this is one of the newest ID series smart watches on the market branded as Woneligo ID208BT
it's a rectangular shape wearable that features Alexa Voice Assistant
a nice IPS display and a great battery life
in today's video we're going to be focused on the ID208BT
a great combination of a smartwatch and a fitness tracker
and before we get started let's check out the contents of this slim looking box
inside you'll find instruction manuals and a warranty card
the manuals also contain a QR code that can be scanned to download the companion app to your phone
and USB-A charging cable
a silicon wrist strap that needs to be attached to the watch
and the ID208 smartwatch itself
to attach the straps you'll need to locate the two lugs on the back of the watch
slide the ends of the wrist strap through the lugs
lift that little pin on the strap
once it's in place it should click which means it's in
the smartwatch is a minimalist wearable with a sporty curved corners and a single rectangular button
it's a simple looking smartwatch with a glossy finish available in purple black blue and pink
on the back of the watch we can find a three-axis PPG sensor
that is used to measure the heart rate spo2 and the sleep tracking which we'll discuss in a few minutes
there's also a microphone and a speaker which allows to make a phone calls
the ID208 is 5 ATM water resistant which means it's splash proof
sweat proof and can be worn while washing your hands or showering
however it's not recommended to wear it in a swimming pool or sea for prolonged periods of time
as the salt or chemicals in the water might damage the seals and the metal parts of the watch
the smartwatch has 1.69 inch high definition IPS display with a resolution of 240 by 280 pixels
it's a full touchscreen with five levels of brightness adjustment
the display is protected by a 2.5D tempered Gorilla Glass and has an anti-fingerprint coating
the ID208 I got today is branded Woneligo but there are other rebrands of the smartwatch available
the most popular are Tensky
AEAC and IDO
the smartwatches may also come in various colour variants
but we'll be focusing on the pink Woneligo ID208
the smartwatch uses a companion app called VeryFit
which is free and compatible with IOS and Android devices
you'll need to install the app on your phone to set up and personalize the watch
to install the app you can scan the QR code from the included manuals or from the display of the watch
or simply type VeryFit in Apple Store or Google Play Store
the app is very simplistic but organized in a logical way
provides a variety of features including storing all the data collected by the watch
setting goals for yourself, such as number of steps to take each day or a certain amount of weight to lose
once you've installed the app on your phone make sure Bluetooth is enabled
however do not connect your watch to your phone from the Bluetooth settings menu
to connect and pair your devices open the companion app
go to "device" and press "scan QR code" icon in the top right corner of the app
scan the code from the watch screen
once the pairing is complete the watch will set the date and time to the same as on your phone
you can also customize the display of your ID208 by changing or creating watch faces
to do this go to the "device" tab
select watch faces and choose from over 100 watch faces
tap on a watch face to download and sync it with your watch
it might take a few moments for the watch face to sync
you can also create your own background by selecting one of the photos from your phone
crop it
set the font color on a position and tap send
this will send your customized watch face to your watch
the ID208 is equipped with at least 60 sports modes to help you get fit
it can track your steps, heart rate and calories burned
during activities such as walking, running, biking, yoga and swimming
the ID208 also has a smart recognition feature that can automatically detect and switch to the correct sports mode
for example if you're starting running the watch will automatically switch to the running mode and start tracking your heart rate steps and distance
unfortunately the watch hasn't got a GPS built in to track your position during a walking, biking or running exercises
but the companion app can utilize the GPS location directly from your phone
all you have to do - open the app and start the walking, running or biking exercise from the app
and your GPS position going to be tracked and recorded within the app
talking about sports modes, let's check one of the fundamental and core functions of the smartwatch the step count accuracy
and before we carry on make sure you're subscribed
my wife took a vintage manual tally counter and clicked for every step she took
this will give her a proper measurement for the step count accuracy of the ID208
here is what we got
for 1000 steps clicked on the tally counter the ID208 counted 1006 steps
this gives us really good step count accuracy
now let's check the health tracking
we have a medical grade pulse oximeter here
and we will first measure the resting heart rate against the pulse oximeter
here are the readings
the watch shows 66 beats per minute and the oximeter show 65
that's not bad but let's see how it would cope with an increased heart rate
my wife had around 15 minutes on her stationary bike and we can measure her heart rate now
here's the reading
the watch shows 133 beats per minute and the medical device 129
but I'm not surprised because the body is still recovering from the exercise and also the wearables are typically not as accurate as medical grade devices
now let's check the blood oxygen saturation levels also known as spo2
again we will measure it against the medical device
here are the readings
98% on the watch and 99% on the oximeter
so I'm 99% happy with that :)
the watch can measure your stress levels by tracking your heart rate variability
while the accuracy of this measurement has not been scientifically confirmed
it can be a helpful tool for tracking your stress levels over time and identifying patterns that might be contributing to your stress
the noise feature measures the level of noise in your surroundings and displays the results in decibels
this can be helpful for protecting your hearing in loud environments such as concerts or construction sites
the ID208 has a built-in high quality microphone and speaker
so you can answer and make calls using a smartwatch
it's similar to the other smart watches with the Bluetooth calls
there's also a frequent contact list which allows you to add around 20 most frequently used contacts
as well as call history
the watch will also show you an incoming notifications and messages from your phone
so you can stay connected to SMS and app messages
it recognizes text from Facebook WhatsApp Instagram Twitter and many other apps so you never miss an important information
another major feature that also uses the built-in microphone and speaker is Alexa assistant
as you probably know Amazon Alexa on your smart which frees your hands from your phone:
ask questions, control music playback, check the weather, set the alarms and timers, just by speaking to your watch
[Alexa: alarm set for 7.30 a.m tomorrow]
so let's do some tests:
- Alexa, what is your favorite color?
- I like ultraviolet it glows with everything
- Alexa are you my friend?
- we're definitely friends but are we besties?
okay one more try:
- Alexa can you tell me a joke?
- knock knock. who's there? it's a. it's a who? it's a me, Mario!
the ID208 has a variety of other useful features including sleep monitoring
as it got a sleep tracker built in that automatically tracks your sleep quality, sleep time, light sleep, deep sleep awake time and REM sleep
it also provides a respiratory report showing the quality of your sleep based on your heart rate and the blood oxygen level
another feature - menstrual cycle tracking
the smartwatch has a menstrual cycle tracker that provides data predictions and reminders about menstrual periods
this feature can be set up via the companion app
the smartwatch has a sedentary reminder that reminds you to move your butt or stand up after a long period of sitting
I quite like it
there's also a water reminder that you can set to alert you to drink water
the watch has also a music control feature that allows you to control music playback on your phone
it also has a flashlight that can be used in low light conditions
the ID208BT has a 180 milliamp hours battery which can last up to 7 days on a single charge with normal use which includes tracking steps, heart rate and sleep
if you use the watch more intensively such as making calls and using Alexa assistant it might last three to five days
when the watch will be disconnected from Bluetooth it will last up to 20 days
this smartwatch is a great option for its price
it's easy to set up and use
has a comfortable strap
its water resistant and has a variety of features including sports tracking, health tracking, call and notification display, Alexa connectivity and a good battery life
however it doesn't have some of the extras of more expensive watches such as Apple Pay or Google Play
overall this is a good value for the price
but it's important to consider your needs and preferences before the purchase
okay guys that's it for today
