This is because according to a report from CNBC, they have been notified by Amazon that they will be issuing an update to its Echo Buds where it will be able to help users track their workouts. Earphones that track workouts aren’t new, but it’s nice to see the addition to the Echo Buds for those who already have it.
Granted, it might not necessarily have the same depth of features compared to a dedicated fitness tracker or a smartwatch, but if you’re just looking for basic tracking and don’t really need all that extra stuff, then this should be more than enough to get the job done. The update to the Echo Buds will allow users to track things like the duration of their workouts, the number of steps you take, calories burned, how fast you walk/run, and so on.
Like we said, these are pretty standard features you might expect from a fitness tracker, but if that’s all you need, then you might want to consider the Echo Buds.
