Smal, with slee, minimalist desig, Tracks slee, Comfortable to wear
Doesn't track as much data as other fitness devices
The $119 Misfit Shine is a very good fitness tracker for those who don't want to look like they're wearing one. However, the $99 Withings Pulse is a better option for the more athletically inclined; it's even lighter and tracks more data, such as your ...

If there's any one category of app-enabled accessories that's seen the most widespread acceptance among iPhone users, it would be fitness tracking devices. Thanks at least in part to its placement in Apple Stores, Jawbone's UP was one of the first commerc...

Sleek and attractive, looks more like jewelry than tech, Very comfortable and easy to wear
Tracks activity via vague "Shine points", Tapping mechanism is frustrating, Not perfectly accurate
The Shine is an elegant, attractive activity monitor that will make you rethink activity monitors. It's easy to wear—I haven't taken it off since I put it on—it's water resistant, it doesn't require charging, and did I mention that it's gorgeous? Plus, i...
Best looking activity tracker we've tested. Includes clip and wristband mounts. Functions as a watch. Fully waterproof for swimmers.
Limited data analysis. No integration with other services. No Web app. No syncing between iOS and Android apps. Dashboard lacks weight-tracking and calorie-counting
The Misfit Shine is an activity tracker that's big on style and great for those who swim for exercise. It doesn't quite offer enough to shine above the advanced competition, however....

The Misfit Shine fitness tracker has a sharp design, is compatible with a variety of wearable accessories, and lasts four months on a single battery; it's also waterproof and can be used for swimming
Minimal design doesn't display detailed data on the device, currently only works with iOS, needs to be held close to phone screen to sync, currently has a closed app ecosystem
The Shine's one of the most stylish and futuristic-looking wireless fitness trackers out there, but you're trading in extra versatility for minimalist style.
Abstract: The Misfit Shine brings some much-needed style to the fitness tracker market. Constructed from aircraft-grade aluminium, it looks more like a piece of fancy jewelry, and comes with accessories to wear it on your wrist and clip it to your clothing. An opti...
Four month battery life, Elegant design, Clasp and wristband included, Waterproof
Easy to forget, Confusing watchface, Slow sync, Poor activity logging
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...
