I love my misfit flash. It tracks great and the app is very informative. I got one for my son who is having sleep difficulties and I used it to show my doctor his sleep patterns etc. It was very helpful.
My Only problem is after 3 weeks of using watch band daily, the band began to crack. So I switched to the clip. The clip worked well until one day I didn't put it on securely and I popped it off somewhere and I haven't been able to find it. :(. I have ordered a SHINE with coupon to replace it and may decide to purchase a leather wrist band.

Best fitness tracker on a budget

I was shocked when I found out this fitness tracker was only $50. I tried out several others before settling on this one. For a basic fitness tracker, this packs in a lot of extras. It has automatic sleep tracking (i.e. no need to hit a button before going to bed and after waking up), and it is fully waterproof! I used to worry about getting other fitness trackers wet but not this one. However, I feel that the killer app for this tracker is its evaluation of your activity in terms of points. Most trackers simply count steps and gauge you on your step count. This one uses a point system where walking for 10,000 steps is equivalent to running for 30 minutes (which usually only nets about 6,000 steps). If you exercise hard for 30 to 45 minutes, you may not achieve 10,000 steps, but this fitness tracker will tell you that you accomplished your goal. Other reviewers pan this feature, but I feel it is the best thing about this device.

I use my misfit primarily for tracking sleep. Since using it I get more hours of restful sleep. I dont worry about not getting enough sleep and can adjust my actvities that serm to interferewithquality sleep. I found out that I actually sleep better than I thought I did and now even track my REM. This devuce is water resistant and doesnt need to be removed for showering. No charging to worry about. Great device.

I bought this for my nephew in black and because the price was so good I got this pink one for my niece, let's just say they loved it.
I love that the price is great and that it can be a watch or clip on it tracks time and it makes ya have to think. I love that it syncs to the iPod tracks sleep, and steps and can even use it to challenge friends and family to beat your steps GREAT GIFT I might buy one for myself.

I purchased the Flash double pack, one for me and my wife. Flash is very useful for tracking steps throughout the day and captures sleep times fairly accurately. I always wear it on my wrist after my wife lost her first one while wearing the clip on her pants. The battery on my Flash died 5 weeks after purchasing. Misfit sent me an email about my dead battery and set me up to receive a new one in the mail, for free! Purchased a replacement Flash for my wife as we like to compare daily steps and sleep.

I was looking for an activity tracker with similar finctionality as the Fitbit but with a lower cost. The misfit flash has fit the bill. It accurately tracks my steps taken and calories burned as well as my quality of sleep. The wristband is comfortable even with continual wear. This is a great product with an even better price point.

This is a pretty good tracker. I like that it is waterproof and that it automatically switches over to sleep mode. I think the app could use more info such as a better time graph for sleep periods. The data you get is very basic but it does work well. After about 2 months of use the band did break and let loose of the pebble, luckily I was kind of expecting it since I noticed earlier that morning it was split. After trying this tracker however, I did decide to purchase a different model with more features.

I got two of these for my boyfriend and myself and love them. The black one shows the lights the best and goes with everything. This is one of the cheapest and most reliable trackers on the market right now. It's been a month and the battery is still fully charged. Unlike all the other ones, you replace this battery about every six months. Has a wrist band and belt clip. Put this thing anywhere on your body and it tracks. Also tracks your sleep and how restful the sleep you are getting is!

Good starter product it has basic functions, it is a great value. Stay away from the Frost (white) it gets dirty VERY quickly and doesn't stay white for long. It does well with getting wet, I wear mine all the time even in the shower. It doesn't handle a fall very well, my wife's broke after a 3 foot fall. When you put it in the band it doesn't feel like it goes in all of the way but it does, my wife broke her band trying to force it in. Overall a great deal if you get it on sale.

Definitely does what it says and it seems to be just as accurate as the rest of them for the most part. It is consistent. Telling time takes getting used to and it doesn't tell the exact time, just at the five minute mark, which is good enough. Great for a basic tracker or to see if its something you would like to spend more money on. I love that it doesn't need charging.

If you're just thinking about starting to track your statistics when it comes to exercise, the Misfit Flash is a great starting point. While inexpensive, it tracks many activities and runs on a coin cell battery which can last you months. And it is fairly simple to understand and use. The few cons this device does have would be that you must have it paired to your phone in order to view all your fitness related information and it does feel "plasticky".

I like using this fitness tracker, especially since it does what it needs to do and the price is good. My only gripe about it is that the band breaks easily and the company only sells accessories for the Shine model, not the Flash model and while you can contact them to have them send you a new band, I managed to buy a band on Amazon that has not broken yet.

This activity tracker is great. The price is right. The battery is easily replaceable but be sure to sync your device before replacing it so that you don't lose any data. I would definitely recommend this product to a beginner who wants an activity tracker but doesn't want to spend $100.

I reviewed a lot of devices before purchasing this one as this was the first time I was buying one. The price was great and it was easy to set up. I am not thrilled with the button fastening and twice it has fallen off when I bumped something while out in public. Fortunately, I saw it on the ground and retrieved it. I only use the step and sleep tracking. My next purchase will include a heart monitor but this is great for starting out.

I bought the Flash primarily because is water proof. The fact that was on sale was a plus. It keeps acurate logs of my exercize. The app is sufficient for my needs. Once in a while there is a hiccup between the flas and the app and information gets lost. I can not figure out what the 2 moons mean in the sleep portion of the app. I have contacted misfit but they did not respond. It does what I want of it 95% of the time.

I really liked the Misfit. It's easy to set up, and pretty accurate. But it is not durable. I had it for a week before it stopped working. I dropped it one time when I was switching between the band and the clip, and it just stopped working. For the price, it was worth trying it out. But I was really disappointed with how long it lasted.

This is the third Flash I've bought after losing 2 others (one is probably somewhere in my house, the other fell off on a train) and I only got another because of the low price. It's a good fitness tracker to help motivate you to exercise (and I recently started using the sleep tracking function), if you can keep track of it!

I bought this knowing about the materials it is made with, the band broke within 10 days. The app is lacking in it features, fitbits is nicer and easier to use. I do like that I dont have to charge, I haven't tried to change the battery. And U can swim with it! Watch feature is different about 5 minutes of, though. Price was right.$60

Tracker is easy to use and for someone who is not interested in climbing Mount Everest or training for the Olympics, it has sufficient types of activity to track and feedback fields. Primarily, it serves as a motivational tool for me by providing feedback on progress toward goal attainment. I particularly like the fact that you can create a friends list and monitor their activity as well as your own.

I received the flash for Christmas and love how light and unassuming it is. I always forget I am wearing it, which is probably why I promptly lost the first one. Not to fear, I contacted customer service and, after confirming my purchase, they are sending me a replacement. The tracker itself is simple and provides interesting information. It isn't sensitive enough if you are tracking information for extreme training, but it does track steps and the general quality of sleep. I also received a much more expensive fitness tracker for Christmas and that one (which is worn on the wrist only) caused hand swelling and arm pain when worn over night and for extended periods. The flash matched the tracking of that tracker within 20 steps and it is much easier for me to wear. I highly recommend it for cost, ease of use, and definitely the customer service.
