CES 2015: Misfit Unveils New Swarovski Shine Fitness Wearables

[MacRumors]

Misfit kicked off its CES 2015 by introducing the Swarovski Shine Collection, a collaboration between the fitness wearables company and the well-known crystal jewelry maker. The new Swarovski Shine Collection includes the Swarovski Shine Activity Tracking Crystal and accompanying accessories.

The Swarovski Shine Activity Tracking Crystal is a Swarovski crystal with Misfit's fitness and sleep-monitoring sensors. The clear version is powered by a replaceable battery, while the violet Swarovski Shine is charged using patented solar power technology.

This is the world's first wireless activity and sleep monitor that utilizes an energy harvesting technology to enable it to never require charging or replacing of batteries. Simply expose the violet Swarovski Shine to light to keep it charged.

Both the clear and violet versions of the Swarovski Shine are waterproof, and similar to previous Misfit Shine models, the Swarovski Shine tracks activity, monitors sleep, and includes a connected iOS app for food and weight logging.

The Swarovski Shine will be sold with a variety of optional accessories including slake bracelets, pendants, and wristbands. The clear version will be available in three sets that include two accessories each, with prices ranging from $169.99 to $249.99. Pricing on the violet version has yet to be announced.

This looks terrible. The smart watch/activity trackers seem to be the thing at this years CES, but of all the ones reported here at MR, this seems the worst so far,, IMO.

No doubt Swarovski makes great optical instruments (like B+L used to), but their kitch & schmuck jewlery is so tacky ...

At least now I know which wearable device I don't need to consider. I don't even care what functionality it may offer.

Let's see how many crystals we can pack into a smart watch!

Looks like a cheap prop from Lord of the Rings.

Haters...this looks nice from a female perspective, it's just about $120 overpriced.

But I thought that high-end jewelry makers weren't scared of the Apple Watch...

Please don't generalize. Women with taste will avoid this junk. This was made for Liberace and he has been dead for ages.

Well it's just the perspective of two women I live with, who likes a few of the designs a lot. Please don't generalize.

Well I was exaggerating. However I question the taste of an adult liking the design of a 1 inch fake jewel embedded in a piece of plastic. The only remotely adult or stylish example of a piece of jewelry is the Serora pendant.
