I ordered a Shine yesterday, the price now is too good to pass up. I am reviewing the boards, but is the anything I NEED to know to make the experience better?

    I have to try several times in a row to get mine to sync most of the time, but it usually does after the 3rd attempt or so. Annoying, but not that big of a deal. Definitely keep track of the little disk that comes with the shine so that you can replace the battery ;). Hmmm, what else . . . . ? I "loose" mine a lot. I'll attach it to my clothing and then forget about it when I change clothes, lol. It's VERY unobtrusive and easy to not notice. Make sure that you wear it so that it won't fall off onto the ground if it pops out of the magnet strap. The magnet on the Shine is very powerful, so if I'm wearing a metal bracelet or watch band and touch where I'm wearing the Shine (usually at my waist or on a strap), it's powerful enough that the metal on my wrist can pull the magnet off the Shine, even through my clothing, so I try to make sure that if that happens, it will fall down into a pocket or a tucked in shirt or something. I compare the step count on the Shine to my Samsung S Health app, and it's pretty consistent, so I think the Shine is pretty accurate.

    This group isn't very active/big, but if you have questions, just ask!
