Reviews around way (5.00 of 5)

  • The iPhone app is completely intuitive, displays info in a helpful way, and just works.4.
  • To top this off, the included wrist band is only a way to lose this little $99 disk shaped piece of sh-.
  • It seems to clip better on thicker fabrics, but it seems like there is no way it would stay on the thinner, polyester/Lycra-type exercise clothing (let
  • Either way, Misfits customer service is doing their best with an obvious design flaw, in my book that is enough to keep me around for while they work out the kinks in a brand new, highly segmented market
  • I like the way it looks, like watch instead of a plasticky toy

Reviews around work (5.00 of 5)

  • Misfit did away with the magnetic clasp found in the original Shine (I assume because it wouldn't have worked well with thicker fabrics) and went for a plastic clip instead.
  • The Shine 2 worked just as well as my Flash in tracking my steps, sleep, and other activities
  • I gave 5 stars because I love the shine product, and although they are burying strapgate like the Hillary and her emails, I continue to love their work
  • Most things on the phone cannot be accessed or used (no texting, no calendar, no emails, no social media, no unlocking the phone using a password, etc).I have had a tech professional working on it for over 4 (FOUR) hours now, and no luck (MY tech person - not

Reviews around glue (5.00 of 5)

  • Now all of you who posted reviews knowing this would happen can laugh knowing that even super glue will not make the MISFIT SHINE 2 FIT
  • , I read all the reviews saying that the device would pop out of the wrist band, but I thought, "hey, what about super glue?"
  • So I purchased it, nearly lost it three times before getting some super glue, and then Presto-Fixo, problem solved
  • On the bright side, the new clip has much more surface area that can be used to super glue the device into the band, which is what I have done

Reviews around fitness (4.33 of 5)

  • If you want a week of the best fitness tracking ever, buy this.
  • The Shine 2 is actually the best fitness tracker I have used in a while (I have owned and used the Jawbone UP, Jawbone UP24, Jawbone UP 2, Fitbit Flex, Fitbit Force, Fitbit Charge HR, and Misfit Shine over the past few years), however its Sports Band wristband and plastic clip are so bad that simply wearing the Shine 2 around the house can lead to losing a $99 device!
  • It would be a great fitness tracker but the sports band and accessories just kills it
  • I linked my-fitness-pal to misfit app since the food logging is easier in the former
  • I really want to give this 5 stars because it is a great fitness tracker

Reviews around pop (4.33 of 5)

  • I have had my Shine 2 pop out of the bracelet if I snagged it, but it only happened once
  • I had the Shine 2 pop out of the wristband more than 10 times in the first week of use.
  • I have had my misfit shine 2 days and it has popped out of the band twice.
  • , I had the Shine 2 pop out of the wristband while I was getting out of the car.
  • I did have some trouble with the Shine 2 popping off when putting on the wristband and once when I woke

Reviews around light (4.16 of 5)

  • and I have to say, the upgrades are really great, the activity tracking seems to be quite a bit more accurate, the new colored LED lights are very attractive and I love the text/call
  • For the good the led lights is nice and the activities tracker and sleep tracking works as it should.
  • The LED lights on the watch are much brighter and visible in the sun light, this was something the first version did not do so well on
  • As far as good points go, the LED lights are very pretty.
  • The lights are pretty much impossible to see during the day light

Reviews around sync (3.86 of 5)

  • Shine 2 syncs well, looks nice, is thin, flat, unobtrusive, simple, smooth, beautiful and artistic
  • No lights, constant vibe and it lost sync with the iPhone.
  • I was "going to bed soon," but that's not quite the same as "automatic."I don't know how well the Shine 2 syncs with Weight Watchers because I haven't tried.
  • No issues with Shine 2 so far - sync is very fast and reliable.- Alerts and notificationsThere 3 types of alerts that can be configured:-- "Misfit Move" - alerts you every at a configurable internal and time of the day when you are not moving
  • But then syncing would stop working and I would have to remove and reinsert the battery again to get my data to transfer

  • But if you're looking for the added features of alarms and call notifications, don't even bother with Misfit because they do not manufacture a product that will meet those needs and stay on your wrist while doing it.

Reviews around feature (3.57 of 5)

  • It's got some nice features, but it's still lacking where it counts for me - sleep tracking
  • Now they added colored lights which also a nice added feature
  • and we are still lacking some features that apple has had for quite some
  • A few times after it fell out, it was lost in my apartment, but even with the "I'll light up if I'm lost" feature, it wasn't found for days (an audio beep or a non-phone related vibrate option would have been a lot better in locating it)
  • I loved my misfit shine and was SUPER excited about the new "misfit move" feature where it tell you to get up after a certain amount of inactivity

Reviews around product (3.22 of 5)

  • Loved the product as much (or more) than my original Shine.
  • You know your product is useless and designed to get lost?

  • Great product, tracks very accurately,If you email misfit support, they will send you an updated action clip which will hold the shine 2 to your sports band properly,Photos of the new action clip attached,

Reviews around alarm (3.02 of 5)

  • I was also very interested in the silent alarm and automatic sleep tracking functions
  • I know there are other features this item has, but I have no idea how to find out how to use anything on it (smart vibrating alarm, pictures, music, notifications, etc).I really really want to love this

Reviews around review (2.09 of 5)

  • The stock Misfit bands are the primary reason both Shine and Shine 2 get terrible reviews
  • and it got good reviews on tracking this.
  • In looking for a new fitness tracker, I wanted one that could be worn with a clip, was waterproof (not just water resistant), and would sync with Weight Watchers (Weight Watchers is discontinuing their ActiveLink monitor and has a very short list of devices that will sync with their program).I started looking right before the Misfit Shine 2 was released, and the Misfit Shine seemed to have everything I was looking for, but the consistent reviews about the poor design of the band and clip leading to the loss of the devise gave me pause.
  • The material and design for this Misfit Shine 2 is beyond high quality, making this one of the best activity trackers.*This product was provided by the manufacturer (Misfit) in exchange for this honest and unbiased review
  • I have to say, after all the terrible reviews and missing little

Reviews around support (1.80 of 5)

  • Misfit support has been marginal at best, just running through "try again' advice and repeated steps that request more and more information.
  • I am really happy now and thanks to the wonderful and nice support from Misfit
  • However, I must say that Misfit support has been premium taking into consideration customers feedback
  • I contacted Misfit support who quickly replied and offered me to send back a new Shine 2 and a brand new action clip to attach to the band and should supposedly holding the Shine 2 perfectly
  • Few issues with device popping off etc, but support is great and they fix/replace quickly.

Reviews around band issue (1.69 of 5)

  • The vibration is essentially useless, especially when used with the additional stabilizing piece.@misfit or is it @fossil now, please correct the band issue, and provide some way to locate our investment
  • DO NOT BUY THIS TILL MISFIT FIXES THE BAND ISSUE!!
  • The vibration is essentially useless, especially when used with the additional stabilizing piece.@misfit or is it @fossil now, please correct the band issue, and provide some way to locate our investment
  • I finally "resolved" the sports band issue by pulling the sides of the band off of the Shine 2 and using them to hold the Shine 2 against the plastic backing, which in turn connected to the band.
