The Halo Band's stainless steel case, by comparison, comes in black, rose gold, or silver. Regardless of band color, the Halo View's plastic case only comes in black. That said, I barely notice either model on my wrist. The switch to a plastic case means that it's also lighter, at 0.40 versus 0.63 ounces. Measuring 1.84 by 0.75 by 0.47 inches (LWH), the Halo View's case is slightly narrower and taller than the original model's (1.64 by 0.84 by 0.41 inches). Left to right: Halo Band, Halo View, Fitbit Inspire 2 Smaller and Lighter It also comes with a one-year Fitbit Premium subscription, which gives you access to audio and video workouts from brands such as barre3, Gaiam's Yoga Studio, and obé, as well as meditations from third parties such as Aura, Breethe, and Ten Percent Happier. The Inspire 2 costs more upfront and sports a black-and-white display, but offers more functionality without a membership, including detailed activity, exercise, and sleep metrics. Just keep in mind that, unlike the Inspire 2, the Halo View requires a Halo Membership to use most of its features, including the body composition analysis, live tone of voice analysis (which I detail in my Halo Band review), and movement health metrics. ![]() But its screenless design means you have to open its companion app whenever you want to view your metrics.Īt $79.99, the Halo View looks a lot like the Fibit Inspire 2, but costs $20 less. The original is meant to be unobtrusive, so it won't distract you during the day or at night. The difference is the case material: The Band uses stainless steel, while the View uses plastic. Amazon says the two wearables offer different experiences, depending on your preferences. You might be wondering why the screenless version costs more. Meanwhile, the original Halo Band remains on sale for $99.99 and still comes with a six-month trial Halo Membership as opposed to the twelve months you get with the View. Of course, you can also use the screen for checking the time, like a watch. The Halo View features a small color AMOLED touch display on which you can view metrics like your heart rate, sleep score, SpO2 level, and workout stats without turning to the companion app on your phone. Halo Band (and Fitbit Inspire 2)įollowing the Halo Band's release last summer, Amazon heard the same piece of feedback from many users, myself included: they wanted a screen. Still, if you're on a tight budget or just starting on a path toward better health, the Halo View is a terrific value. That said, the Halo View isn’t as accurate as the $99 Fitbit Inspire 2, and its companion workout-streaming service falls short of Apple Fitness+. And it's better than its predecessor, the Halo Band, in almost every way: It has a display, costs less, and comes with a free year of premium Halo Membership (up from six months). The Halo View can measure your activity, blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), heart rate, sleep, and skin temperature, while its companion app offers tons of features to help you improve your results. ![]() If you need some motivation to get active, but don't want to spend big bucks on a fitness tracker you're not sure you'll stick with, Amazon's $79.99 Halo View might be just what you're looking for. ![]() ![]() Total population** : Total Population from the 2020 Census.

Yet to completely uncover the final key to solving this mystery of meaning, a comma needs to be placed after the word “merry.” Therefore, in modern English, the first line of “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” should read “God make you mighty, gentlemen.” Using this translation, the old carol suddenly makes perfect sense, as does the most common saying of the holidays, “Merry Christmas.” The word rest in “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” simply means keep or make. This is due to another word that has a much different meaning in today’s world and a lost punctuation mark. Ye means you, but even when translated to “God rest you mighty gentlemen,” the song still makes very little sense. ![]() So when the English carolers of the Victorian era sang, “merry gentlemen,” they meant great or mighty men. ![]() Thus, in the Middle Ages, a strong army was a merry army, a great singer was a merry singer, and a mighty ruler was a merry ruler.
