The Amazon Halo View is more affordable than most fitness trackers at $80. But you have to pay $4 per month after the first year to get most of its features. It’s a big improvement over its predecessor, which lacked a screen, but it still feels like Amazon is trying to figure out how to make its fitness offering stand apart from the competition.

    I bought a Fitbit Inspire 2 for my gf and she didn’t use it so I started using it instead of my Inspire HR. The Inspire 2 is trash and doesn’t start GPS monitored runs unless you allow the app to track your location 24/7. The HR allowed me to keep GPS off until I was going for a run. That’s the reason I’m probably going to buy something else asap.

      Fitbit’s also impossible to view when you’re outside. How are they going to sell an Activity tracker so dim you can’t see the watch face outside? Whenever I go for a run I have to cup my hand around the watch to see if I’m selecting Run correctly.

    How can you get the workout on a tv? These should be in your prime library.

      Don’t have it myself but definitely have a look at the MI Band 6. It looks great and is insanely cheap

    It doesn’t have Alexa support like the cheaper smarrbands like the Wyze band or Amazfit Band 5, etc which is off cause this is from Amazon

    It just doesn’t worth it, especially when there’s better and cheaper alternatives out there.

      It was on sale for a while at $50, pretty good imo

    I like the Original Halo vs this one, I like that it doesn’t have a screen as I use a smart watch as well

    I ordered this at the discounted price of less than $50. For that price tag and all that it includes, I’m perfectly fine with it. It will be great for the gym and work since I walk so much.

    Don’t know how I stopmed onto this. All in all Damn good video 🥇😎. I also have been watching those rather similar from MStarTutorials and kinda wonder how you guys create these vids. MStar Tutorials also had amazing information about similiar make money online things on his vids.
