Amazon Halo View Features

Here, the Amazon Halo membership offers several features like nutrition, fitness modes, programs, workouts, and more. Going into the details, the new Amazon Halo View fitness tracker flaunts an AMOLED display and is resistant to dust and water. In fact, this fitness track is swim-proof with water-resistant certification of up to 50 meters.

The Amazon Halo View fitness tracker packs several sensors onboard, including activity tracking, sleep score, blood-oxygen (SpO2) levels, and live workout tracking. Additionally, it packs a skin temperature monitor and an accelerometer. The Amazon Halo View gives activity points, sleep scores, and so on to users.

Like most fitness trackers, the Amazon Halo View can be paired with your smartphone via Bluetooth. Users can get notifications right on their fitness band, but there's no mention of responding to these notifications.

Amazon Halo View Specifications: Setting Apart From Competition

Amazon has ventured into the hardware segment with Echo devices. Now, the new Amazon Halo View smart tracker is the latest addition. One of the features that make this fitness tracker unique is its ability to measure body fat percentage. This feature was also introduced with the first-gen Amazon Halo via the Halo app.

Buyers of the Amazon Halo View fitness track also get to explore more via the Halo Nutrition and the Halo Fitness apps. And more importantly, the Amazon Halo View claims to last up to seven days on a single charge and takes less than 90 minutes to full recharge. These are sure plus points that make it a strong rival to bands from Fitbit and other companies.
