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. That said

The Misfit Shine is very impressive; it is innovative and intelligently designed. Hardcore trainers may find it too simple and prefer a more intricate device, but it makes a very good casual activity tracker. The price, however, is anything other than cas...
