Customer Ratings & Reviews

I first bought the Flash when it was very new, about 3 years ago. I wanted to lose weight, but I need to know some stats on my activity level in order to progress. When I bought the Flash is was Black Friday and I got it for 1/2 price, which is close to the price it goes for now. I wore it for a few weeks, but was unimpressed and so moved on to a big name brand that cost $100. While I liked it, I eventually lost it, and $100 was a lot to replace. The company gave me a deal on a refurb and I bought that. Both of them were clip on style which I really wasn't liking much. I moved on to their $130 wrist band model and I was happier with that. However, a month past the warranty and the band cracked. I returned to the Misfit Flash because if it broke or got lost it wasn't so hard to afford to replace. In the meantime, I realized that the Flash told me all the info that I wanted after all, I just had to sync w/ my smartphone. But the biggest thing that I like, is that I can shower with the Flash, and couldn't with the others. I want to wear my tracker all the time, including showering and sleeping. It's very comfortable and I barely know that I am wearing it. So my philosophy on activity trackers is that I want one that I will wear 24/7 which to me is what makes sense. I leave telling time and getting notifications to my smartwatch, which I take off when around the house and when sleeping. They're too big and not as comfortable to wear anyway.

I can link it to MyFitnessPal as well as the Misfit app on my smart phone. Tracks sleep (#hrs deep sleep and light sleep) and activity. But don't expect to easily use this as a watch. Supposedly you can tell time with little lights that point to the hour and minute but I don't think it ever changed for daylight savings - if it did, I could not tell. It's not remotely usable as a watch. But I didn't buy it for that purpose anyway. Can't go wrong at this price!

READ this...I know there are complaints about broken bands. BUT, I learned that this company has the BEST customer service I've ever encountered. First, they sent me an email saying my Misfit Flash was registering that it was losing battery charge. So, I sent them my address and they sent me THREE replacement batteries. After wearing my Misfit Flash every single day - never taking it off - even in baths and swimming - the band broke. I went to their webpage - looked for customer service - told them my issue and they sent me a new band. FREE. So now, close to a year later, I've noticed a small air bubble on the face of my Misfit. Again, contacted the company and they are sending me a FREE replacement. What company do you know of that would do this? It's AMAZING! Love my Misfit and love this company!! It tracks my sleep - it tracks walking, swimming, running, just about anything ... it's really an incredible piece of technology. For the price? AMAZING!

Pros: Looks cute, and I could wear it on my ankle when I didn't want to wear it on my wrist. and... it was super cheap. The sleep sounds are fantastic, and I used them daily. Tracks steps perfectly. Cons: The first time I wore this swimming, it stopped working... So essentially it lasted from mid april until the beginning of June. I did not wear it hard, or every day... So I'm going to assume that the swimming was the culprit... even though its advertised as waterproof. Also, I work night shift, and I would never track my sleep, even if I adjusted my normal sleep hours in the settings. I emailed the company, no response. In short, buy something else.

Overall this tracker is the best there is. Its cheap, functional, waterproof, and looks nice. My wife loves it...enough said. This thing was cheap, allows her to swim without taking it off, shows the time, syncs flawlessly to her phone, lightweight. My only complaint would be the method of hold the tracker in place in the wristband. It feels a little cheap, but has held up well. Only thing it doesn't do is heart rate monitoring, but not a huge deal. Would definitely buy this exact model again over the current ones out.

I kept loosing my UP MOVEs and the problem of syncing UP MOVE with my LG G3 finally and the battery drain got me to ditch the product. With the latest version of Android app and the firmware (updated when I started the app), the manual sync (suit me just fine as it don't waste battery) works without any problem. The calorie report is a little bit confusing as it include basal metabloc rate and account for activity intensity. Comparing to the UP MOVE, it has the features I want (auto sleep measurement, waterprorf, progress, time) and it is weak in features i don't use (food consumption, guidance, social networks). In short, this is a nice no-frill activity tracker that concentrating on tracking activities.

I bought two of these and both straps broke off. It works great for tracking all the activities for which I could give a 5 star. However, it's not worth $50 because the strap material isn't durable.

I read reviews but I don't remember the ones about broken bands. I bought the Misfit Flash-the reviews were good. I wanted something that would count my swimming efforts too. I put this on and wore it constantly, never removing it or messing with it. On day fourteen the disc holder part/band broke. I returned it to store and kept my disc -that was already synced and had my data-but replaced the band. Without counting the days -but less than 2 weeks- this disc/holder band has broken too. At this point the disc has less than 30 days used on it and I'm down 2 bands. I didn't mind syncing it to update my information. I liked that I could swim, be in water and everything else and not pay it much mind. I'm not boxing or MMA'ing, nothing rough at all, little contact that would cause a break andI am not even going to consider the Shine with a better band. I haven't read the reviews so I don't know how good it is. I am returning this one for refund and looking for a suitable replacement. I didn't need a great expensive one because I run on the same tracks, streets and swim in the same pool. I just wanted a no frills one that works. I did like the sleep monitor part of it too. One time it didn't sync for sleeping but the next day it returned.

I LOVED my Misfit Flash! I wore it 24/7, even in the shower. It really motivated me to workout more and watch my steps and calorie burn increase. Well, the first (and only) time I wore it in the pool was the last time it worked. I tried drying it out, taking the battery out and dry it as well, and nothing. Luckily, I caught it on sale for $15, so I'm not too upset. I'm giving the product another try, but with the Speedo Shine this time. Fingers crossed...!

I bought misfit devices for myself and gifted two for my family members. The flash is not as functional with this app. It freezes a lot and doesn't sync my workout a decent amount of time. One of the reasons why my brother doesn't like using his misfit flash. I don't usually leave comments but it has been frustrating using the app. Also I had a problem with the spotify functionality and customer support responded at a decent amount of time. Hence the 2 stars. However, I had already done everything they had told me on their instructions so it may have been a glitch on their system (the app). I also had a probable with the sports band. I ripped two very easily so it was flimsy. Out of frustration, I contacted customer support. They promised to replace both. I received only one we I was supposed to get two and the one they sent me was defective. Contacted them and I received one band that was good. I was very disappointed with the misfit flash. My brother uses his older Nike workout band over the misfit because he liked that one better. I spent over $150 for all three and the only one I have first hand experiment with doesn't function too well. I am not sure if people are having the same issue with the misfit shine but I'm hesitant to consider it because of my experience with the flash. I may have gotten too excited about the product by buying three close to when it first came out.

I purchased this product in early January. By February 1st, the wrist band had broken in half. I really loathe the waist band clip so I'm not using my Misfit anymore and am researching (and listening to reviews!) other options. I really liked it, while it lasted. It didn't fall short on any of the capabilities I knew it had. I would HIGHLY recommend you spend your money elsewhere!

The misfit activity tracker did not work well for me. It did not calibrate correctly and I suspect I got in fewer steps than the device tracked. While the wrist strap fit ok, I was worried that the actual device would fall out and I could not get it to fit snugly into the clip on accessory. It did not track well for my swimming. The app was very basic. And one day, after just having had it one month, the battery went out. I returned it to the store.

I love this tracker, it does everything I hoped it would! The downside is that the wristband is really cheap and will not hold the misfit in place properly. Every time you push on it to see your progress it pops out of the wristband, and after 3 weeks my band snapped in half. Also I would not buy the white/frost color again, because you cannot see the progress lights when you are outside or in a bright place and it gets dirty looking with gentle use.

Use it to track my activities at work and home. Also doubles as a watch which is another plus! You can also track your progress when you wear it.

However! I bought it on the 14th and it is now no longer working as of midnight on the 21st. Also! Buyer be warned, the flash does not have the ability to track naps yet. It only auto tracks your sleep if you fall asleep between 8pm and 5 am. Not handy. They will be adding that feature, and the shine ALREADY does it. Now, my unit's probably just defective, so here's how handy this thing is. It comes with a wristband that's really kind of annoying plastic but not too bad, it feels yucky if you get it sweaty. The clip is decent also. It's a pretty good tracker for the price, I just wish mine worked.

I purchased this on Friday night, 1/30. By Tuesday the ring in the wrist band broke causing the flash to dislodge. I decided to wear the flash with the clip attachment until I would be able to return it on the weekend. I wore the flash with the clip accessory for a day and a half until the clip slipped off unbeknownst to me. I contacted Misfit Thursday evening and although I got a nice e-mail saying they'd get back with me "shortly," this is Saturday morning and I've yet to hear anything else from them. I will try to return to BestBuy, I guess, but I'm assuming I'll only receive a partial refund since I'm missing the flash and the clip. All I have to return is a broken wristband with the box and very inadequate instructions. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY like I did. P.S. I gave it one star only because BestBuy would not allow me to keep it blank.

I purchased this item for my wife and she is having a fun time using it. A co-worker of hers' mentioned about her and her husband having success. We had a issue with it, but MISFIT helped us out and enjoy the feedback. That was a plus for us because I would not endorse a product if a company would not help the consumer purchasing. We later purchased one for me to use in the pool.

I also have a Moto 360 smartwatch. So this was refreshing to have something less complex. I got 5 of these little things (family for Christmas) and while they are a cool pedometer and sleep tracker, you can lose it really easily. I had it on clipped to my jeans pocket at work last Sunday, got home and found out that it fell off at some point.

Absolutely loved my flash!! I literally would brag about it and would try to show it off to everyone! but than after like a week and a half the strap broke like others! I was so sad!!! I tried the clip but I don't like it I love the strap! Now I am debating either to buy a new one and try it out again or go with a different brand.

I absolutely loved my Misfit Flash for the 2 weeks it lasted. After that, the band broke. I was very disappointed. My sister & brother in law both had Misfits, too, and their bands broke within a week of their purchases. Skip this product & go for a Fitbit.
