    I first bought the pink one went swimming and yep it broke went dead. Best buy replaced it - next one the stap broke- really?? I love it but best buy gonna think something's wrong when I keep coming back - but once again they replaced it - got the next one splash on by my kids snd it broke three times three different flashes - and best buy replaced it - I will not use it best water ever this is not waterproof a little bit nor at all - that being said I'm in love with it tracks movement and sleep and encourages you to do better in both ! My husband got the griffin wearable and I'm gonna buy it too a lot more comfy than the plastic but even with the non waterproof and plastic break I still love it- teresa

    Clip doesn't clip, band changed color

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I got this because I wanted a calorie counter for my steps, and I loved the color. It was the color of light neon green. I attached the device, to the band, and the band changed color from my hands when handling it. There was prints of pinkish hues on it. When I downloaded the app, I didn't see a calorie counter. The next day I used the clip instead of the band, and the clip became unattached twice. The second was the last time I saw it, I had only used it for a day! And the clip, did not do a very good job of clipping onto my pant pocket! So sad to see it go, I wanted to use a for a while longer, but no, the clip didn't work from activity. There goes my money for that.

    Very poor quality

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Compare to the Shine, the Flash is made of all plastic construction and it is quite a bit thicker. It is definitely not the sexy device the Shine is. But at a fraction of the price, that is fine... except when it completely stopped working after less than 2 months of normal daily use. The flash was worn daily with the clip on clothing. It was never dropped, never touched water, never abused. In fact it was used in a very careful fashion. But regardless, now it doesn't stay on consistently... it would come on after a button press, then shuts. Pressing the button only work sometimes. Changed new batteries but did not help. Avoid this product, it is not worth the trouble.

    Great tracker at a great price

    This is my first fitness & activity tracker and i must say that, this does a pretty good job. I really like the watch face of it, that comes handy with a click. Though it doesn't automatically recognizes various activities, there is a shorthand feature to tag it against long press. The app also comes clean that integrates well with Health app.

    Awful, stay away

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The device itself seems to work fine, but the band broke within 1 week. I contacted customer service and they are sending a new band, but I am sure it will break again. According to customer service, there is not a new band for purchase. This means you must be without the device for about a week or two while they send you a new one. At this rate I will wait longer for a new band than the first one lasted to begin with. If they make an adjustment to the band, I will amend this review, until then I cannot recommend this product to anyone.

    Great device for price!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Awesome device for the price-point. I have been researching trackers for several months and couldn't decide on one I really liked. Alas, Misfit Wearables comes along, Very light and comfortable (I can hardly feel it on my wrist), fashionable (I have to dress up for work and some of these trackers are just plain ugly), and the app has a lot of great features and the misfit products can now connect to a ton of other cool apps. I was also worried because I have tiny wrists but this device doesn't look bulky or out of place so I love that! Everything was super easy to use and setup I had no issues there. I will definitely be recommending this device to all my friends who are in the market for fitness trackers.

    can not work after two month

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I just use it as the instruction. Now it can not work, just have some lights flashing, cannot sync with my phone, display the time or record my data. I can not return it tp bestbuy now. And also the customer service of misfit is poor. They said give me a solution and after that they just disappear and not reply me again. I am disappointed and if you want to buy it, I have to say take a real consideration.

    Not as Good as the Original

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    So I bought this hoping that it would be as good as the original one that I had, but it unfortunately was terrible. The plastic felt cheap, and I didn't like the way it "snapped" into the band. It didn't feel very secure to me. I finally got it in the band to my satisfaction, and then tried for a long time to get it to sync to the app, and it wouldn't even recognize the device. Overall, if you are debating between the two, save your money, and buy the original misfits. They are amazing.

    works, but.....

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    We bought 2 of these in January 2015....as of March 2015, both wrist bands have broken. Unit works ok if you want to carry it in your pocket. If you want to wear it on your wrist, I would look for a product with a better wrist band. (note: spoke with salesperson at local Best Buy. He had not heard of this problem. When we looked at the display model, it also had a crack in the band.)

    Great Until The Band Broke

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I haved owned this product for a little over a month now. I really enjoy it and app that goes along with it. Yesterday when I put it on my wrist, the band snapped in the middle. I emailed Misfit and have not heard anything back yet. If I could do it again, I'd spend the extra money and get a Fitbit.

    It helps me stay active and I've already losing weigh because it reminds me to walk more and I keep the calories I take in less than the calories I burn.

    Worst. Purchase. Ever.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Bought one a little over a week ago. It died after two days. I tried to change the battery, and it still didn't work. Brought it in to exchange it. Have had the other one less than a week. It disappeared out of my phone, and will no longer sync. I'm bringing it in to exchange it for the similarly priced Jawbone UpMove. Also, Misfit's customer service is AWFUL.

    Good product but flimsy band

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I think this is a well-made budget activity tracker. But, the band material is very flimsy. I contacted Misfit customer support and they are shipping out a new band. Happy with it so far.

    Good unit for the money

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I needed to move around more now that weather is bad. I can monitor my steps and try to at least meet my goals. Also great sleep tracker. Misfit support is outstanding. They respond quickly to questions and problems. Overall I am pretty satisfied with this. Compared similar units and this seems the best, most reliable, and I can wear it in the shower.

    nice tracker for an occasional user

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased this for my daughter. She loved the pink and the band was comfortable. The band, however, has ripped from putting the tracker in it multiple times since it doesn't stay in it well but she hardly wears it much. She loves the app you need to download and holds herself accountable for the activity if she uses the band.

    Lost this after about 36 hrs the band broke right around the bezel. He didn't even know it was gone until he went to remove it to shower. This is a low activity disabled male. We wanted it to track his activity to make sure he was getting enough excercise.
