This Amazon Halo Prime Day deal is absolutely heavenly

Prime Day is the best time of year to score big savings on fitness trackers and health wearables, and it happens that one of the best Amazon device deals is on just such a wearable. This deal on the Amazon Halo fitness band is one that you're not going to want to pass up. Right now, Prime members can save $30 on one of the most innovative and interesting wearables around.

If you haven't yet heard about the Amazon Halo, you're probably not alone! It was sort of introduced under the radar last fall, and it hasn't yet gotten quite the attention that more recognizable fitnes tracker brands like Fitbit, Garmin, or even Whoop have. However, just because the Halo is the new kid on the block, doesn't mean that you should ignore it.

Amazon Halo | $30 off at Amazon

The Amazon Halo might not look like much at first glance, but it packs a lot of powerful health and wellness tech for such a subtle strap. Track all the basics like steps, heart rate, and sleep, enjoy guided workouts and meditations through the Halo subscription service, and even evaluate your body composition and communication habits.

$70 at Amazon

This unassuming little tracker hides beneath a soft nylon band, with no screens or notifications to distract you throughout your day. It can measure all of the basic health and fitness metrics that you'd expect, like steps, heart rate, and sleep habits, but it's capable of so much more.

There is a microphone on the side of the device, for starters, but it's not there for issuing commands to Alexa or dictating voice messages. However, if you enable the Tone feature within the Halo app, the band can periodically listen to your speech patterns throughout the day and send you private assessments of your tone in verbal interactions with others. This can help you better understand how you come across in conversation to make any necessary adjustments to improve future interpersonal interactions.

The other interesting feature that the Halo offers is a body composition analysis. Working with the Halo app and your smartphone camera, the band can very accurately measure your body composition to give you a fuller picture of your physical health, as well as giving you guidance on how to achieve your ideal body weight safely. Of course, Amazon has built-in several safeguards to ensure that the data and scans are safe and that people don't abuse this information, but you can also decide not to use it if you're not comfortable with it. Be sure to read our in-depth Halo review for more information on the Tone and body composition analysis features.

The Tone, body composition analysis, and guided fitness, sleep, nutrition, and wellness sessions are part of the Halo subscription, which is $4 per month; however, Amazon is giving new Halo customers the first six months free. Plus, Amazon continually adds features to the subscription, like Halle Berry's re-pin classes and Movement Health analysis.

The hidden cost of food delivery

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
