Shine's CEO, Sonny Vu, admits that the app is currently 'version 0.9,' in a sense more features and firmware updates will likely be coming soon as the device makes it out into the wild, but it bears noting that, much like with the Pebble, you'll be in for a bit of kink-ironing-out if you buy one now. The Shine counts off a virtual guesstimate of the days' continuous calorie burn in addition to activity/calorie computing. Even at my weight, that seems pretty impossible. The calorie-counting algorithm also seemed pretty generous: after a day of activity amounting to 10,000 steps, I was told I'd burned nearly 3,000 calories. Also, you have to preset what that activity is in your iPhone app and sync it with the Shine: in other words, if you don't swap the activity tag from 'Sleep' to 'Swimming,' your triple-tap before an hour of doing the backstroke will be counted as a 60-minute nap. To track any activity other than walking or running, you have to triple-tap, which starts a separate log. Syncing generally worked well, with occasional hiccups where the Shine didn't seem to receive my test-unit iPhone 5's ping. This is, after all, a startup product.Īdmittedly it's early days for the Misfit Shine, but it's an odd device to use. An API will be available for future cross-compatibility potential, but I'd recommend making sure you feel comfortable with the limited but compelling feature set the Shine currently offers, just to be on the safe side. You're on your own specially designed health island for the moment. It can get a little annoying.ĭata collected on the app doesn't go anywhere else yet: there's no Web access or cloud syncing, and the Shine's data isn't compatible with other apps or ecosystems. To swap tags, you need to resync the Shine with your phone, and pop it back out of its wristband/clip (keeping it in, alas, seems to hamper syncing). You can only assign one activity tag at a time - cycling, swimming, or sleeping - each of which uses its own algorithm. The Shine can record swimming and cycling activity as well as walking, but to do that you need to triple-tap the device to start a special activity that gets tagged differently. A week view expands the data field view a bit, but the app is pretty minimal: distance, estimated calorie count, and steps taken are pretty much the only data points recorded. Each day has its own graph of activity, and little award badges are displayed for personal bests and milestones. (To that end, the Fendi Baguette collection runway show was already rolling on an enormous video billboard in Herald Square when guests exited.The app's clean, flat design already feels like an extension of iOS 7's aesthetic. But Fendi kept it all in the LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton family by tapping Marc Jacobs, whose ‘90s downtown New York rebel spirit was obviously on Jones’ mind, even if it was cloaked somewhat in au courant commercialism. The one-off collection follows the tie-up trend that has spawned Gucci x Adidas and Burberry x Supreme, to name just two. New versions of the actual bag came in Tiffany Blue, Swarovski crystal-covered, or in hand-molded sterling silver made over into bum bags, backpacks or nano cuties swinging from belt loops.

No doubt it will all be gobbled up at retail when it goes on sale next month, even if the tulle overlay tailoring, sequined slips and bias-cut dresses (Precious Lee’s, for one) could have been executed with more polished precision.

Vivid hued boiler suits, fleece vests, sweatshirts, bucket hats, beanies, gators, socks, clogs and more were tricked out with baguette-inspired cargo pockets and Fendi “FF” logos. In Jones’ hands, it isn’t just a bag, it’s a collection of ‘90s-reminiscent streetwear.
