Amazon Halo or Apple Watch? Why not both?
I share my impressions of the Amazon Halo and Apple Watch in the latest edition of the HealthBiz podcast. Usually, I interview a guest but in this episode it's just me.I've gotten a lot of use out of the Watch over the past couple years and I'm not giving it up any time soon. But the Band adds some useful --and novel--- features, making it more of a complement than a substitute. I'm planning to keep wearing both.(January 3, 2021 Update: I have been asked about whether I've found a way to import Amazon Halo data into the Apple Health app. The answer is no. When I follow instructions from Apple to import data from other apps, Halo doesn't show up, which means it's unlikely to be compatible. I followed Amazon's instructions to download my Halo data. Theoretically I could enter it into Apple Health manually but that would be cumbersome and not likely to yield much. I am going to explore this topic further to see what I find and possibly write a new post or record a supplemental podcast.)The HealthBiz podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and many more services. Please consider rating the podcast on Apple Podcasts. Doing so helps the podcast reach more listeners.Check out the rough (AI generated) transcript of the episode.
