<p>Amazon unveiled <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QK955LS" rel="nofollow">its first wearable[/url] on Thursday and it’s not what you think. Instead of a cheap smartwatch with Alexa, the Amazon Halo is a minimal wearable with no screen that’s designed to keep your body and your relationships healthy.</p><p>While the Halo connects to your smartphone, you won’t be using it to listen to music or get directions. It doesn’t have GPS or Wi-Fi or NFC. In fact, you won’t interact with it much at all. It has 50-meter water resistance so you can wear it while swimming and 7-day battery life so it can monitor your sleep at night. It has an optical heart-rate sensor for step and activity tracking. And like the Apple and Fitbit watches, the Halo also has a microphone.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3572922/amazons-new-halo-health-wearable-has-no-screen-and-a-steep-hill-to-climb.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
