There are two opt-in features though that I found to be kind of creepy. It didn’t happen again, but it was an annoying and confusing hiccup nonetheless. I enabled cloud syncing in the app settings, hoping that would lessen the chance of that happening again. After that doing that, the Halo app had forgotten my data and needed to pair with the View a second time, which wasn’t possible until I factory reset the View.
After toying with it for a few hours, I happened to reboot my smartphone. One major problem I ran into with the app happened soon after the initial setup. When I plugged it in, it reached 88% in one hour, which was fast enough for me. The first time I recharged it, the battery had dropped to 28% after wearing it nonstop for four and a half days with a light-to-moderate amount of interaction. Note: The View doesn’t offer ECG tests or GPS functions as some other bands do.Īmazon claims the battery can last up to seven days on a single charge with minimal usage, and I found that to be mostly true. For this and other features, I didn’t have the equipment to test for accuracy, but generally, the data seemed to jive with what I was feeling. It can also check your blood oxygen level, though not passively-you have to run a test and stand completely still for the duration. It was one of my goals with this band to learn whether or not my activity levels were good enough against the amount of sitting I do at work, and that score helped me achieve that goal. The View can track your heart rate, steps, calories burned, sedentary time, calculate a nightly sleep score (after syncing with the app), and generate a weekly “activity score.” It figures that based on your steps and exercise sessions, minus some points for sedentary time. As long as they aren’t completely ugly, I’m usually fine with defaults. Personally, I don’t mind this, as I’m pretty utilitarian about my tech. You have eleven choices, and only a few look very different from the others.
If you like the idea of customizing your watchface, though, prepare to be underwhelmed.
