The Misfit Shine is an activity monitor developed by California-based company Misfit Wearables. Many people are put off wearable technology products because they are often bulky and not very stylish -- this is where the Misfit Shine stands out. This discreet, disc-shaped activity tracker looks sophisticated and stylish enough to be worn as a regular fashion accessory.
This waterproof device is also extremely versatile in the ways in which it can be worn -- it can be worn as a necklace, wristband or armband and works for months at a time without needing to be charged. The device syncs with an iPhone app, which allows users to keep track of their activity levels.
The Misfit Shine device retails for $119.95, with additional accessories available for anywhere between $19.95 and $79.95.
