I've owned the Flash for a couple weeks now. No issues yet with band quality or with the unit falling out. I do see, however how that might be possible, as many have complained. Here is my brief assessment.
- Accuracy: so I go running a few times a week. It has been cold lately, so a few runs have been on a treadmill. With activity mode on, and set to running, the mileage matches the treadmill either perfectly, or within a tenth of a mile. Now that's a treadmill mile (a discussion for another day). I ran with it outdoors on a hilly road with a gps watch on my other wrist. I have come to highly trust the gps unit for 10 years, being far more accurate than any phone or app that I have tried. The Flash unit, again matches the gps with shocking accuracy. All it knows about me is height and weight, not my stride, leg length, or armswing distances. Perhaps I'm exceedingly average. I once returned a fitbit within a month because I could not get it even close to any other measuring device at my disposal.
- Sleep track: again, not sure what wizardry they put in this thing, but it seems to never fail with sleep and awake times. Even a 10-minute wee hour diaper changing is reported as awake for the appropriate duration. *I do wish that it reported sleep patterns with better terminology, like rem and such, but maybe misfit shied away from medical terms for liability reasons.
- Timepiece: I've seen reviews that rip apart this feature. By default it shows activity progress towards your set goal first, then the time. This order is reversible in the app. Which is how I have it set. The time readout takes a bit to get used to, but nothing cosmic. One press, then you have your time displayed in a second, with precision of 2.5 minutes (only displays hours, and minutes at the five minute mark). This is the second major complaint of the time function that I have read about (first being that it occurs after the progress meter). I find that for purposes of this device I rarely require time more precise than the fives. This is perfectly acceptable to me.
- Price: I paid $100 for the very basic fitbit (which I returned) and it was very high maintenance. I mean, how do you get accurate whole-day activity tracking when it's on the charger everyday? (Sorry for the rant). The Flash I picked up at a retail store, not an overseas web store, on sale for $15. FIFTEEN BUCKS. After my dismal experience with the fitbit, I didn't have a ton of hope for the Flash, but for that price, I figured it was worth a trial. Not disappointed.
- App compatibility: I have the Flash synched with a few apps such as runkeeper, myfitnesspal, and others. It seems to not yet be compatible with more native services like Google fit, or Samsung S Health. This seems to be an opportunity missed. But there are plenty of alternatives. The diet losgs of the working apps sync back to the misfit app, as well, giving a more rounded picture of health within the misfit app.
I think the accessories could use some better, more secure design, if only for confidence that you won't lose the thing. But overall I am very pleased with the unit, and find myself relying on it considerably.

the product is good, however, I had some problems with them not recording all of my steps. I had to return them both twice before I got good ones to use. It's pretty basic and doesn't measure heart rate like other devices in this category, but am happy with it overall, my friends and I can see each others progress daily and have fun with it.

I gave my last purchase of the shine and flash a 5 star review, however after a couple of weeks wearing my new flash it is not tagging my workouts like it is suppose to. I think it may be due to the new upgrade of the app, so I am having to edit all my workouts in the app. Hopefully a new app upgrade will come out to fix this. I still love the misfit products and hope they come out with one that has a heart rate monitor.

This tracker was working great when I first bought it. Three weeks later it stopped responding to me pushing then center to tell the time and stopped tracking my steps/activity. Not only that I took it back to Best Buy and they refused to refund my money!! So not only will I never buy another Msfit product I will also never shop at Best Buy again!!!
