Most fitness trackers these days go beyond just steps, calories and active minutes. Yes, they show you steps and heart rate along with calories burned, but they also let you reflect on your overall health and body based on hitting 150 points per week (à la the American Heart Association). This can also be adjusted depending on your own fitness and health goals and includes reminders to encourage you to get up and move if you’re stationary - similar to activity rings from the Apple Watch. This also matches the resistance and durability of nearly all Fitbit trackers.Īs we broke it down with Halo last year, Amazon deploys a point system for tracking your overall health - all now conveniently displayed on the new touch screen. We did, however, wear it in the rain and even showered with it, both resulting in no issues. The chillier temps in New York City kept us from testing the Halo View in a pool or the ocean, but it is swimproof and water-resistant up to 50 meters. We’ll circle back on this after a few more weeks of testing, though as it stands, it still falls short of the Fitbit Inspire 2, which offers a class-leading 10 days of use on one charge.

We’ll note that it sometimes took us a few tries to dock it successfully, though we got close to the promised seven full days of use on one charge, running out about 12 hours short. The View uses a proprietary charging clip and takes just over two hours for a full charge. A looser band resulted in some difficulties with blood oxygen monitoring. It was easy to get used to, though we did have some trouble getting it to snap around our wrist to properly situate the sensor.

Like the original Halo, the upgraded View is plenty comfortable on the wrist and again, extremely similar to the Fitbit Inspire 2. The pre-attached band comes in three colors: Active Black, Lavender Dream and Sage Green. It’s also home to pins for charging and two buttons for swapping bands. The rectangular hull holds a myriad of sensors for activity tracking, while the rear contains the main sensor array to measure heart rate and blood oxygen. The color screen also makes the View more engaging than that black-and-white display on the Fitbit 2. The Halo View is not reinventing the wheel with its thin, rectangular build and color touch screen center, though it is a departure from the screenless Halo band, putting it more in line with the popular Fitbit trackers.

While the Fitbit trackers hit a home run with all the core features out of the box, Halo View puts body scans, tone analysis, workouts, guides and recipes behind a paid yearly membership. How this compares: The Halo View is most like a Fitbit Inspire 2 or Charge 5, with a sporty, slim rectangular design, highlighted with a color screen - an improvement over the black-and-white screen on the Inspire 2.

It also packs in all the expected features like heart rate, blood oxygen and activity tracking, and you’ll get the membership free for a year. What you need to know: The Halo View ditches the creepy and controversial onboard microphones of the original Halo band and opts for a device that’s similar to competing fitness trackers. It’s simple, efficient and boasts advanced health features with the Halo membership. Who this is for: The Amazon Halo View will appeal to anyone looking for a lower-cost Fitbit alternative. It’s not the best leaderboard integration, but, it’s the only one currently available.Your CNN account Log in to your CNN account That’s right, you can see how you stack up globally in various metrics. Oh, and that’s another bonus of the tracker, there’s actually a leaderboard feature. Please use your Xbox Gamertag instead, even when the API is back to working at full strength. Note, if you try to scan your Steam ID it will not work. However, those who it has already scanned can be seen in the leaderboard section. That way it makes the connections between your tracker and Xbox live account much easier.Īt the time of writing, there seems to be an API issue from the tracker’s end, causing some accounts it has not already scanned to not load. Moreso, we highly recommend logging into your Microsoft account and connecting the tracker app to your account.

If you want to keep tabs on that information, you can head over to Halo Tracker.
