Misfit Shine Activity Tracker tracks your activity in style

misfit-activity-trackerAn activity tracker is not something that everyone would want to get, or think that they need it, but when you pass one to them for them to use, they might ask themselves why didn’t they pick one up all this time before? Of course, once a particular device gets more and more famous and commonplace, functionality is just as important as its aesthetics. The £99.99 Misfit Shine Activity Tracker that comes in black and grey shades has been touted to be the “world’s most stylish physical activity monitor”, where it has been precision-crafted from aerospace grade aluminium and boasts the capability of measuring your walking, running, swimming, cycling and sleep patterns.

Don’t be put off by its name though, as this is definitely not a misfit at all in the larger scheme of things. It is capable of synchronizing sans wires with your iPhone to track steps, calories, distance, and is also water resistant up to 50 metres, so fret not if you are going to go swimming or just frolicking around the beach. All that is required to chart your progress in a day would be to give it a simple tap, where a circle of a dozen small lights will glow gently, letting you know how you’re getting on. You can place the Misfit Shine Activity Tracker on your iPhone display in order to have its data synchronized via Bluetooth, while the app would let you set goals and access data such as your own performance stats, trends and insights. A single standard replaceable CR2032 battery ought to be able to last you up to 4 months.

Misfit Shine Wireless Physical Activity Tracker

Misfit Wearables has just announced the Misfit Shine, what is touted to be a wireless physical activity tracker. Boasting a bold design, the Misfit Shine comes in the form of an elegant all-metal disc alongside a beautiful halo of lights. All you need to do is place it on an iPhone and it will synchronize itself, even when it is in airplane mode. There are no buttons, cables, Bluetooth pairing, and recharging to bog yourself down with. Not only that, the Misfit Shine is no glorified pedometer, as it will also be able to track cycling and swimming activities to give you physical exercise credit where credit is due. Tap on it to check out your daily activity goal, and how well you have fared to date.

Measuring a wee bit larger than a quarter, the Misfit Shine is so flexible it can be worn just about anywhere. It does not matter if you want to mount it on your wrist, shoe, ankle, bra, hip, as a broach – anything works. Since it is made out of a solid block of aircraft-grade aluminum, it ought to last the distance, and being waterproof is another plus point we cannot stress enough. The Misfit Shine will arrive in spring of 2013 for $99 a pop, with early adopters’ units shipping in March. [Press Release]
