So with the accuracy and the syncing issues I just decided I'd return it

Also since changing the battery, I'm having more syncing issues

As for syncing issues, for Android I found that besides Bluetooth, you also need to be connected to the internet and have location settings on, and if you have any other apps that sync with the Misfit data (like My Fitness Pal), they must be closed

Update: 10-5-15: after several weeks of frustration, I received this from Misfit Customer Service, "Please accept our sincere apologies for your syncing issues

It does have syncing issues and 9 out of 10 times will fail when first syncing

I have a Nexus 5 phone, and I constantly have had syncing issues with the Shine

Had a UP3, returned it because two of them started having sync issues within 3 months

That one died but I had already stopped wearing the thing on a regular basis because every time the syncing issue got fixed, I lost my data.

The number 1 thing I don't like about the Shine is it's syncing issues

Have to do the double-tap multiple times and then it sometimes reads as a triple tap, which then makes the device think it's tracking me swimming (or whatever activity I've specified for triple tap)- Over time, have begun to increasingly experience syncing issues

I also have never had any syncing issues with the shine vs constant headache with the jawbone

An honest waste of $75 :C

An honest waste of $75 :C

Fashionable - I upgraded to the metal mesh band and it looks just like a watch and goes pretty well with my

but I strong believe the flexibility in its design cause serious fault in the integrity of the gadget in the rubber enclosure

I will admit, I lost my first Shine at work when it fell out of the wrist band, however I really like the new band with the locking mechanism

A texturized surface and better retention system would make this device more useful and vastly extend the service life by preventing premature loss such as I and so many other reviewers experienced
