The Misfit Shine doesn\u2019t look like a fitness tracker. For some, this may be a good thing but others often think of a fitness tracker like a status symbol so they like to wear theirs with pride.<\/p>\n

\"Misfit<\/p>\n

For me, the bit I like most about the Misfit Shine is the clock. YES THERE\u2019S A CLOCK! As someone who doesn\u2019t wear a watch, it\u2019s amazing having one that\u2019s also combined into a fitness tracker. The Misfit Shine is essentially a round, matt piece of technology with 12 tiny lights around the edge, making up a clock. By tapping twice, it lights up your progress for the day (which you can set in the Settings \u2013 I\u2019ve set mine to 10,000 steps a day) and then it shows the time. When I say it shows the time \u2013 it lights up to signify the hour and then the minutes. It\u2019s awesome.<\/p>\n

It also monitors your sleep too. Without you needing to do anything \u2013 so there\u2019s no fiddling around with one tap, two taps or a little finger tap dance on your monitor (you know the ones, right?) leaving you frustrated and angry by the time you finally get round to getting to sleep. I\u2019m getting all het up just thinking about it. With the Shine, you can just drift off to sleep\u2026 And then sync your phone the next morning to find out how you\u2019ve slept.<\/p>\n

One issue that the Misfit Shine also doesn\u2019t have is the need to recharge it. I initially thought it would be more annoying to have a battery but you know what? It\u2019s not. It\u2019s amazing. I\u2019ve listened to friends so many times complain about how they\u2019ve discovered they\u2019ve been walking their legs off only to realise their fitness tracker was out of batter and therefore not even counting their steps. Ha.<\/p>\n

Syncing the tracker is also easy. All you have to do is place the tracker on the app as indicated on your phone and tap. It syncs and you\u2019re ready to go!<\/p>\n

There are some annoying elements to the Shine, however. Because the tracker slots into your bracelet, held in place by the ridge that runs around the circumference, it can fall out. I\u2019d heard this happening to other people. And then it happened to me. I came out of the underground and a few minutes later realized that where my teal Misfit Shine once sat, there was just a hole to my bare skin. All I\u2019d say is LOOK AFTER IT. (I had to get a new one, of course but it still pained me). The Misfit Shine has to be removable \u2013 part of its appeal is that it can also be attached to another type of strap.<\/p>\n

Accuracy-wise, I don\u2019t think it scores too highly. But then again, I\u2019m strangely less concerned with accuracy \u2013 my reasons for having a fitness tracker are to ensure I\u2019m more active than I\u2019d normally be. I\u2019ll admit, there are some days when I\u2019m working from home where I\u2019m glued to my laptop and I barely leave the house. It\u2019s days like those where my Misfit Shine really come in handy.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a lowdown on the pros and cons of the Misfit Shine: <\/strong><\/h5>\n

Pros:<\/strong> Doubles up as a watch, doesn\u2019t look like a fitness tracker, automatically records sleep, uses a battery rather than recharges<\/p>\n

Cons:<\/strong> Device can slip from it\u2019s bracelet, doesn\u2019t sync up to as many apps as some other fitness trackers do although it has all the main ones, less of a community feel than others. It also seems to scratch easily – or I’m just a klutz.<\/p>\n

I have to say I did find it hard to come up with cons \u2013 my main one is the fact that it can slip from the bracelet.<\/p>\n

\nWho\u2019s it for?<\/strong>\u00a0Anyone who wants a classy reminder to be more active<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
