I was provided a Misfit Shine for free in order to facilitate this review, but all opinions here are my own!
Misfit Shine Review
A few weeks ago I received this Misfit Shine in the beautiful wine color, in the mail for review. I’ve always tried to stay conscious of the foods my family eats, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle as a busy mom. The Misfit Shine helped me take my healthy lifestyle to another level.
Shine is a new type of fitness tracker. It looks much like a fashionable piece of jewelry, instead of any health monitor. You can wear it on your wrist like a watch, clip it to your shirt or sneakers, or wear it around your neck with the Bloom Necklace. I’m all about being fashionable while staying in shape, so it really fits my lifestyle!
The Misfit Shine works in conjunction with your smart phone to track walking, running, biking, swimming, and sleeping. The app allows you to set and meet personal health goals and even interact with friends in the Shine community who have the Shine and app installed on their phone as well.
To sync the Shine with your phone, you simply pop the unit out of the band or clasp and place it on top of your phone while running the app. Double tap the Shine and you will see LED lights to let you know how close you are to reaching your goals for the day. I’m pretty good at reaching my walking goals since I’m so busy with the kids, but it’s a little harder to get as much sleep as I should. I have to work on that!
I prefer to wear the Shine on my wrist rather than clipped onto my clothes. It just feels more secure on my arm. Inside the Shine is a simple coin cell battery that lasts about 6 months, and it’s waterproof up to 50 meters. I’ve enjoyed testing out my Shine, and now it’s a part of my daily routine to set and check my fitness goals, and adjust accordingly.
The Misfit Shine retails at $99, comes in an array of colors, and can be purchased at misfitwearables.com or major retailers such as Target or Best Buy.
Do you use a fitness tracker? Have you heard of the Misfit Shine?
