The Halo View has hit the streets. Here's a look at both the View and its unobtrusive sibling, the Halo Band Via ForbesVetted
The first thing you're likely to notice about the Halo Band is that it doesn’t look much like a fitness tracker—without any kind of display, you could just as easily be wearing a fabric bracelet. All your interactions with the Halo happen on the mobile app, which is where you mostly assess your stats with any fitness band anyway. You can get it in three color combos—rose gold with a pink band, silver with a gray band or black on black—and comes in three sizes.
You also get a sleep score, which includes details like how long you slept and how long it took you to fall asleep, as well as a body scan that tells you your body fat percentage. Perhaps the Halo’s most intriguing feature, though, is its Tone tracker.
Amazon also treats the Halo Band like a Peloton on your wrist; the cost of the device is actually divided between the $100 sale price and an ongoing subscription. You get six months free with purchase, but after that you’ll need to pay $4 per month. If you opt not to subscribe, you’ll still get access to the band’s basic step count and heart rate features, but the subscription opens up access to all the detailed activity and sleep tracking info.
One big difference: If you don’t expect that you’ll use the voice tone feature very much, you’ll appreciate that Amazon removed the microphones—so no Tone. You end up with about a week of battery life as well.
