    The hardware is gorgeous and the ability to wear it on your wrist, as a watch (kind of), as a necklace (I don't), our clip it anywhere puts this activity tracker well above the rest. The iOS app is pretty good but the Android app has a lot to desire.

    Does what it is built for well. A heart rate monitor and a better Misfit app would have made this a 5 for me.

    Started off well enough, but then accuracy began dropping. Even in the beginning, accuracy on my runs tended to be about 10% less than my dedicated run app and calories about 20% more. Then it started becoming more erratic. I used the watch band from the beginning, so tried the clip that came with it and received the same results. With some more software tweaking, this would still be my choice for an activity monitor. It just simply does it's thing with little human input. Returned it after 2 weeks.

    Still getting used to it. The only thing I wish is that you could review some on your information immediately instead of having to download everything on the computer every night. The rest of my purchases were movies.

    This one didn't work. I took it back and got a gray one and it didn't work either. It was frustrating. But it is really nice looking.

    I was hoping this would keep better track of my movements, and it did for 2 weeks until it fell out. The company made money off of me. The strap doesn't hold it in.

    I loved the option to wear this tracker...anywhere. Unfortunately, that's about it. I hate the app, interfaces with limited apps, and worst of all, it has a weird point system that I couldn't figure out instead of just straight up challenges.

    Great all around value

    I really like the shine by misfits wearables. Put it on and don't think about it after that. There is no need to take it off and charge it, it is water proof (I have been swimming with it on) which makes it the ideal activity tracker for swimmers. It tracks activity and sleep at least as well as JawBone's up and the Nike fuel band and it looks a whole lot better than either. This is also the only activity tracker that gives you some options as to how and where to put it on. The app is the only weakness of this quality piece of techno jewelry. The app is not terrible but after using up and nike fuel it lacks a few things like the ability to put a mood in your timeline, add notes to your activity or day, track eating and I wish it integrated with some of the other tracking apps out there like edmondo or strava to integrate the information from those apps with the data from the Shine tracker. With an improved app I would give this 5 stars after 3 solid weeks of use so far. The only other request I have for the company is to make one slighter larger for men's wrists, the shine can tend to look a bit feminine because of it's size.

    Great product for my wife!

    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).

    Nice Concept. Flawed Engineering and Software

    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.
