    Good combination of old and new technology

    The Misfit Flash is a nice simple, forget that you have it on technology. Gives you the time of day when working out and activity level for the day. Great for team sports. Sleep function needs you access your phone before and after going to bed so it is not as user friendly as the other features of the tracker. The unit doesn't really snap into the wrist band which is kind of odd. The wrist band can and will break if you try to get it to fit snugly. But for under 50 bucks it gives me feedback in a way I would not have had otherwise.

    My first tracker so far, only gave 4 stars because bracelet broke within a month and turned out i had a defective unit currently awaiting replacement. While it was working it was great, easy to setup w iphone 5c, tracks steps and sleep very well and help keep me motivated.

    Defective Product

    DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. You will be severely disappointed. I bought mine for half off thinking it would be a good chance to see if I would even use a fitness tracker before I invested in a more expensive one. I did use mine every day but never put the device under water or "poorly handled it." After 27 days of gentle use, the plastic around the face of the device snapped in half rendering the wrist band completely useless. I am now beginning the process of returning the device for a refund but have heard it takes 3 weeks and they do not have telephone customer service.

    My wife went thru 2 bands. Both broke on the side after 2 weeks. Software is great. Also pretty accurate. If you can afford the shine get that. Only get this if you plan on not using the band.

    Defective After 1 Month

    I bought this item during a black Friday sale. Thought it would be good to know how far I walk each day and how well I sleep at night. It was easy to set-up work great for about a month and then stopped syncing. I contacted Misfit and went through all of their suggestions. After a couple of days of emailing they came to the conclusion that it is defective. They are willing to replace it at no cost. I haven't had it replaced yet but would almost rather have a refund. You get what you pay for. Misfit customer service is great and easy to get help from.

    I purchased this for my mother. She complains of it losing its sync here and there but overall she is satisfied. She loves that it tracks her sleep patterns and gives her daily goals on the app

    I have been using this for a week now. it is very simple and easy to use. Does not upload the data to any third party website. It is reliable so far. The good part is this is water proof.

    This is a good product for a beginner. It is easy to use and programs with your phone or tablet for easy viewing of your data. The band seems as though it will break easily (so far mine has not). Overall a decent product especially for the price.

    Great tracker for the money. Able to link up with most fitness apps via Bluetooth. Able to track HIIT fitness, running, walking, biking, swimming activities. Water proof too. I would like to see more watch accessories though. Overall great purchase.

    This is a decent basic fitness tracker and I like that it does track sleep as well as steps. The bank broke quickly on the first one that I purchased, so I'm not going to say the build quality is great. The bigger problem is that the Flash doesn't snap into the band, it just kind of sits there. It works okay as long as you have it firmly on your wrist, but when you take it off, it it doesn't stay in the band and it's difficult to get it lined up properly so you can tell time with it. Still, its not a bad basic tracker and you could probably get good at handling it if you used it for awhile. I returned it and ended up with with a Jawbone UP3 which I love!

    The Misfit flash was nice as long as it worked. It kept me inspired to exercise and it was nice to track sleep. One problem was that it kept falling off the sports band. Once in Costa Rica I almost lost it when the flash fell off the band into a garden. After some time it just stopped working. I did not try to change the battery but returned it to BestBuy for store credit. I was going to get another one but I had bought it on a sale and at the time I returned it the price had gone up and I did not feel like spending more money on it.

    Not as functional as other fitness trackers, but pretty inexpensive and it looks nice. It's useful that you can use it in different forms. We also bought a Blossom necklace to go with it.

    In the beginning I loved it and was ready to buy another one for my mom. Then about 26 days after purchase the band broke and the device would forget my progress halfway through the day, restarting me at 0. Usually it would find my previous progress again but not always. Started using the device with the clip and like that better. Have to check my foot throughout the day though because it has fallen off 2 or 3 times; most likely I didn't put it on well. Company did send me a new armband, quick turnaround. Would not recommend it to others right now. If they fix the band and the firmware issues this would be a fantastic device at any price.

    I have had several of the Misfits and mine and my wife's ALL had bands that Broke on the side. Seems to be a defect or weakness in the band somehow. But the Misfit unit itself is Good. I emailed Misfit support and they said they would replace the band. Be aware you may have the same band issue.

    It works well for what I bought it for, motivation for increasing my activity level and monitoring sleep. Unfortunately, within two weeks of purchase the band cracked around the area where you push the device in, but I was able to wear it for a few more weeks before it cracked through all together. I read afterward that this was the problem that many others had encountered. It was past the 30 return at the store, so I haven't attempted to get a replacement, although I would like one since it didn't last that long.

    I had bad luck with mine but she is really enjoying hers, though she hasn't gotten in the pool with it. Hopefully it will hold up. Color is great! This device synchs well with iPhone app and is easy to get set up and keeps you on track.

    The Flash itself does what it is supposed to. Simple and functional design that does exactly as advertised. The ONLY downfall is the band. The section holding the Flash broke in two places. Upgrade the band and it gets a 5.
