Average products...................................

I returned it is not compatible with iOS Apple products

As someone with a desk job, it is nice to know what sort of activity level I have been getting on a daily basis. The Misfit Flash itself is very simple. You press a button and can get an indicator as to how much you've been running around so far during the day, followed by the time (to the nearest five minutes). All data must be synced with your phone in order to see details, however, the level of detail is very shallow. The sleep tracking functionality is really neat thing to track as well.

The device itself is a small plastic disk. I can't decide if it looks cheap or it looks techno, but either way it works quite well. It does a good job tracking activity, measuring nighttime sleep, and telling you if you're moving enough during the day to meet your activity goals. It does it effectively and unobtrusively and more accurately than devices that cost much more. It also provides a basic watch functionality which is also nice. The app gives good information and seems to balance "points" well based on the nature of the activities it's tracking. If sleep tracking is important note the auto sleep detection doesn't seem to capture naps during the day but the tradeoff of automation is probably worth it for most people. It also support activity tagging, for people who care about such things and wish to monitor activity more precisely. Officially only the higher end "Shine" model works with Windows Phone, but I've paired the Flash with both Windows 8.1 and Android phones and it works fine with both. And of course, iOS is also supported. Basic tracking plus sleep and a watch, no smart watch functions, and it's not as fancy looking as the twice-as-expensive Shine model, but it works very well and is definitely worth a look at the price point.

Excellent & inexpensive. Automatically tracks sleep & activities. You can wear it swimming & it will track that too! I've really pushed it as I figured I could afford to replace it if it broke, but it hasn't. I swim with it constantly, wear it water skiing, in the lake, on the beach. The clip that I hook it to my swimsuit with holds great. You don't have to charge it & it tells you a week before the battery need replaced! Need one about every 6 months. Excellent customer service too!

I bought one of these on sale and the band broke on my first one the third day I had it, so I returned it and got another. The second one has been okay so far. I like being able to see how active I've been that day and how much restful sleep I've gotten. Just be careful with the band. I think it could be more durable, but for the price, it's not bad.

I purchased this in store. They price matched with Amazon ($25). I've been using it for 4 weeks now. I bought on for my wife and my brother in law. My wife had been using it for 3 weeks. This had been great for the price. Pro: Cheap Point system Different activity select capability Automated activity and sleep tracker Watch battery, no recharging needed (Batteries cost very little# Syncs with IOs great #iPhone 6# Cons: Plasticky #Well, for the price, what more can you expect?# Has a little leakage if you wear on your wrist, and simple movement sometimes counts as steps. So I take 10/15% as leakage on a daily basis# My research shows that most complaints from users are that they lost it #well, grow up#. They couldn't sync #Smart phones may not be for you#, the band broke #I've wearing it for 4 weeks, run, played soccer and very active. Band is still intact). I and my wife set a goal. We meet it every day. On a busy day, we accumulate lots of points, and don't need to do much extra. But on a slow day, we make sure we do something to make up the deficit. That’s how this tracker helps us with our fitness. I hope my review helps.

I got the device, it started up easy, synced well with the app on my phone, is comfortable to wear, the red leds are great and easy to see. The device itself looks nice but the band looks cheesy. I wore it constantly for a day and a half (slept in it over night) and they boom the ring around the device itself snaps and the device comes falling out. Don't be tempted to buy from misfit directly, their customer service stinks. Good that I bought it online through Best Buy and took it back to the local store no problem. I was willing to try with another but they had none in stock so they issued a refund. When they get some in stock I might try again.

I bought it as a gift for my sister-in-law and she loves it, she was most impressed by the sleep tracking, and she likes that you dont have to charge it, but she said she's considering swapping it for the shine as the shine has more carry options and is more visually appealing.

I like it. It is easy to use and I like that it tells time too. However it is NOT waterproof. Maybe for a shower or wadhin dishes, but NOT in the pool. I have had two of these die after a single swim in the pool. I am disapointed to say the least. If not advertised as waterproof, I would be quite pleased.

Really this review would be a 5 star review, however since this is a newer product it is not without bugs. I personally have the Misfit Shine and expected the experience with the Flash to be the same. It has for the most part been the same, but some bugs we have encountered, occasional disconnects from syncing which require the flash the pressed until its lights run in a circle and then pressed again till the lights run in a circle once more. After that it syncs fine again, but for a new user this becomes very worrysome thinking it has not tracked your activity. We have also had a strange occurrence where it just stopped auto-tracking sleep and a few days later started again. So again yes it is a nice, and a much more affordable price to own a Misfit Wearables product, but be ready for some bugs to happen till they update something.

I really like how simple the Misfit Flash is overall. I was disappointed that the lights for the pink flash are red. I figured they would be white like the picture but oh well. I had a shine in the past but it caused a skin irritation so I'm very happy they came out with the flash. It is plasticy and I am hoping they come out with more bands. I have read reviews that the bands break easily so extra bands would be a plus. My favorite feature is that I NEVER have to charge this band!!!! Everything with this band is automatic. The only thing I have to do it press the button to see what time and what my progress is! It even goes into sleep mode automatically. It's pretty great!

This is a cheap way to fo learn if you enjoy wearing a fitness tracker every day. It comes with a sports wrist band and a plastic clip that can be attached to a shoe while running or work under your clothes. I found it comfortable attached to an undershirt and it isn't noticeable even in dress clothes. Tracking is slightly more accurate wearing on your wrist but I would recommend upgrading to the alumnium Misfit Shine product if you plan on wearing on the wrist for aesthetic reasons. Occasional syncing issues with the iOS app made me knock a star off the review but the app is fairly stable and has some basic food tracking options caked in as well. Overall a good fitness tracker and built in smart button ability and integration with IF is a plus.

Last year, when I realized there was such a thing as a 'sleep monitor', I really really wanted one. So what did I do? I bought my husband a Fitbit! He didn't catch the hint. I kept my eye out - looking for deals but really, I hate to spend money on myself. However, when shopping on Black Friday, my husband came up and said, here you go. And what was it? A Misfit! I thought - hmm - a watch without a face? Seriously? But wow...it is GREAT! I love the look of it to be honest. But I really love tracking my sleep. I'm not a huge workout person but I love finding out how many steps I've taken. And, it's got me wanting to make the 'whole circle' light up with dots so I've actually been exercising - walking - going up and down the stairs over and over. And don't you know? I've lost 9 pounds without really trying since I've gotten the Misfit? And that's over Christmas with tons of cookies and baked goods. It's just that I'm more aware of things now that I'm wearing it all the time. I see some people are complaining about the band but I've had it for more than a month and it is fine. It is rubber/plastic like all bands tend to be lately. Disney FastPass Plus bands are the same type of material. Meanwhile, hubby's Fitbit was recalled - and he ended up getting a Samsung to use with his phone for eight times what we paid for this misfit. And this does EVERYTHING I need to do - even though I didn't know I needed it! Plus, it makes me very aware of my sleep patterns. I know now why I'm tired when I wake up. I don't quit moving all night! (Hubby had said that but I like seeing it confirmed.) Get one of these. They're great! I'm getting them for our kids, too. It will be nice to know when they're complaining about practice, how bad it actually was!

it does its job, it tracks with accuracy but i lost the tracker from its own wrist band on the first 2 weeks. for the price should have better quality than that. i wont buy another to replace it, i will go for different brand. this pebble fell from the band so many times, until finally got lost. I purchased directly from best buy because i usually got good quality products and good warranties, but this tracker was a waste of my money. I paid 49.99 for it.

this a great tracker, especially for the price point, but the band is a total piece of garbage. I've broken my second band, I have yet to have one last more than 4 days. The tracker does stay in the band, which makes it easy to lose. I'd love to recommend this product, but until they come out with an upgraded band like they did for the Shine it's just not going to be usable.

The device itself is pretty good, it tracks steps and sleep well, but the strap broke within two weeks.
