Misfit Shine - Anyone using?

I've been using one for a little bit now. what's your ?

I think its a good measure of how your doing im using the iPhone 6 with it tied to the misfit as well. I know for me it is helping a lot even if it were to be a little off unless you spend over 200 for heart rate monitors and the very expensive trackers the misfit has had very good reviews I love mine as all the options it has vs. others sleep, calories, clock( not the best but it helps) and water proof up to 50m that was defiantly a selling point to me I never have to take if off for fear of water and I don't have to take it off to charge and then eventually never put it back on. but yes I love it I think it is great. once you really figure it out I think you will love it

oh and I wasn't thinking as well you cant just look at how many steps you have taken and look at calories it is an activity tracker so all your movement throughout the day are tracked as well in that number

I have been using the misfit shine since August. I am a right handed accountant. My calculating hand is my right hand. I did notice that it was logging some false steps because of that. (I also noticed a spike when drying my hair one morning, lol) My fix was to just move it to my left hand. It seems to be pretty accurate now. However if it is inaccurate, it is consistently inaccurate. Which is a good thing. (If that makes sense) Therefore if you show an increase in activity, you are truly showing an increase. It may not be by the exact number of steps, but regardless it is an increase. I wore mine for about a week to get an estimate of my normal activity. After I had a good base logged, I then started adding activity to my daily routine. Or trying to beat yesterdays points/steps. I know, without a doubt, that I am more active since I started wearing it than I was before. I would have to say that I love mine as well. I hope this helps as well.

I have had my Misfit Shine since August and I love it. I did noticed once I put it in a zippered pocket wristband and wore it around my ankle it has a more accurate reading. I got the zippered pocket wristband on Amazon for $5.00. If you want to have a friend on the app my user name is haley0707, feel free to add me.

I've been using Misfit Shine since late November. I really like it! I wear it almost 24/7, on my wrist for sleeping and usually clipped on my shirt collar the rest of the time although I do wear it on my shoe when cycling. I have also tried wearing it on my waistband. Overall, I feel it is as accurate as other pedometers and fitness trackers I have used. On the plus side is being waterproof.

As far as the Shine itself, it's a lovely unobtrusive design. I immediately bought a replacement band and clip as I feel both have the potential to break with wear. I have had syncing problems between Misfit app and MFP, most recently with MFP not syncing my calories consumed. I really do find this intermittent problem quite annoying but it is a problem between the two apps, not the Shine itself.

@djshipmo the Misfit Shine app shows wearable options under settings. Some locations are better than others for certain activities. The necklace option is a bit expensive and not suitable for some activities but there are work-arounds if you don't want to pay for the actual Misfit necklace.

I'm its_me_susan on misfit & would love to have more friends there.

My goal is low right now. I have fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome & a bad neck/spine injury... I am slowly rebuilding, so hopefully will make slow but steady progress.

Purchased Misfit Flash in December. Looking for friends to motivate each other. "Letswalk" is my tag id.

Thanks for the post!!! I want another wearable option for the Shine. Can you post the link?

Have you tried searching etsy? I saw a listing there the other day. A woman makes jewelry for fitness trackers. She has metal necklaces and beaded bracelets with leather pockets to put the shine (and Fitbit) in.

I'm pretty new to using the Shine, just got mine after Christmas. I notice I'm more active. Have wondered if the reading is accurate when I wear the necklace.

If you are having trouble linking the apps, disconnect from MFP and from the Misfit app and set up the connection again. I had the same problem when I first set mine up.

That's great....I think mine is over generous....I like it to many run and my pace includes my walks for the day as run and lumps them together my pace looks fab but I know it is not true. Am I doing something wrong?
