Misfit unveils the latest in wearable tech The Shine
Discreet, elegant and waterproof activity tracker to monitor physical activity
Misfit Wearables today announces its first product in the UK, the Misfit Shine, a beautiful wireless, physical activity tracker that can be worn anywhere on the body to track all physical activity throughout the day. Wear it on the wrist, a shoe, a belt or even a swimsuit, the Shine has the ability to recognise different sporting activities such as swimming, basketball, tennis and football and uses sensors to tell users how much they’ve moved. It also calculates calories burned, how many points have been earned towards a daily goal and the battery lasts a lengthy four months, so there’s no need for frequent charging. All of this and much more in a stunning slim and waterproof metal disc, the size of a 50 pence piece.
Bold design and swift syncing: The Misfit Shine is an elegant all-metal disc with a beautiful halo of lights to display progress throughout the day. Just download the MisFit Shine app and place the disc on the screen of an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch to sync, even if in airplane mode. Paired through Bluetooth, there are no buttons, no cables and most importantly, no frequent recharging – the MisFit Shine coin battery will last up to four months.
More than just step-counting: The Misfit Shine tracks cycling, swimming, tennis, basketball and football too, so users get more credit where credit is due. By simply tapping the Shine, users can see progress towards their daily activity goals or they can change their activity. The Shine allows users to set personalised goals, visualise data on the app, get insights on how they are doing and it even tells the time. Completely unobtrusive, it can even be worn when in bed to monitor how well users are sleeping, showing total hours down time and deep sleep patterns.
Wearable and waterproof tech: Only the size of a 50 pence piece, the Misfit Shine can be worn just about anywhere, and it’s fully waterproof too, for swimmers and those who want to keep tracking even when in the shower. Using either an attractive black watch strap, or magnetic loop, it can be worn on a wrist, shoe, ankle, bra strap, hip or it can easily be hidden away for users who don’t want it on show.
Strong and durable: The Misfit Shine is made to last a lifetime. Carved out of a solid block of aircraft-grade aluminum, it is super strong and compliments any outfit.
Availability: The Misfit Shine is available from the beginning of November from John Lewis for £99.95. It comes with a magnetic clasp so it can easily be attached to clothing, shoes or swimwear and a one-size-fits-all sports wristband for wearing around the wrist or ankle. The Misfit Shine App is available for free in the iTunes App Store, with new builds coming every three weeks.
