Misfit, the company that makes wearable activity trackers, today announced Swarovski Shine, an exclusive collection of fashion-conscious devices.
Developed and designed in partnership with the well-known crystal-maker, the Swarovski Shine Collection borrows the look of Swarovski jewelry and signature crystal for Misfit's wireless activity and sleep tracking devices.
The collection is comprised of two waterproof devices and nine accessories. Of the main products, Misfit and Swarovski are offering a clear Swarovski Shine with a brilliant crystal face (bling!) and a violet Swarovski Shine that uses a patented "energy crystal" solar-charging technology (bling! bling!). The violet Swarovski Shine, therefore, never has to have its battery replaced, so long as it gets adequate exposure to light.
Both trackers have a large, faceted crystal, and they track steps, distance, and calories burned, as well as sleep quality and duration.
Misfit is best known for its first activity tracker, the sleek and elegant Misfit Shine, and its newer and less expensive sibling, the Misfit Flash. The new Swarovski devices are similar in their general shape and size, but are much more glamorous looking than the others.
The new collection is available for pre-order in the U.S. now on Misfit.com, and will also be for sale this spring in Swarovski retail locations in the U.S., Hong Kong, China, and on Swarovski.com.
