# Fashion-Forward Movement Monitors The Shine Activity Monitor is Subtly Sporty By Michael Hines | Published 2013-11-04 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shine-activity-monitor References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2013/11/04/shine-wearable-activity-monitor-by-misfit/) & [misfitwearables](http://www.misfitwearables.com/) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Subtle Activity Tracking:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop discreet activity tracking devices that blend seamlessly with everyday fashion. - **Multi-functional Wearables:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create wearables that serve multiple purposes, such as tracking activity and displaying the time. - **Goal-oriented Fitness Tracking:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design fitness tracking devices that allow users to set and monitor their own goals for a personalized experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Wearable Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate activity tracking capabilities into a wider range of fashionable wearables. - **Health and Wellness:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Facilitate the integration of activity trackers into wellness programs and healthcare services for more precise monitoring and personalized care. - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with fashion brands to create stylish accessories that incorporate activity tracking technology. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Motivational Fitness Tracker Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neatfit-fitness-tracker.md) - [Next-Generation Screenless Fitness Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/screenless-fitness-monitor.md) - [Motion-Sensing Wristwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-digital-basic-gdb500.md) - [Wellness Energy-Monitoring Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garmin-vivoactive-5.md) - [Fitness-Tracking Accessible Smart Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebble-halo-smart-ring.md) - [Demure Blood Pressure Bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aktiia-wearable-blood-pressure-monitor.md) - [Personalized Fitness Plan Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazfit-active.md) - [All-Day Wellness Wearable Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garmin-vvosmart-5.md) - [Health-Tracking Sleek Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ring-one.md)
