IO?IONI in Dubai

I first saw these funny rubber watches last summer, while watching the England cricket team, Andrew Strauss I believe was sporting one. Then in November, Tom my trainer from the PTX course (more about that below) was wearing one, next my wife got one. Finally I seen John Mensah (Sunderland footballer) wearing one. Anyhoo, I copied my wife.

The blarb behind these is that they offset positive ions in the environment with negative ions, and this can improve concentration, detoxification, sleep, relaxation, vitality and mood. For the sake of dhs100 I thought I’d give it a go.

For anyone based in Dubai, I bought mine from the Virgin store in Mall of the Emirates who had a great selection. However, as with many things here in Dubai, they are a lot cheaper in the UK.
