Comfortable, Cheap compared to rivals, Battery life, Versatile ways to wear
Looks cheap, Made from plastic, No proper display, Sleep monitoring isn’t great
The Flash is a good fitness tracker, comfortable and functional. However, I do not think I would buy it at the RRP. Its drawbacks are in terms of material quality, with a plastic and basic look and feel. However, if you can get your hands on it for £35 or...
Small and subtle, colourful, cheap, app is great, six-month battery life, Spotify integration
Design looks cheap, accuracy not brilliant, device interface frustrating to use, no high-end GPS/heart-rate features
The Misfit Flash is a tricky activity tracker to place, one that we think is best for beginners on a budget. It is cheap, cheerful and small enough to go unnoticed, but on the other side of the coin its accuracy isn't to sniper standards. For basic...

Abstract: GETTYAs we've just scoffed our way through Christmas, many of us will be suffering from a bit of festive flab.Sadly, it's now boring January and for many Brits it's time to get back to a more healthy way of life.So, if you've just started your fitness pla...
I've enjoyed my time with the Misfit Flash, and I'm going to continue using it, however I'd hesitate to recommend it over some of its rivals, including the Fitbit One, which sits at the top of our activity tracker chart. For £50, though, it's got a decent...

The Misfit Flash is waterproof, lasts six months on a single battery, comes with a wristband and clip-on accessory, works with iOS and Android, and tracks steps and sleep
Lacks a heart rate monitor; plastic design feels a little cheap; LED readout shows daily progress and blinks hours and minutes, but doesn't show step count
The Misfit Flash is a versatile, easy-to-use and extremely affordable fitness tracker that can be worn swimming, too, and it even kind of works as a watch....
Abstract: The Misfit Flash is the latest in a sea of fitness trackers and wearables, but this tiny titan stands out for its sheer simplicity and price. Just like the Misfit Shine before it, you won't find a display of any form packed in here to bring your battery l...

Exceptional battery life, Fantastic price, Not just a step counter
Light on usable data, Not exactly chic, Strap still extremely flimsy
The Misfit Flash's excellent array of features at a great price shows why you shouldn't need to pay over £50 for a basic activity tracker. While the design and build are still far from perfect, and the analysis of your daily activity has a way to go, Misf...
Abstract: Other than price, the main difference between Shine and Flash is the material of which it's made and the color of its LEDs. Shine is an extremely slick device made out of aluminum. Flash is also pretty slick, but it's made out of plastic, which isn't a ba...
Discreet, Button is much more responsive, Six, month battery life (again), Very affordable
Not quite as beautiful as the Shine, Still lacks some of its rivals' features
It's pretty simple, really: people want wearable tech to be something they want to be seen wearing. And yet if you look a lot of what's on offer in this burgeoning category right now, you'd think a lot of people skipped that class. Misfit was one of the c...
