A light 38-gram calling watch with Alexa on the wrist, a sharp 1.83-inch screen, 24/7 heart rate, SpO2 and stress tracking and 110+ sports modes, all run from the VeryFit app.
The IDW26 packs a calling watch and Alexa into a case that weighs just 38 grams. The 1.83-inch touchscreen has softly rounded corners, a sharp 360 × 440 resolution on the LODIMEKE versions, and more than 100 watch faces in the VeryFit app. Wrists from 5.9 to 8.5 inches around are covered by the strap.
Low weight counts for more than you would guess. A watch that disappears on the wrist stays on through the night for sleep tracking and during a yoga class, where a heavier slab gets taken off and forgotten.
What the IDW26 does from the wrist:
Text replies are not supported, and the watch does not play music by itself. Music control means it acts as a remote for whatever is playing on the phone.
A flashlight, a silent alarm, a stopwatch, a timer and a find-phone button handle the small daily jobs. The menus run in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.
Two makers build the IDW26, LODIMEKE and Cillso, and together they offer five colour and strap bundles.

Stress tracking is the IDW26's everyday coach. The watch reads stress levels around the clock, and when the number climbs, a guided breathing exercise is a tap away. A minute of slow breathing between meetings is a small habit that pays back in calmer evenings and better sleep.
The rest of the health set supports the same routine:
For training, VeryFit lists 110+ sports modes, among them running, walking, hiking, badminton, basketball, boating, climbing, cycling, football, swimming and yoga. Running and walking are recognised automatically, so an unplanned jog still gets logged with steps, distance and calories.
Step counting has a built-in filter. The watch starts recording only after about 10 continuous steps and ignores simple movements such as pushing a shopping trolley. A daily total then reflects real walking.
Heart rate, blood oxygen and stress figures support wellness habits and are not medical measurements. How much weight to give such readings is weighed up in the FitPro smart watch review.
The VeryFit charts show the week at a glance, so the days stand out when stress and short sleep arrive together.
The IDW26 has to be charged before its first use: the charge activates it. After that, everything runs through the free VeryFit app on Android 6.0+ or iOS 9.0+ phones; the violet two-strap bundle asks for Android 8.0+ or iOS 13.0+. Tablets and computers are not supported.
Raise-to-wake works with a wrist flip rather than a lift. Turn your wrist toward you, as if checking the time, and the screen lights. If it feels slow, updating the firmware through VeryFit is the recommended fix. Detailed operating instructions also live in the app, under the device's how-to-use section and the help FAQ.
Silent alarm mode sits under the settings for sounds and vibration, useful for waking early without disturbing anyone else in the room.
For deeper VeryFit help, the app guide and the connection guide cover permissions and dropped links.
All five IDW26 bundles share the same 1.83-inch screen, Alexa, calling and VeryFit app. LODIMEKE's versions come in Pinkish Beige with one strap, a beige-and-pink two-strap set, and a violet set with a woven nylon strap. Cillso offers black and dusty pink, with a 320 × 385 screen and a stated 1.5-hour charge.
| Watch | Screen | Weight or size | Water |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDW26 | 1.83-inch | 38 g | IP68 |
| Yoever IDW20 | 1.91-inch | Larger case, rotating crown | IP68 |
| IDW25 | 1.83-inch | Square case | IP68 |
| ID208 Plus | 1.8-inch | Square case | 3ATM |
The Yoever IDW20 suits someone who wants a bigger screen and a crown for menus, and carries a 5-year warranty. The IDW25 is a close sibling that also runs on VeryFit with Alexa and calls. The ID208 Plus trades IP68 for a 3ATM rating.
Before choosing an IDW26 bundle, run through this list:
The two-strap bundles are worth a look for anyone who trains most days. Silicone handles sweat and water; the woven nylon on the violet set breathes better on warm evenings and at night, but is best kept dry. Swapping between them takes seconds, since the 22mm straps are quick-release.
Colour is a personal call, yet it also hints at the maker: the beige, pink and violet sets are LODIMEKE's, the black and dusty pink are Cillso's. That matters mostly for swimming and for which screen resolution you get.
For a light, all-day Alexa watch that tracks stress as well as steps, the IDW26 is a comfortable choice.
VeryFit, free on Android 6.0+ and iOS 9.0+; the violet two-strap bundle needs Android 8.0+ or iOS 13.0+.
Press and hold the button or tap the Alexa icon, then speak; sign in to Alexa through the app first.
It is IP68 rated. LODIMEKE versions are rated for swimming, while Cillso versions are not; none should go in hot baths, saunas or diving.
Raise-to-wake responds to a wrist flip toward you. If it lags, update the firmware through VeryFit.
Up to 7 days of normal use, 20 days in power-saving mode and 30 days on standby.
