It seems that nearly everyone is using fitness trackers these days, measuring their activities as well as their sleep. There are pros and cons to every device ranging from price, accuracy, battery life, and color. I found one that is a definite ‘PRO’ in terms of fashion and bling with a sweet battery life and features a waterproof activity tracker!
Yesterday, I saw that Misfit Wearables (a hardware company that designs and manufactures wearable products that utilize sensor technology) and Swarovski have teamed up for some useful, blingy, fashionable fitness trackers! The activity tracker is a fully faceted crystal in a Swarovski exclusive cut, that measures your activities and sleep, and syncs with your smartphone. A battery is included, which from several sites appears to be replaceable and lasts 4 to 8 months.
The Swarovski Shine Vio Set, Swarovski Shine Slake Set, and Swarovski Shine Piofioria Set are shown on the Swarovski web site, however, at this time, the pre-order must be done at the Misfit web site. These sets include the actual activity tracker. Prices for the sets are $169 – $249. One article indicated that the sets would be available at Swarovski.com in the spring of 2015.
Additionally, pendant and wristband accessories (without the device tracker) can be pre-ordered at the Misfit web site: Serora Pendant, Lisea Pendant, Vio Pendant, Cardoon Leather Wristband, Cleyera Wristband, Piofioria Wristband, and Slake Bracelet (in light gray, medium gray, and black). Prices for the accessories are $69 – $149.
And that’s not all…. while I was researching for the article, I learned that yet another Swarovski Misfit tracker seem to be on the horizon! I found pictures of a purple stone in a navy or purple slake bracelet. The article with it sites that the purple one (Violet Swarovski Shine) is going to be a solar-powered fitness tracker! The launch date of the Swarovski solar powered activity tracker was not evident anywhere I looked.
The Misfit Solutions are shown in their store for pre-order: Swarovski Shine Collection as well as the Swarovski site: Swarovski Activity Tracker. Naturally, Misfit’s apps in Google Play and the Apple App Store allow users to get tracking information on their phone.
Seriously….seeing all this makes me want to track my activities just so I can get one! This is exciting new for fitness fanatics and Swarovski crystal fanatics alike!
