Amazon halo whoop10/18/2023 ![]() ![]() I also used the body fat percentage feature this morning. It was only the first night, so I'm interested in seeing whether that's an anomaly or a pattern. What I found interesting is that I fell asleep quickly (3 minutes, according to Halo), entered deep sleep repeatedly in the first three hours or so of sleeping, but then reached only light and REM sleep the rest of the evening. I would say that I normally sleep pretty well, going to bed at a reasonable hour nearly every night. On the first night, it scored my night's sleep as an 85. Obviously, this is not golf-related, but it might (possibly) spill over to on-course attitude. Why do I care about this feature? In particular, I want to monitor the difference when I'm speaking to my children at home. Not the most flattering, but it does seem to suggest that it's working. When I checked my Halo data after class, it characterized my speech samples as annoyed, stubborn, condescending, irritated, amused, and dismissive. I had a Zoom class last night, a discussion of a book that really frustrated me. In terms of data, I've kept Tone on so far, the feature in which the Halo monitors your speech and tells you the mood you're conveying. I do wish the Halo could be charged while being worn if you can get OCD with data collection (not wanting gaps) this might bother you as well. I switched the Halo to my right wrist within the first hour of getting it. But my main watch slides a bit on my wrist, and having the two devices tap into each other was going to drive me nuts. I'm a watch-wearer (a heavier metal watch) my initial intention was to wear the Halo on the same wrist with my watch, but further up my arm. It's very lightweight it's easy to put on and forget. So I pulled the trigger and my Halo arrived yesterday.įirst impressions: it's simple. But I'm not thrilled about connecting it to Amazon, which is obviously able to make things cheaper just through their scale. I myself want to know the data that the Halo collects. So what do you all say? I think a test and review of this device, especially from a health/golf point of view, would be awesome. While I see some interest in that, I also don't like active mics (I don't do Alexa, Siri, etc.). It is supposed to be monitoring your tone of voice, to tell you when you're being irritable. For me, this isn't about the merits of Amazon per se it's just that they're so big. The downside for me (careful, gents, as this could bring in a political/cultural angle that we need to steer clear of) is giving all that information to Amazon. With the Halo, the first six months are free, and after that, monitoring is $4/month. Whoop (I believe) is about $30/month for their service. Among the big factors for me over the Whoop: price. I'm definitely intrigued (which is why I signed up to be considered for early access in the first place). Today, I received an invitation for an early-access purchase of Amazon Halo, Amazon's competitor to the Whoop health monitoring band. ![]()
