Amazon’s new Halo View fitness band seems a lot less creepy than last year.
Amazon Halo View looks like a decent fitness tracker, but it’s included subscription service might be the biggest draw. Subscribe to CNET: Like us on Facebook: Follow us on Twitter: Follow us on Instagram: Follow us on TikTok:

@CometStrike46 87 Yeah that one is good too, it has a longer/larger AMOLED screen but no Alexa like Amazfit Band 5, I’d say wait for the Amazfit Band 6 which releasing very soon alongside new Amazfit smartwatches

Thanks for this video. I plan to purchase a fitness tracker around Thanksgiving. Although I am a subscriber to this channel, I will stay in contact more often because I can’t rely on YouTube to send me a notification when a new video is uploaded.

My children and their partners are ” middle aged ‘. Will this or others, work as a mini sleep study, measuring how often you may or may not stop breathing during the evening? My son wears a BIPAP in the evening ( which I only found out during a family visit he made from California to the deep South about eight months back.
Will this address some of the middle aged concerns that my children should have but I seem to be not much better than when they were 4 instead of in their 40″s.
I’m also curious for my grandchildren, all whom are extremely involved in their choice of sports, requiring for one of them an average of 6 hours of practice daily 6 days per week. The other two are a bit less daily practice but weekend and out of town burns their energy.
I’m just an Italian mother and grandmother whom seems to over worry with thoughts of ” what if “.
My goal is to find something for each of them ( if they don’t have a current model ) to track their bodies relationship to stress, proper sleep and how often they contact me. Well, okay, perhaps I’m willing to sacrifice the last one on my list if I can get all the other features)
I’m up for suggestions ( as long as you don’t demean me for my concerns) as to if you think this would fit the basic concern I have that will also alert them when they may be pushing the envelope.
Thanks so very much, I really enjoy my notifications when I am alerted that you have a review or warning on products that are above my pay grade.
CNET has been my go too for several, if not more, years !
You would never know that I worked for Intel in Sunnyvale, starting in the early 70’s. Those days are gone. Now it’s VPN”s and making a decisions of which of those are the best for me needs, like a health monitor worn as a watch.
Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated, just play by the rules of the Boy or Girl Scouts and be nice please. Thank you all.

This is not about anyone’s health this is about selling a subscription service.

Just another bland plastic tracker from a company that wants to sell you the world. No thanks, I think the best of a bad bunch is Fitbit, Ill stick with that for a while longer. Also, AMAZON! classically rather liberal with their privacy policies
