Customer Ratings & Reviews

The lights were hard to read couldn't see them outside and using it as a clock was impossible

Not the of type of smart watch as for use or any other of its feature. Dillicut to tell the time.

I've tried just about every activity tracker on the market and this is, without a doubt, my favorite. It's sleek, minimalistic, and does exactly what I need it to (all very reliably with a battery that doesn't require charging). I've heard some complain about the tracker's accuracy, but the Shine seems pretty consistent with what the other devices track in terms of steps taken and calories burned. I love that it is basically waterproof (water resistant up to 50 meters) and has a battery that lasts approximately 4-6 months. Replacing the battery is easy, too. It requires a little CR 2032 watch battery that you can buy pretty much anywhere for less than $10. The app for this is great especially if you're an iOS user. I highly recommend this device.

Not accurate at all. Waste of money I returned it after trying it for a week.

I love my Shine. It's super easy to use and set up. Plus it's beautiful and doesn't look out of place with clothing that isn't workout gear. You can also wear it on the clasp if you want it to be a bit less noticeable with an outfit. Just be careful of placement when using the clasp, it got knocked off my clothing and I didn't notice it was missing until way later. I never found it and had to replace it. The app for the iPhone is awesome too. Just the right amount of information to get motivated, and keep track of your progress. I also love the sleep tracking option too. I do recommend reading the info. on Misfit's FAQ page. It has good explanations of how Shine works and tracks your calories and progress. It helped me to better understand the way it works and what it's capable of. The customer service at Misfit is AWESOME too! They actually care about the customer, and they have gotten back to me quickly whenever I had a question or concern. When I had a problem, they happily made it right. I highly recommend this device to help get motivated to be more active. It's a fun way to do it.

Did not come with a wrist band or necklace. Traded for Fitbit.

My wife has been using this since Christmas and we both love it. It just works for her and no tech support for me. To address other comments. First you don't have to tap the device against your phone to sync. Yes they even advertise this, but it's Bluetooth LE. Just use your finger to tap on the sync screen and it syncs while it is still on your wrist or anywhere close to your phone. The best part is no weekly charging. That sounds simple but it really makes a difference. Next it is a really good looking device. My wife gets compliments on it as if it was a bracelet. Lastly it appears to be very accurate both in daily activities and sleep. It certainly tracks her overall sleep very well. Who really knows about deep sleep but it does seem to track her overall feeling about sleep quality very well. I wish I had one (hint hint).

The shine is great at keeping up with a variety of activities. It doesn't matter if I'm swimming, running, biking, or sleeping it maintains accurate data. It's dressier than other brands so i can wear it at work also.

Was very hard to set up. Did not perform as advertised

I am using misfit since August this year. I love it. Works very nice and looks sleek. Battery holds around 3-4 month and its waterproof!!! Recommend!!

This product has a nice aesthetic design and is very lite and slim. Unfortunately the wrist bands (Both leather and rubber), that holds the activity monitor is very poorly designed and does not securely contain the device. When I was running cross country, the activity monitor fell out of the band somewhere along the route. I back tracked and was unable to find it. So I was out $100.00 and left with an empty wrist band. The iPhone software is very weak and limited in function. If you are serious about buying this device I highly recommend downloading the free misfit app and check out the functions for yourself. You will have to sign up for an account which is also free but it's worth trying before buying. Bottom line: If you avoid any vigorous exercise and don't mind a very limited data set offered by the software, then this may be for you. I ended up buying the fitbit force which is a much better option for me and my level of activity and offers plenty of data for exercise, sleep and diet.

It's a great idea - a pedometer that looks like jewelry instead of, well, a pedometer. That it's so versatile and waterproofed for swimming is even better. In real life the execution is a bit off - tricky to assemble the battery cover, and two watch bands had a tendency to fall off leading ultimately to landing on the garage floor and going under a car. :( I wish the execution were better because I really want to like the Shine. A simple device with basic time telling is all many people need/want, and it looks real neat. Another quibble is at this price point there are trackers that start to include some basic smartwatch functionality - at least caller ID, calendar and text notifications, etc. Misfit is more attractive to wear than Striiv, Fitbit, etc., but the limited functionality changes the equation.

I love that this is battery operated and that I don't need to charge it. No cords to keep track of - easy to sync. Really interesting to track my sleep - don't even notice I'm wearing it at night. Tracking my daily activity is a great motivator to set and exceed goals.

This is a cool idea, small compact and full of options. BUT, you will lose it. Its a guarantee. I have purchased 2 of these and lost them both. The band is terribly designed and the shine will fall out. Just a matter of time. Also, the sleep tracker is nearly useless as it will only track 1 sleep cycle per 24 hours. Other than that, its ok. But keep it in your pocket or your gonna be out of good hard earned money.

I love how thin and light weight my shine is. I usually forget I'm wearing it. I usually wear it on my wrist, but it also can be clipped to a shirt or bra strap. It tracks my activity and sleep with great accuracy. Extremely user friendly free app (apple & android) lets me check my stats, change goals or settings easily at any time. The fun stylish colors and sleek design are perfect for both men and women.

I've tried many health trackers out there on the market: the Fitbit Flex, Jawbone UP 24, and the Misfit Shine. I love wearing the Misfit Shine the best out of the other two and best of all loved the fact I didn't have to have another device to charge. But at the end of the day, the rubber sport-band made me nervous that over time and doing exercise with it, that the Shine would eventually fall out and be lost. You can feel the shine jiggle in the Sport Band. After a few days, it's very easy to pop out once the rubber has been stretched enough. They say the leather band accessory is a lot more secure - but I don't want to spend $40 on an accessory band in leather that will not be comfortable to wear while out on an hour long run - nor can that be worn in water. I prefered the App design over FitBit and Jawbone a lot. The auto-sleep tracking is neat when it works. But if you are somewhat stationary watching television on a couch before bed-time, it will think you're asleep. I also got up one morning and had gone downstairs, taken several steps, and it thought I was still asleep (maybe I was dreaming?) I think a V2 of this device where the Misfit can be inserted into the band (similar to the FitBit Flex) would be a great idea. Also - you can forget being able to see the LED's while out in the sun (unless you cover up the Misfit with your hand).

It was exactly what I needed. It is water-proof, automatically detects sleep, and looks like a watch.

Pros: Looks great Low profile design Cons: Gets out of sync with actual time (shows sleep during the day and exercise at night) Sometimes erases hours of workout (will show zero workout level when I've been moving considerably the entire time). Doesn't track all sleep. Typically only records about 50% of my sleep. Lost device while wearing as proscribed. Tiny installed user base (none of my 400 FB friends use one) so miss out on friendly competition experience Needs to be right next to phone to sync. Display rarely works. Usually either shows no activity, or only about 50% of actual workout level. After syncing shows actual level, but then what's the point of the display?

The shine is great, the app is simple, and if you need some extra motivation to get moving the LEDs which show you what portion of you activity goal you have left can really help. Also no need to charge/recharge, just replace the battery every 3-4 months, and the app lets you know when the battery is getting low.

I'm still on the fence after having one for 4 weeks. No crashes yet. I like the circle of LEDs for telling time and measuring % of daily goal. Getting it to work with MyFitnessPal was easy. It's not perfected technology -- mistook my applause at a live show for vigorous bicycling, even though I disabled the triple-tap-to-start-an-activity feature. Tech support said I could correct the activity after synching, but only until midnight. After that you cannot edit anything, which I find unnecessarily restrictive. Before you synch for the day, the default screen on the Android app (v. 0.17.0) displays a rather creepy, oiled, petite, plastic-looking boy-model who's also on the box. Can't get rid of the diminutive imp. I detest it so much I avoid synching. "Over-marketing!" Its size is such that it looks like a woman's watch, even on my skinny wrists.
