Startup Monday: Misfit
Startup Monday is ABCey’s weekly post that features some of the best and brightest companies in the Bay Area. They are often companies that we have our eye on, or have worked with in the past and would like to share with the friends and followers of ABCey Events.
Working events can easily double as a daily workout with the amount of running around it takes! Thankfully with the sleek, fashionable and subtle fitness tracking wear MISFIT offers, you can finally keep tabs on your fitness and look professional while doing it.
The product itself is a work of genius with its durability and design. It is made from aircraft grade aluminum with an LED display, and is water resistant. But, the most amazing thing about it is no charging ever! In a world where most modern tech is still tied down with countless wires and battery’s, this is something ABCey can get behind.
MISFIT specializes in wearable watches, jewelry, and even apparel that is so subtle no one will ever know it’s a fitness tracker. These items boast of the newest in fitness tech! Here are some MISFIT app features that make it so great:
1. Tracks your steps, calories, and distance.
2. Monitors your sleep pattern.
3. Makes meal planning easy with food journal.
Another thing we love about MISFIT is the unique styles and designs that they offer. Our favorite is the Swarovski Shine collection that features a clear crystal face with a complimenting detailed wrap band that make it the perfect nighttime event accessory.
