The Misfit Shine is an activity tracker that's big on style, but doesn't quite offer enough to shine above the advanced competition

It's clever, and works as prescribed to a point, but it somehow lacks the wow factor for our preferences.TechHive50Review: The Misfit Shine is gorgeous but dumbWhile it has garnered quite a bit of attention for its stylish design, the Misfit Shine could have used a little more focus on function. A good device that could be great, in its second version.TechRadar70Misfit Shine reviewRecording specific activities – even sleep – is tricky to execute, largely because it's hard to know whether Shine has received and processed the all-important triple-tap. What's the point in being waterproof if it's almost impossible to record a swim?TrustedReviews90Misfit Shine reviewIf 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.

Impulse buy really, but only because it works with Windows Phone 8.1 which the others don't do. I really like most of it and I don't know what the nregative reviewers were complaining of - they didn't even list it as having bluetooth, which it does. I've set it up to use as a watch and I'm thinking of getting rid of my traditional wrist watch. Displays the daily progress easily on the wrist, and if I want the details I just pull out my phone (I have it setup for background sync) and the data's there. And it doesn't need to be recharged every night like the others. The battery lasts for months. I got the leather watch band for it and it looks really presentable and very interesting. I've had some minor problems with the user interface on the phone, it seems to get confused between my target weight and my actual weight. Other than that little nit, it does what I want. I don't have to hold it particularly close to sync. It's in the same arm side as my mobile phone pocket and I don't do anything special. The data's just there when I want it. So far I like it, and hope it keeps on keeping on.Engadget Reader40October 13, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!A poor product that's more likely to be frustrating than useful. - EngadgetEngadget Reader100September 29, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!A gadget unicorn - EngadgetEngadget Reader80September 4, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!The Shine is cool, but a little less 'smart' than I had hoped. I like the device, and the proposition - syncing the Shine to the iphone is kinda fun, although doesn't always work first time. But I expected the app to be a lot 'deeper'. It seems like there is very limited ability to look into the data. Also its cool that sleeping is 'sensed' automatically ... but it seems to get it wrong on 'waking' - it regularly tracks me as being 'asleep' half an hour after I woke up, if I get out of bed and get back in again. When I used the edit function to correct the end of sleep phase, it did it, but then wiped the sleep data for the nights sleep. :-/Engadget Reader90February 12, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!I consider Misfit Shine the currently most durable activity tracker on the market. I used it more heavily than all the others since I took it with me when swimming and I have been washing it with soap basically whenever I was washing my hands. Apart from Withings Pulse and Fitbit Flex which I tried only for a few days, I used the following activity trackers (see my other reviews).6/2012-3/2013 Nike Fuelband, 2x replaced3/2013-1/2014 Jawbone, 3x replaced1/2014-8/2014 Misfit Shine, 1x replacedAs long as you get it replaced quickly and it's within warranty this is not a big problem for you. I wouldn't say my usage is rude. From my perspective the manufacturers underestimate the durability requirements to a device that you wear night and day.Engadget Reader100December 27, 2013Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!Easy set up, options for sport band or leather strap (not of the highest quality but acceptable as an alternative to the sport band), easy to access, waterproof is unique among these devices.Engadget Reader100November 23, 2013Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!A gadget unicorn - EngadgetEngadget Reader90November 17, 2013Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!Looks really great! The design is Apple'ish. A bit on the feminine side.Tap to interact is easy and the display is very geeky.
