The Shine's one of the most stylish and futuristic-looking wireless fitness trackers out there, but you're trading in extra versatility for minimalist style.

Beautiful design, insanely long (6 month) battery life, can wear it almost anywhere on your body
Syncing the Shine to the app can take a few tries sometimes
The Misfit Shine costs around £79, cheaper than most fitness trackers. In my two weeks of using it I liked it much more than I thought it would. Because of its elegant design I didn't feel like a “geek” wearing it--as I normally do with other fitness trac...
