porodo does not mention swimming, and no rating protects against hot water, steam or the sea. Compatibility covers Android 5.0 and later and iOS 10.0 and later. Porodo’s page does not name a companion app, a Bluetooth version, the weight or the case size, so those figures are left out here rather than guessed.
Who This Is Not For
Skip the Porodo Hype Silver if you swim with your watch, if you need earbuds for long listening sessions (they are rated at up to 3 hours), or if you want GPS, ECG or blood pressure readings, none of which Porodo lists. The case is thicker than slim smartwatches because it carries the earbuds, and the bright silver shows scratches sooner than black.
