Verdict

The Misfit Flash is an ultra-lightweight, budget-friendly fitness tracker weighing just 6.0 grams and featuring a compact 28.5mm circular polycarbonate design. It utilizes a 3-axis accelerometer to monitor steps, distance, calories burned, and automatic sleep quality, while a halo of 12 red LEDs serves as a minimal interface for checking goal progress and time. Its standout characteristics include a water resistance rating of up to 30 meters, making it suitable for swimming, and a replaceable CR2032 coin cell battery that provides up to six months of life without recharging. Major pros include its exceptional battery longevity, versatile wearing options via an included wristband and clip, and a 'smart button' feature that can control music or take selfies. However, common cons include a lack of advanced sensors like a heart rate monitor or GPS, a plastic build that can feel cheap or fragile, and a rudimentary display that does not provide specific numerical data directly on the device.
