Amazon Halo
PROS Unobtrusive
design. Automatically
tracks activities and
workouts.
Comprehensive sleep
tracking. Features
workouts and
wellness programs.
CONS Requires a
subscription. No
screen or smartwatch
capabilities. Tone
analysis feature
drains battery life.
Doesn’t track
recovery.
BOTTOM LINE The
unassuming Amazon
Halo wristband works
with a membership-
based wellness
service that can help
you get active and
sleep better, but its
tone of voice and body
composition analysis
features are a bit
creepy.
