Super affordable activity tracking ; Discreet design ; Long battery life

Tracker has fallen off when worn on shorts ; Some smart modes more gimmicky than useful ; Need to sync tracker to switch between different modes is irrirating ; Have to switch between Misfit apps to use activity tracking

The Misfit Flash Link is super-affordable activity tracker but the smart control features leave plenty of room for improvement.

Improved, more secure design ; Automatic sleep tracking ; Good value for money

Still lacks in-depth data analysis ; Not as good-looking as the Shine

might be a little older now, and doesn’t match the Shine for battery, but it can be bought for around £60 and has an ecosystem that does a much better job of helping you make serious changes to your lifestyle.

Comfortable ; Affordable ; Durable ; Great battery life

Inaccurate ; Difficult to read ; App could be better ; Lacks features

As wearables continue to become more commonplace, they're continuing to push forward in more spaces, including the fashion industry.

Small and subtle, colourful, cheap, app is great, six-month battery life, Spotify integration

Design looks cheap, accuracy not brilliant, device interface frustrating to use, no high-end GPS/heart-rate features

The Misfit Flash is a tricky activity tracker to place, one that we think is best for beginners on a budget. It is cheap, cheerful and small enough to go unnoticed, but on the other side of the coin its accuracy isn't to sniper standards.

Extremely low-cost; water resistant for swimming or showering; built-in progress meter display; replaceable battery lasts up to six months; has bonus smart-button features

Choosing between fitness tracking and smart button functions involves toggling between two apps; some smart button features don't work as advertised; rudimentary display and single-button operation can get confusing for advanced functions.

Misfit's entry-level fitness tracker gets the job done at a supercheap price, but its 'smart button' functions leave a lot to be desired.

I've enjoyed my time with the Misfit Flash, and I'm going to continue using it, however I'd hesitate to recommend it over some of its rivals, including the Fitbit One, which sits at the top of our activity tracker chart.For £50, though, it's got a...

The Misfit Flash is waterproof, lasts six months on a single battery, comes with a wristband and clip-on accessory, works with iOS and Android, and tracks steps and sleep.

Lacks a heart rate monitor; plastic design feels a little cheap; LED readout shows daily progress and blinks hours and minutes, but doesn't show step count.

The Misfit Flash is a versatile, easy-to-use and extremely affordable fitness tracker that can be worn swimming, too, and it even kind of works as a watch.

Misfit’s onto a winning formula with its tiny, button-sized trackers, first evidenced with the Shine, and the latest member of the family has now arrived in the form of the Flash. It packs in many of the same features as the Shine, but all for a...

While the Flash is a simple, yet effective tracker, it’s also where it falls short for fitness buffs. It only measures how long you ran or swam for, and “relative intensity”, which is pretty vague compared to GPS fitness watches that can log your exact...

For £49.99, the Misfit Flash is an absolute bargain to help increase your overall fitness for only half the price of the original Shine, especially if you were eyeing up a Fitbit Flex or a Nike+ FuelBand. As long as you don’t expect it to help with...
