Smart wearables have grown amazingly in importance within the past couple of years. They continue to offer a fast-expanding array of functions and services that helps to sustain healthy living and a decent fitness regimen. The fall detection feature of some current models has proven to be the difference between life and death for quite a growing number of users of these devices.
Amazon is gradually making inroads into the wearables space with its latest offerings of several fitness devices. The company has announced a new fitness band to go with several health services it will be offering its clientele who buy any of the devices. The new Halo View will square off with some current fitness models and is priced at $79.99. The Amazon Halo View comes with one-year free membership of Amazon Halo to enjoy the full width of fitness services available with the Halo View.
Amazon is also launching the fitness service which will provide workout videos and a nutrition service called Halo Nutrition. Some of the new service offerings are not unique, as some established heavy hitters in the segment like Apple have similar services.
The Halo View has a color AMOLED display and offers an array of several sensors for measuring various body functions including heart rate, blood oxygen level, sleep tracking, skin temperature, but will not come with a microphone system to gather voice data. Three color variants are available for the Halo View: black, green, and purple, with a variety of additional bands available in different colors and textures. The Halo View also offers up to 7 days of battery life and fast charging capability.
The Halo View and the accompanying services will be available from next quarter until early 2022, and there is a token fee for the membership of the Amazon Halo Nutrition service.
