Verdict

The Misfit Link is a lightweight, 6-gram fitness tracker and programmable smart button housed in a 28.5mm circular polycarbonate body. It features a 3-axis accelerometer to monitor steps, distance, calories burned, and sleep quality, while a ring of 12 LEDs displays goal progress and time. A standout characteristic is its versatility; through the Link app, the single-button interface can be programmed to control music, take selfies, or advance presentation slides. Pros include its affordable price point, 30-meter water resistance suitable for swimming, and a replaceable CR2032 coin cell battery that lasts up to six months, eliminating the need for charging. However, cons include a cheap plastic build, the absence of a heart rate monitor or GPS, and the inconvenience of having to toggle between different apps to switch between fitness tracking and smart button functions.
