Misfit brings a Speedo-branded swim tracker to the Apple Store<article>
<section class="page">
<p>Swimmers in search of a cheap, waterproof exercise tracker now have another option in Misfit’s
Speedo Shine.</p><p>The $80 fitness band uses an accelerometer and algorithms to count laps, distance, calories burned, and exercise time. After the workout, users can sync the data over Bluetooth to Misfit’s apps for iOS, Android, and Windows phones, where it counts toward a general activity score. The data will also sync with
Speedo’s own swim tracking app soon after launch.</p><p>Beyond the swim tracking—and a new pale silver color scheme—the Speedo Shine is identical to Misfit’s existing Shine fitness trackers, and is able to track walking, running, cycling, and sleep. A set of 12 LED lights around the aluminum face tells users how far they are toward their daily fitness goals, and the device is water resistant to 50 meters. It runs on a standard CR2032 coin cell battery, which doesn’t need charging, but must be replaced about every six months.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2972753/gadgets/misfit-brings-a-speedo-branded-swim-tracker-to-the-apple-store.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
