Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Putting this thing on the charger is a nightmare; and you have to do it every other day. I’ve had it for two months & it still takes me at least 20 tries to get it on the charger correctly. It’s super annoying to take off. The Velcro on the band does not fit easily thru the loop & you need to press your arm into your body to hold it & use your hand to pull it. Annoying. It’s also super uncomfortable. Like, it hurts to wear. I’ve worn a smart watch every day for the last 6+ years so it’s not that I’m not used to wearing a device. I find it’s much better to wear it on the inside of my wrist rather than the outside. I wear it on the inside of my right wrist since I still wear my Apple Watch on my left. The sleep tracking is wildly inaccurate. It won’t know if you get up to go to the bathroom & get back into bed & lay awake for 2 hours because it doesn’t track disturbances less than 5 minutes long. So you can get up, grab a cup of coffee, sit down & be answering emails & it still thinks you’re sleeping. I wanted to love the Halo. I had to have it for two reasons, the first being it tracks how you sound to others, the second is it interacts/is endorsed by the WW app. So, it does keep track of how you sound to others. I don’t find it practical tho because it doesn’t tell you what you said. So if you check it at the end of the day it will say “At 3:15:21 today you sounded ecstatic. At 3:15:54 today you sounded scared” How in the heck am I supposed to know what I said at 3:15:21? I know we don’t want it recording what we’re saying, 24/7 but it only captures random things you say so it could at least capture that sentence so you know what you said. It also doesn’t kick all the info over to the WW app; sleep tracking the main one. You get daily points for tracking everything in the WW app but for some reason the sleep info doesn’t sync. And it won’t let me have my Apple watch AND the Halo connected so I miss those points. I am wearing it all the time (except in the shower) but only because I already paid for it & have the six months use of the app. I don’t recommend the Halo. Especially after having a Samsung Gear & then Apple watches for the last 6 years. I will say, the body scan thing is pretty cool. Just to look at, I mean. It doesn’t seem to serve a purpose other than to see progress. It doesn’t personalize workouts or meal plans or anything & it doesn’t integrate that info into WW app at all. It keeps track of your steps & heart rate, but so does my Apple Watch. I took a 75 minute speed walk & I had to manually enter in the walk in the Halo app. It tracked my steps (over 9000) but it didn’t know I did anything out of the ordinary. Overall I don’t recommend the Halo. If you have any questions I’ll try to answer them.
