Verdict

The Misfit Ray is a minimalist, 8-gram, 12mm x 38mm cylindrical anodized aluminum tracker that utilizes a 3-axis accelerometer to track steps, calories, and sleep, offering 50-meter water resistance. Powered by replaceable batteries lasting up to 6 months, its key advantages include a versatile, jewelry-like design with interchangeable 8mm bands, always-on tracking, and a multicolor notification LED. Limitations include the lack of a screen or heart rate sensor, a finicky battery replacement process, and variable, sometimes inaccurate, tracking results.
