When it comes to subtly tracking how much you've moved in a day, there's no better way than the Shine Activity Monitor. Created by Misfit Wearables, Shine lets you inconspicuously track how much you've moved throughout the day. The gadget itself is a faceless disk that can be worn on a sportband, necklace, watchband or even a small clip. The idea is that you can wear it all day without running the risk of looking silly or overly sporty.
The Shine Activity Monitor can currently track walking/running, cycling, swimming and sleep. Shine works with an iPhone app that allows you to track and monitor data and set goals for yourself. You can track your progress by tapping the face; tapping the face also lets you check the time. The Shine Activity Monitor is available now for $119.95.
