The fact that the Amazon Halo fitness band does not have a display is both a blessing and an annoyance for users. There is no way to check your weekly or monthly metrics without using the Amazon Halo app.
UPDATE: Amazon no longer supports Halo products, including the Halo Band, Halo View, and Halo Rise. Beginning on August 1, 2023, these products and the Amazon Halo app won’t work.

How to check Total Calories burned on Amazon Halo
The total calories consumed are not available on the Amazon Halo dashboard at first glance but you can drill into the dashboard to obtain this information.
This is a piece of metric that is often checked by most users, so it is surprising that the Halo Dashboard does not make it prominent.
Total calories as reported by the Amazon Halo app are an estimate of how much energy your body is using each day. Halo uses the basal metabolic rate (BMR) to calculate your total calories.
It calculates this based on your personal information such as age, sex, height, weight, and Heart rate.
- Start by tapping on the ‘Activity This week’ quadrant from the first tab.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and locate ‘Total Calories’
- On the top change the selection to ‘D’ for seeing the total calories for the day OR
- Change the selection to ‘This Week’. This shows you the average calories consumed for the week.
- When you tap on ‘Total Calories’ at the bottom of the screen, it then shows you the calories burned by each day for the week in the graph.
