Misfit Speedo Shine tries to seduce swimmers

February 27, 2020

The Misfit Speedo Shine is the result of a collaboration between Misfit and Speedo; you would have suspected it. This half rebranding of the standard Misfit Shine, already very good for swimmers, looks very promising.

 

 

The Misfit Speedo Shine is still waterproof up to 50 meters, is still able to follow the exercise you are doing via a 3-axis accelerometer and works for six months without needing to recharge it. But what is Speedo doing in this beautiful equation?

In fact, Speedo helped Misfit boost the accuracy of its swimmer tracking by developing the product in its Aqualab in Nottingham, UK. They have thus improved the algorithms making it possible to measure the lengths made by swimmers in the pool and thus obtain the distance traveled and the calories burned. Obviously, you will find all this information on the Speedo Fit app. Information on sleep, running, cycling and other sports is available on the Misfit app.

For the moment, Misfit has not given any information concerning the compatibility of its old trackers with the new application. Speedo Fit. The product is expected to be available from September 1 for $ 79.99. It will be sold on the brand's website, Speedo stores and exclusively in Apple Stores. The product will be offered in a completely new color; the "pure" color very close to pale gray. It will be sold with two bracelets.
