Chromat Misfit Shine Tracks Health And Glows
This tracking device glows to demonstrate to everyone just how your pursuit of perfect health is going.
(The Chromat Shine Arm Band)
Misfit Shine is a sleek aircraft-grade aluminium tracker for a stylish way to monitor your workout regime. Sync the disc with your smartphone and the LED lights will illuminate like a digital fuel gauge to indicate your activity progress.The rubber wrist strap makes it suitable for swimmers and the separate magnetic clasp adds a versatile styling element.
This device reminds me of the palm flower from the 1967 novel Logan's Run. In the case of the novel, though, the device warns about life stages, and of course, the ultimate wall.
