Misfit and Speedo launch the Speedo Shine swim tracker
Fitness tracker company Misfit makes various products that can track steps, sleep quality, and other stats. Misfit today announced the launch of the “Speedo Shine,” a new activity tracker that’s been designed in partnership with Speedo, a company known for its swimwear and swimming accessories.
The Speedo Shine is waterproof and features lap counting algorithms to measure laps taken when in the pool. According to Misfit and Speedo, the lap tracking capabilities feature “industry-leading accuracy” and have been tested at Speedo’s Aqualab.
Lap counting will work for all stroke types, and the data that’s collected is displayed in the Misfit app for iOS. The app collects information on lap count, swim distance, calories burned, and fitness points earned. Soon, the Speedo Shine will also sync with the Speedo Fit swim tracking app.
As with the existing Misfit Shine, the new Speedo Shine is a circular activity tracker worn on the wrist. It’s crafted from aluminum and available in a new light silver color the company calls “Pure” with a black or white band.
The Speedo Shine with swim tracking capabilities will launch on September 1 and it will be sold in Apple retail stores, on Misfit’s website, and on Speedo’s website. It is priced at $79.99.
