    An attractive package, so so execution

    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 really enjoyed using it till it fell off the holder in the middle of a store and not able to get it back. I had been using it every day, tracking steps, sleep and enjoyed the app. I don't like to use it you need to buy different holders for it.

    I have bought 3 of these in t he last year, 1 for my wife. One fell out of the flimsy band, a common complaint, I got smart and used a little scotch tape on the next one. We loved them when they work, they have both quit for no good reason, they have new batteries and that did not help. Mine quit recording sleep data a couple months before it quit totally, I did not care. Then it started going to sleep when I was active and not recording anything, usually starting at noon for some reason, now totally dead

    Substandard device and waste of time/money

    Where do I begin with the problems.... 1. To synch with the iPhone, you have to tap the screen hard....not so great for my phone! 2. When putting the shine in a holder, you have to tap to get it to light and determine the 12 O'Clock position and keep it lined up when putting it in the magnetic clasp or watch band. 3. Ring on the magnetic clasp broke after taking it out and trying to put it in the 2nd time. 4. Watch band is too small for a man (or anything above a petite woman) to wear without looking silly. 5. As I was setting it up, updating the firmware, and synching over the course of 10 minutes, I never left my seat. According to the Shine, however, I'd taken 20 steps!! Seriously??? That tells me all I need to know It goes back tomorrow. How disappointing and what a hassle. Shame on the company for releasing such a substandard product.

    Great fridge magnet for your written workout sheet

    Tech companies need to get up to speed. If they are only going to cater to one part of the market they need to say so, clearly, on the packaging. No fine print. This was bought as a gift for me, only to find once you open the box and read the literature that it really only works with the more recent iPhones, some Android phones and no Windows phones. Result an opened packaged product gets returned to the store. I get that tech development is expensive and companies sometimes have to choose which part of the market they are going to exploit but you need to let the consumer in on the secret. All techies are consumers but not all consumers (by any means) are techies.

    The clasp lasted only 4 months. It fell off unknowingly and is now lost. Can't see paying $100 every 4 months
