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 tiny, sleek, and uniquely stylish, and tracks a good deal of activity. Out of all the trackers I've tried, I love the look of this the most -- it feels like I'm wearing a metallic stealth watch of the future. Shine is a glimpse into...

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 ...
