I would recommend completely charging it ahead of time, though. The entire process takes about 10 minutes. The first time you launch the app, you’re walked through the initial pairing, applying any new firmware updates, and then configuring your profile.
The tone function uses the Halo Band’s microphone to listen to your voice’s tone and document your emotional state throughout the day. The two key features that make Amazon Halo different from the other fitness trackers are “Body” and “Tone.” The body section takes a scan of your phone camera to take a 3D scan of your body and then calculates your body fat percentage. If you’re training for a marathon, the Amazon Halo isn’t for you. If you’re the type of person who wants to track your sleep, are moderately active with exercise, and want to track your heart rate, Amazon Halo will be an excellent product for you. So with an understanding of what Amazon Halo is not, let’s look at what it is: It’s a passive health and wellness tracker. The band lacks standard options like GPS, Wi-Fi, or a cellular connection.

It communicates via Bluetooth to the Amazon Halo app. The Halo Band consists of a sensor module and a band that clicks into it on top. One of the ways Amazon Halo differentiates itself is it has no screen. After an initial six-month period, Amazon Halo requires a $3.99 per month membership to keep using all of the advanced features. The purchase price is only one part of the investment, though. The Amazon Halo retails for $99, but it’s in “Early Access” for $64.99. Amazon announced the Halo in late August, and I was able to get one of the unit’s early releases. WHOOP has heavily advertised on podcasts throughout 2020, and its membership program has become very popular. Google purchased Fitbit in late 2019 to keep expanding into the wearables market. The Apple Watch is tightly integrated with the iPhone, so it makes a lot of sense for people who are heavily into the Apple ecosystem. In the daily fitness-tracking market, there are a few significant players at the moment: Apple Watch, Fitbit, WHOOP, and now Amazon with the Halo.
I’ve been wearing the Halo for the first month, and I am finally at a place where I understand what the product is and what it’s not. While Amazon sells several fitness items, it has not branched out into a first-party connected fitness device until the Amazon Halo. Amazon is relatively new to the health and wellness industry as a first-party product. After the first version focused on apps and communication, Apple pivoted in the following years toward the Apple Watch, becoming the ultimate fitness tracker by adding GPS, new workout types, ECG monitor, and much more. The health and wellness industry has been something Apple has been focusing on for several years with the Apple Watch. Nothing has changed of my opinion from the original review. Update: Amazon Halo is now available to purchase without requesting an invite.
