Misfit Watch Buyer's Guide

-HIGH-END-

Misfit Vapor 2 | $249.99 to $269.99

The Vapor is Misfit's top-shelf offering. It sports most of the bells and whistles associated with high-end smartwatches, like a heartbeat monitor, Apple/Android compatibility, and water resistance. It will play music without the need to pair with a phone and comes with GPS built-in to serve in fitness tracking. 

Forever important in the watch industry, Misfit watches are also gorgeous products, carrying a clean rendition of the minimal design theme dominating today's tech. Misfit's only full-brained smartwatch, the Vapor is made with a high-contrast screen, with apps and icons arranged tastefully in the, yet unconventional, round display space. Two sizes, a 41mm and 46mm, act as de-facto his and hers variants. 

Misfit Vapor | $189.99 to $219.99

The first Vapor, available only in 44mm, can be brought home for about $50 less than than the new model. It lacks GPS and mobile payment capability. The Vapor line of watches are Misfit's only products with smart-enabled watch faces.

-MID-LEVEL-

Misfit Path | $113.99 to $169.99

Misfit's mid-level watches are hybrids. They're smart, but their faces don't show it. Tricks like sleep tracking, step counting, and music are all hidden under a traditionally elegant face and controlled through a simplified button layout. The Path from Misfit is made in seven alignments and colors. The most attractive pairing is the champagne watch on a lavender sport strap.

Misfit Command | $109.99 to $169.99

The Misfit Command appears to be the mid-level men's option. The watch's face includes a full sixty-second counter along the outer edge that gives it a decidedly sporty look, even in stainless steel. Like the path, the Command features a few basic tracking and notification functions. It is made in thirteen variations, all stylish and smart, inside and out.

-BUDGET-

Misfit Phase | $29.99 to $49.99

The Phase is also a hybrid, combining design elements from both the Command and Path at an affordable, entry-level price point. The Phase is a solid option for tech-savvy teens. It is available in twenty-one colors, although some are sold only as refurbished or preowned items. Either way, this is a phenomenal product for the price.

Misfit Shine 2 | $19.99

The Shine 2 is a round-faced stepping stone between the Ray and Phase, giving users a slightly larger interface with which to control apps, capture readings, and catch the time. It's swim-proof, like each of these models, and can be popped out and into seven differently hued silicon straps.

Misfit Ray | $19.99

The Misfit Ray is a simple-looking fitness tracking band with more under the hood than meets the eye. It can track and measure many of the same actions as Misfit's more complex models, only lacking a watch face. It is available in twenty-six vibrant variants, including a flashy all-gold model and a paracord strapped version for plugged-in adventurers.
