Rogbid's new fitness band launches as an affordable alternative to Whoop and Amazfit Helio Strap, with 40-day battery life

Rogbid has just brought its newest screenless fitness tracker to the market, dubbed the Halo Band. The wearable weighs just 22 grams (silicone strap+head) and comes with a slim profile. It continuously tracks heart rate, blood oxygen (SpO₂), blood pressure, and sleep patterns while supporting multiple sport modes. The accompanying app provides GPS route tracking for runners. It has an IP68 waterproof rating and boasts an unusually long 40-day battery life. The Halo Band is priced at $49.99, including four interchangeable straps in nylon and silicone across various colors.

When comparing the Halo Band, it is important to look at other screenless fitness wearables rather than general smartwatches with displays. For example, the Whoop band (specifically the Whoop 5.0) provides deep workout and recovery insights and is worn on the wrist or bicep, but requires an ongoing subscription and costs way more over time. The subscription can average about $480 over two years. Other popular screenless options include the Oura Ring (curr. $349 on Amazon), which tracks a wide range of biometric data with a minimal form factor but costs around $350-400 (plus a monthly subscription). Biostrap EVO gets you clinical-grade sensor data and long-term wellness monitoring for around $200 without a mandatory subscription.

Compared to these, the Rogbid Halo Band trades some of the high-end medical or recovery-focused features for an aggressively low price, simple usability, and long battery life. It should suit users looking specifically for core health metrics and exercise tracking without the complexity, cost, or dependency on subscriptions prevalent in competitors.
