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

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.

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...
