The big deal is the inclusion of the Halo membership.

Most importantly, it can still tell you if you sound sarcastic.Īnd what a surprise, the Amazon Halo (opens in new tab) is "temporarily out of stock" at the moment. It is also swim-proof with up to seven days of battery life.

The Halo View does feature an optical sensor to monitor heart rate and blood oxygen, a skin temperature sensor and an accelerometer. If I'm 100% honest, I'm not sure adding a screen to the Halo was a good move from Amazon: the Halo View doesn't look all that impressive on the press photos and if anything, it makes the Halo View look cheap. That said, at $79.99, the Halo View is competitively priced and features an AMOLED colour display with haptic feedback. It looks just like any other cheap fitness tracker you can find at Amazon but with a Fitbit-like strap. I completely understand why most people would be more interested in new hardware than new software announcements, but Halo View (opens in new tab) is not that remarkable.
