Targeting those who simply don't indulge in the latest tech advancements, the Misfit Flash is an extremely affordable fitness and sleep tracker that retails for $50.
Available at Best Buy, Target and Walmart next month, the Misfit Flash is meant to be used with the accompanying Misfit app. With no screen to speak of, it is only natural that it would be a cheaper product. A simple sequence of dots informs people at a glance whether they are meeting their daily goals.
