The Misfit Flash Link is an all-in-one activity tracker and 'smart' button. You can track your steps, monitor your sleep and even take it for a swim, just like you can with the Misfit Shine and Flash. You can also control smartphone features...
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.

Misfit's £50 activity tracker is as feature-packed as the Shine
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.

The least flashy fitness tracker you can get
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.

The Misfit Flash is an activity tracker and the follow-up to the Misfit Shine which launched back in 2013. The new model follows a similar design cue but swaps metal for plastic and slashes the price by half, making it the cheapest activity tracker out...
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.

Fitness tracker! Selfie remote! And super-affordable. But it's a tiny bit more confusing than it needs to be.
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.

If you're already familiar with the £99 Misfit Flash, you'll notice that the first area the company has managed to cut back on to reduce the price is design. Instead of the sleek, smooth aluminium finish of the Misfit Shine, the Flash is made with...
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...

It counts steps and sleep, can be worn on your wrist or clipped on your belt, and it's cheap: the Misfit Flash is worth its price and then some.
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.

The Misfit Flash is an affordable, discreet fitness tracker. It's cheaper than the Misfit Shine - swapping the metal body for plastic - and comfortable to wear, but can it accurately track fitness? We've tested this fitness tracker to find out.

Today I'll be taking a look at their latest fitness tracker product, the Misfit Flash, a small, highly affordable fitness tracker...

The Misfit Flash is the latest in a sea of fitness trackers and wearables, but this tiny titan stands out for its sheer simplicity and price. Just like the Misfit Shine before it, you won't find a display of any form packed in here to bring your...
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...
