Amazon Halo: The Fitness Gadget We Don't Deserve or Need

 



Amazon frequently forges its way into new kinds of tech, with tablets, ereaders, smart speakers, headphones, TVs, and lots of smart home products, and now it's launched a fitness tracker too: meet the Amazon Halo.



The Amazon Halo is a lightweight fitness band that collects your health data so you can analyze and track patterns, adding another notch to Amazon's ecosystem of smart products.


Design

  • The Halo is made of a fabric band
  •  sort-of 'body' for the Halo, where sensor that will be gathering all your health data from you
  • The Amazon Halo doesn't have a screen - you'll have to interact with it via a smartphone or tablet app
  •  pretty sleek device
  •  Water resistant up to 50 meters and it's swim proof


 Fitness Features

The Amazon Halo has plenty of the fitness features you'd expect to find on a standard tracker - there's in-depth sleep tracking, sedentary time warnings, and activity tracking. 

The Halo can measure your body composition and body fat percentage, and with the app it can even make a digital 3D model of you.

It's measure your voice to detect tone - with this it can apparently track 'energy and positivity', and the app can chastise you for sounding too negative 



According to Amazon, the Halo has two days of battery life - but this shoots up to seven days if you deactivate voice tone recognition. The company says the band takes 90 minutes to charge to full.

Membership



To get access to most of the Amazon Halo's cool features, you need to pay membership. This membership is free for six months when you buy the band, but then it will start to cost you.

The Amazon Halo isn't useless if you don't pay membership - without it, the band still tracks your steps, monitors your heart rate, and provides you with a basic level of sleep tracking
