BestBuy Shine Elegant Wearable Tracker #Review


My first thought when I saw the Misfit Shine Elegant in it's packaging was it looked so high tech that I thought of Aliens. Yep! My mind went there. Maybe because the packaging looked like a saucer? That may have been it. Then after opening the Shine, It still gave off that smooth, elegant vibe to me that it was something different, and special. Misfit Shine Elegant is sold exclusively at BestBuy.

I really dig that it does not look like My Hubbies tracker, and still gives me that girly accessory feel while I work out, and it tracks me.  The fact the Misfit does not have to be worn only around the wrist.  The Misfit Shine can be worn on the Shirt, Shoes, Belt, as a Necklace to any occasion. I wear mine around my wrist, and it looks like a nice watch, I forget it's even on. It also comes with a clasp that can be used to wear anywhere else.

Shine is exclusively available in additional colors at Best Buy including Silver, Black, Champagne and Topaz.

Shine Features: •Activity Tracking, •Steps, •Activities: Swimming, Biking, Tennis, etc., •Sleep, •Calories, •Clock, •Waterproof, •Extra Accessories (includes Magnet clip), •Leather Bands, •Sport band, •Necklace

Shine is a gorgeous device that will empower people to be more proactive about their personal health.

Width 27.5mm x Depth 3.3mm x Height 27.5mm with a weight of 9.4g. The device runs on a coin cell battery which lasts about 4 months. Shine is water-resistant for swimming.


Easily download the Shine App to Sync your Device. If you don't have an iphone, or an android, it can also connect to your computer to view your info it has tracked.  I had no problem setting the app up on my phone, once it was installed it was easy to track. I think this is a great gift for the Fitness Beginner, and Expert.  It's easy to use, and can even wear it in the shower!  When it says track everything, you really do track everything.
