On the one hand, Amazon clearly put a lot of effort into catering to those just starting out on their fitness journey. At the same time, it’s missing some basic metrics from workouts, Halo Fitness is tough to navigate, and I’d be shocked if a beginner felt at all encouraged by the 3D body fat models. The tragedy is Amazon could’ve easily built a simple, affordable tracker and left it at that. Instead, it had to get weird about it.

If you're already committed to Apple's or Fitbit's ecosystem, Amazon's offerings aren't convincing enough to switch. It feels like Amazon is still figuring out how it's going to make its approach stand out in an already crowded space. The Halo View and Amazon's recent additions to its Halo service are a step in that direction, but we're not quite there just yet.

The $79 Amazon Halo View is an average fitness tracker, but access to the maturing Halo wellness service makes it a more attractive wearable.
