I did experience a few issues when I wasn’t there, when it instead tracked my wife’s sleep, despite her being on the other side of the bed. But as mentioned, the trends seemed to be more or less in line with each other. There were some minor differences in some of the trends, and I found that the Halo Rise usually said that I got more deep sleep than my Apple Watch did. Still, despite this, I found that the data was mostly in line with what my Apple Watch Series 8 also tracked. Because of that, you generally shouldn’t take what it says as completely accurate, but you can generally rest assured that the tracker works the same from night to night, so you can get a good picture of your trends. It’s really difficult to tell how accurate sleep trackers are, and the Rise is no different. Generally, I found the data tracked by the Halo Rise to be relatively helpful. I often wake up before my alarm, so it’s not necessarily a feature that I used every morning - but I did like it when I did use it. You’ll set your wakeup time in the app, after which the tracker will slowly wake you up with the orange light bar at the top, which illuminates more and more as you get close to your wakeup time. The Halo Rise also doubles as an alarm clock, and I liked this feature a lot.

For some, it may be worth the money - considering the fact that, as far as subscriptions go, it’s relatively inexpensive. Through it, you’ll get a suite of other tools, like workout videos, and if you have other Halo trackers, you’ll also get things like body composition, movement scores, and more. The membership is free for the first six months, after which it comes at $3.99 per month. There are other features that can be accessed through a membership. That can be pretty helpful - as it means that the Halo can, in turn, give you recommendations for ways to improve your sleep. Things like the temperature, humidity, and ambient light, all inform your sleep - and they’re all things that the Halo Rise tracks.

Using all this data, the tracker gives you an overall score (from 0 to 100) in the morning, and shows you data about your night’s sleep. Using a combination of machine learning and the aforementioned radar sensor, the Rise is able to track when you fell asleep, how long you were asleep, and your sleep stages during the night. Overall, the Halo Rise is a pretty great sleep tracker, which works with a well-designed and easy-to-use app. Of course, the reasons to buy the Halo Rise have little to do with the basic design - and much more to do with the sleep-tracking features. It should still look fine on most people’s nightstands, though. It’s not a bad-looking device by any means, but the plastic can feel slightly cheap to me at times. Stretched along the round top are also orange LED lights - which illuminate in the morning in the lead-up to your wake up time, and are designed to wake you up more naturally. At the bottom of the head of the device can be found the light, faint clock - which is nicely visible at night without being too bright. The front is what you’ll actually look at most.
