Misfit flash
The misfit flash is the lower end model of the misfit series but its not lesser in any way but its construction.
The misfit shine is made out of aluminum, where the flash is made of plastic
I was looking for a fitness wearable so when I saw this for a good price, I picked one up and thought I'd review it
The flash is very easy to use. Simply push down on the face and it lights up. First it will show you the clock, then your fitness progress. The clock is interesting. first it lights up the 4 time points (12, 3, 6, 9). then it glows bright which hour it is. then it flashes the minute number. For displaying the progress, it fills up dots around the ring of the face. You can also reverse it so it shows progress then clock in the app.
The app really is where most of the functionality comes from.
In there you can track your activity, calories burned and how much progress you have on your goals for fitness.
It also tracks your sleep - the misfit tracks your motion and heartbeat in conjunction with time and tracks your deep sleep and regular sleep, and then also compares that to your set goal of how much sleep you want
In the app you can set your goals: points for fitness, hours for sleep, and desired weight. Change which device syncs with your app and change settings in your device
It even has a social aspect where you can share your progress and see how other misfit users are doing (anonymous) or your friends on FB, Twitter, linkedin or contacts
Conclusions - the flash is a basic but functional fitness tracker.. with a watch face kind of thrown in there. Its light weight, easy to use, nice to track, and cheap.
But its not quiet as function rich as things like the jawbone, etc. Overall good device for the price.
