" ... The band broke within 6 months!!! ... "
" ... the rubber band holder did not hold . ... watch was lost . ... "
" ... She wears on her ankle I wear the clip. ... "
" ... The face of the thing was scratched, the wearable, magnetic clip was torn and unusable and the battery is at about 50%. ... "
" ... I do not like the band and I have no idea how to wear the watch or how to get started. ... "
" ... IT FELL OUT OF THE BAND LESS THAN TWO DAYS AFTER I GOT IT. ... That can only be attributed to shoddy workmanship in regards to their band design. ... The disc of the tracker itself has a ridge on the sides that this flimsy little silicone band stretches around. ... "
" ... I liked it until it fell out of the band at a concert. ... "
" ... The only thing we found was his wrist is too large for the band. ... "

" ... The item is defective!!!! ... "
" ... Second one stopped working sfter a couple of weeks, could not sync with my Iphone, so basicaly without sync it is useless. ... "
" ... The problem with my device could not be corrected and they would ship a replacement within the next seven to ten days. ... So, in a couple of weeks, MAYBE I will have a device that works or maybe I will be waiting on the replacement for the replacement for the replacement. ... "
" ... It had stopped working for my wife so I figured it was the battery, opened it up and it was full of water and corroded. ... "
" ... Also, the device ordered itself a new battery when it first died at around six months, after that with no notification it was my responsibility. ... I am very disappointed as I expected to get more than a few months use out of it. ... "
" ... Quit working 43 days after I received it I replaced the battery and it still won't work. ... "
" ... Then it just stopped. ... "
" ... I went through 6 clips because they break too easy until I finally lost mine. ... So of 4 devices, we lost 3 in 4 months. ... "

" ... I use the the clip for clothing and wear it on my neck collar or the strap of my swimsuit. ... "
" ... Definitely is the best looking and feeling! ... "
" ... Always like this product because you can wear and forget and you can still keep tabs on your activity progress! ... "
" ... I enjoy wearing the clasp style under my clothes at work so I can keep up with my steps privately and then its great for workout and activities outside of work. ... "
" ... Nice to wear and doesn't look like a watch at all, looks like a nice piece of accessory. ... "
" ... I found the Shine was more accurate when worn on a waistband then on your wrist (-5% vs. -15% respectivelyh), but today I wore it to the gym and first the clasp magnet locked onto a door jamb and pulled of my pocket. ... "
" ... last week the tracker popped off of my wrist and is completely gone! ... "
" ... This product is comfortable to wear and easy to use. ... "

" ... I've had my Misfit for less than a year and I've had to change the battery TWICE!!!! ... "
" ... Battery life is about two days--not sixth months as advertised. ... I did not expect that I would be out buying batteries every other day. ... After the fourth battery, the tool and the slot where you insert it, were stripped making it nearly impossible to continue changing the battery. ... "
" ... Product is subpar and too difficult to even open to place the battery! ... "
" ... Mine did not come with battery I bought some battery's and it still did not work. ... "
" ... It got damaged when I tried to open it to put the battery in ... "
" ... After six months the battery died . ... "
" ... called the company and they sent me a new battery, it still didnt work. ... "
" ... I have noticed odd battery drain. ... I only place the tracker on when I swim but I still noticed almost a 25% battery reduction from about a weeks use. ... I'm going to chaulk this up to the el cheapo battery that was included that no doubt is very old . ... "

" ... I love the sleep monitoring. ... "
" ... The sleep monitoring is very helpful for me as I am someone who struggles with sleep and this helps me see how restful I am really sleeping. ... "
" ... I'm not convinced that sleep data is accurate on these things, but so far this one seems to be accurate (I have a sleep disorder and another machine that tracks some of the same info and it seems to support the info I get from Misfit) I like that it is simple and easy to use, though it took me a little while to figure out the taps, and I'm still learning. ... "
" ... Keeps track of sleep very well which is the reason he wanted it. ... "
" ... i like the sleep mode white sounds, that was very nice. ... "

" ... Excellent post work out swim analytics. ... would be better if there was a visual indicator while swimming to see lapcount etc. ... "
" ... Its nice that it is waterproof to so i can take this swimming with the kids in the summer. ... "
" ... But the thing I liked the most was that it was water resistant to 50m. ... I walk and swim, so that was perfect for me. ... "

" ... Combine that with the fact that it is waterproof & I can just keep it on all the time, shower included. ... "

" ... App and online instruction too minimalistic to ... "
" ... The lights wouldn't light up and the it would not sync to the app. ... "
" ... After weeks of relentless ads in my Facebook feed, I signed up for Achievemints, a website that actually pays you to be active (not a lot--$10 for 10,000 points, which are frustratingly slow to accumulate, but hey, it's money for doing what I'm doing anyway. ... Initial syncing with my Android was a little touchy (had to uninstall and reinstall the app before it "took"), but have had no problems since. ... "
" ... The cons for me, and it is a big one, it often won't sync to my android phone. ... Sometimes I had to reinstall the Misfit app. ... The android app doesn't work more than half the time. ... "
" ... Could not get it to sync with four different Android devices. ... I returned the Misfit Shine because it was useless without being able to sync with the app. ... "

" ... Best tracking device that works for me. ... "
" ... I used it to track steps and activity for work. ... "
" ... I have used others before and I feel this one is the most accurate! ... "
" ... Item as described, Fit is accurate ... "
" ... I use the speedo version to count laps for me, and it is on the money accurate. ... Scary accurate actually . ... "
" ... Easy to use and keeps me moving by tracking my progress. ... "
" ... I have never had any other activity trackers, so I can't compare, but this one shows a different distance every time I go from home to metro station. ... If you need a reliable activity tracker that will give you accurate data consistently, pick something that might be more expensive, but will actually work. ... "
" ... I think that it is fairly accurate, except for the distance calculated when you are riding bike, which is probably due to different gearing and coasting and no GPS capability of the app or device. ... "
