    • I think it is pretty awesome that Misfit designed a device that can track your sleep, and it does it quite accurately.+ Remote Usage - Using the Misfit Link app you can control many functionalities on your phone, such as taking pictures, pausing and playing music, and navigating a powerpoint presentation.+ Clasp
    • I am certainly not going to buy one of their more expensive devices if they don't provide support.
    • In comparing this $20 device to my $150 device, I was absolutely astounded at the value of the Misfit Flash in comparison to the much more expensive Fitbit Charge HR.

    • In my experience, the device functions well - for about 6 to 8 weeks and them falls completely.
    • I wish that Misfit would find a way to make a much better enclosure, wrist strap, and clip without having to charge $50-100 like they do for their two upscale devices

    • I again wrote to customer support and after some sleuthing found out I had a "defective device" and they decided to ship me a third MisFit

    • the device itself is easy to use and ready to use out of the box once you download the app
    • so I hope it works because I really like the device itself
    • So far I am absolutely loving this device
    • The fact that they are so bad means you will likely lose your device within weeks and that is simply not acceptable

    • I was completely transparent in my communication with them, lest they think I was just angling for another free device to be sent to the same address

    • Your device's serial number
    • It's not as accurate as the FitBit devices
    • the device stopped work after a week, I don't know why, Im waiting a response from the support
    • This device is pretty accurate.
    • I had this device for about a week and was loving it - I like the app, the lack of having to charge it, and I like the look of it
    • As I looked the device over I notice several small cracks around the bottom part of the hard plastic that makes the shell
    • Edit 5/30/16: I'm dropping it down to one star after the rubber cover came off and a week later the device quit working altogether
    • I love the device though.
    • The device itself doesn't scream heavy duty--but it doesn't seem particularly fragile either
    • I loved the product itself but the only two options seemed to be to sit the device loosely and possibly lose it, or fit it tightly and break the band.
    • This device has become utterly useless, as it will no longer is displaying my activity in the app.
    • Once I lose the device for
    • I have bought two of these Misfit Flash devices and I had a third that was a replacement under warranty
    • If you are looking for a highly accurate device, this isn't it.
    • Overall it is a cute device that is able to automatically track sleep (if you sleep during normal night hours...it won't track sleep during the day) and their customer support team has been very responsive, however the device does not seem to be as waterproof as it claims to be, isn't sturdy, and doesn't seem to be all that consistent in tracking data.
    • Love the product but I killed the device sadly
    • The device itself is great, does what it needs to do, nuff said
    • All in all, I'm still giving it 3 stars because it was a good device for the money until it stopped working
    • There have been a few close calls with snagging my band on something and worrying it might break, but so far the device is awesome!
    • In order to have this cost effective device work with your existing tech, you need to invest $400+ in upgrading your phone
    • Great device simple and useful
    • My father's wrist band kept breaking until one day he eventually lost the whole device while on vacation
    • Must have a smart device with Bluetooth.
    • Bought it for my wife after she had several friends show off their Misfit Shine devices and we actually chose the Flash not for the lower price but because the device went into the band from behind, which we thought would be more secure
    • Just like that, after less than a week, the device was dead.
    • Overall, its not a bad device given the price point/value
    • The device itself is certainly decent for the price
    • So we highly do NOT recommend you to use your Flash with any water related activities."I'd buy another Misfit device, but I wouldn't purchase this again hindsight 20/20.
    • Just a terrific device.
    • I love this device
    • This device works well

    • The device worked for two days, then would no longer sync

    • The band is horrible and the device doesn't even snap in properly, so it can fall out of the band every time you take it off.
    • The device works very well and is easy to read.
    • Overall, good device but the wristband is terrible quality
    • I can say that this device gave me more issue when setting it up than my flash did, but after several attempts it was paired with my phone and ready to go
    • Terrible device.
    • The first time, I decide that because I liked the device itself, it would be worth the money to buy another one, hoping the strap on mine was just defective
    • Then the misfit device does not hold any more data
    • The Vivofit 2 feels like a tank in comparison, but can only be worn on the wrist or placed in your pocket (a bummer for healthcare workers who are concerned about the device trapping microbes)
    • Very disappointed with this because the device is awesome!!
    • Poor quality, device and accessories continue to fail even after replacements.
    • The device is lost
    • Well, you may get the same device; I already requested a return label.
    • terrible device, DO NOT waste your time and money
    • terrible device, DO NOT waste your time and money
    • Great device!
    • For one of the cheapest devices on the market it does everything I need, but I'd be willing to pay a little extra for better quality, but shouldn't have to.
    • I have not had any problem with the bluetooth in the compatible device recognizing any other item
    • This device worked very well for me for about 4 months.
    • Device is great for monitoring distance, calories, steps and sleep.

    • everI hope that Misfit does right and replaces all the defective devices.
    • What was advertised - great device for fitness tracking
    • Wrist band broke and I lost device
    • It's a good starter device if you are not sure how you feel about trackers.
    • I wanted to like this device
    • It's a reasonable device that gets attention because people want to know how you tell the time as the face has no numbers
    • It is still a perfectly good device - only I don't know where it may be after a day of yard work, and there is no way I can find it where it was lost
    • Love the device, but the band is designed to fail.
    • I am not sure if this is a fluke or if these devices are really this flimsy
    • I'm able to send text messages, turn smart devices on or off, play music on my phone, etc using the device
    • Note and send us the serial number.- Send us a close-up picture of your Misfit device like this [...]
    • Device was fine but band cracked around the face within two weeks of wearing
    • Unfortunately the band is chintzy and the actual device stopped working today
    • otherwise I am finding it pretty accurate on distance but the calories are wildly inaccurate and it would be a better device if they removed this feature.
    • The second time killed this device even though it should be water resistant
    • Very poorly designed device
    • I am not expecting it to solve quantum physics, just be an accurate device
    • The device worked OK in the beginning, but recently has only synced intermittently with the Misfit app
    • Sorry Misfit but three different devices over the course of 15
    • However, the device worked for less than a week and then just stopped turning on
    • I bought his Misfit Flash hoping to have a good experience with an inexpensive device
    • Much like the Jawbone Up Move, this device has no screen - only LED lights
    • The device is fun to use, and motivational
    • The second I dove in to the water the device stopped working
    • Just like that, after less than a week, the device was dead.
    • The 2 one the wrist band broke and about 3 days later the device stopped working
    • Bought it for my wife after she had several friends show off their Misfit Shine devices and we actually chose the Flash not for the lower price but because the device went into the band from behind, which we thought would be more secure
    • When it worked and didn't break I really liked it
