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
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...

Abstract: It's inevitable, 2014 will be the year of the wearable tech. Towards the end of 2013 there were already dozens of products on the market which could be worn or attached to your body, from the likes of the notorious Google Glass, to numerous fitness and pe...
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...

At a little under £100, the Misfit Shine isn’t the cheapest fitness band on the market.

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 ...

No altimeter, Sometimes inaccurate, App currently iOS only, Sleep monitoring a little poor
If you're looking for a fully-functional and completely waterproof fitness tracker, the Misfit Shine is a great choice, especially for the fashion conscious. The lengthy battery life just sweetens the deal....

You'll know whether or not a band on your wrist that glows is good enough to motivate you and Shine doesn't promise or offer anything new here compared to the competition. If anything it somewhat lacks the "in your face" appeal of the Nike FuelBand...

Abstract: I've tested dozens of these wrist gadgets, but I've never bought one for myself. Now, I think, it's time. But which one? The Apple Watch? A Fitbit thing?I decided to conduct a little reality-show competition on my arm. I resolved...
Abstract: The Misfit Shine Activity Monitor uses a three-axis accelerometer to track motion to create a fitness and sleep profile. Because it only uses an accelerometer, sleep and calories burned are estimates rather than exact data. It is not a dedicated sleep-tra...
