My Experience.
I have a Halo View and love it. I was looking for a cheaper alternative to an Apple Watch or Google Pixel Watch and this met my needs. I have had it without issue for just about a year. It was something like $79.95, but I got it on a special they were running for around $50.
I have knocked the band off of it a couple of times when getting caught up on something, but have not broken it and never bothered to purchase any of the many other extra bands of different materials, colors, etc. that are available form various vendors.
It came with 2 years of the online services included. I have done some of the workouts, stretching, and they weren't bad.
One of the best parts compared to the bigger known competitors is that the battery lasts for days before needing to be charged.
I guess I need to start looking for what I'll use next. Maybe I'll simply go back to one of my regular watches that is recharged via solar and the battery lasts for years. We'll see.
BUT...NOW FOR THE BAD NEWS.
I received a notification from Amazon recently:
"Dear Halo customer,
Recently we notified customers that Amazon Halo devices and the Amazon Halo app will no longer be supported beginning August 1, 2023."
Never fun when products you like go by the wayside. Needless to say, the product is no longer available for purchase on Amazon.
The note went on to say that they were refunding my money from my original purchase, which they did, but I like the device and would have preferred they keep supporting it.
So if you were thinking about Amazon's Halo device you can take it off of your list.
