Beautiful design, insanely long (6 month) battery life, can wear it almost anywhere on your body
Syncing the Shine to the app can take a few tries sometimes
The Misfit Shine costs around £79, cheaper than most fitness trackers. In my two weeks of using it I liked it much more than I thought it would. Because of its elegant design I didn't feel like a “geek” wearing it--as I normally do with other fitness trac...
There's a style, a quality to the Shine which really (and pardon the pun) shines through. It's a tough but svelte cookie that does the job with minimal fuss and intervention, delivering your daily activities in a clean and slick way. Plus, because it's on...
Abstract: The Shine Activity Monitor by Misfit is a tough, metallic, waterproof disc. The monitor measures and tracks your movements just as its competitors do, but – and this is a big deal – it can also be used for swimming and cycling. And it doesn't need recharg...

Abstract: Fitness wearables have gone from poorly designed rarities to must-have accessories in a matter of just a couple of years, and there’s no sign of their growth stopping just yet. The good news is that there’s something for everyone. The bad news is how are ...
The Misfit Shine is the best looking fitness tracker on the market. If you want something subtle that can blend in with your look, then it's a clear winner. We really liked the minimalist nature of it and the fact that carried through to the app and the...
It's clear that the Misfit Shine has been developed to help take the humble sensor-ridden wristband to a whole new level. As something to look at, it really works and we love its low-maintenance status too. However, there are problems. Recording specific...

If you want a good-looking gadget to inspire you to do more, especially in the pool, the Misfit Shine is a good bet. Just don't expect it to accurately measure distance or calories burned, or to be able to compete against other Shine users. Things could i...
The Shine is an attractive enough gizmo, and if you're curious about quantifying your level of activity - or your sleep patterns, it has its appeal. It's not a bad product, but why choose the £99.95 Shine when you can have, for instance, a Fitbit Flex fo...
news is that Misfit does plan to launch an Android app sometime soon, optimised for Google Nexus 4 and 5, Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S4 phones - though other Bluetooth 4.0 compatible Google gizmos may work too.Jawbone UP24: Brand new fitness band can start your coffee machine in the morning!Brand new Nike Smartwatch incoming next year!The bottom lineAll of the wristband fitness monitors we
At a little under £100, the Misfit Shine isn’t the cheapest fitness band on the market. Fitbit’s line of activity trackers start at around £35 for the Zip, hitting £70 for the Flex, and if you’re in need of something more sedate - a simple pedometer rather than a monitor for tracking lengths in the pool - they’re arguably a better bet.

All of the wristband fitness monitors we’ve seen so far have suffered from one flaw or another: one doesn’t show the time, another doesn’t work with Android, some are useless for cycling and swimming. So it’s refreshing to have a newcomer stroll right ...
