When it comes to subtly tracking how much you've moved in a day, there's no better way than the Shine Activity Monitor. Created by [Misfit Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/misfit-plant-based-protein-bars), Shine lets you inconspicuously track how much you've moved throughout the day. The gadget itself is a faceless disk that can be worn on a sportband, necklace, watchband or even a small clip. The idea is that you can wear it all day without running the risk of looking silly or overly sporty.

The Shine Activity Monitor can currently track walking/running, cycling, swimming and sleep. Shine works with an [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aura-strap-2) app that allows you to track and monitor data and set goals for yourself. You can track your progress by tapping the face; tapping the face also lets you check the time. The Shine Activity Monitor is available now for $119.95.
