Wearable fitness trackers are still hot, despite many phone apps that claim to track your activities just as accurately. You see them around the wrists of fitness newbies and junkies, who proudly parade them like they’re extensions of their identities. But chances are, when you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all.

If you’re looking for something more sleek and stylish, check out Misfit Shine. It’s waterproof up to 50 meters, has a watch function, and tracks it all—your activities (steps, calories burned, distance covered), your sleep quality and duration, and your food via a daily photo food journal. And as long as you have the matching accessories, you can also wear it on your shoes, waist, pocket, neck, or wherever you want (as long as it’s attached to your body).

It is made of anodized aircraft-grade aluminum, weighs a mere 9.4 grams, and uses a coin cell battery that lasts up to six months so you won’t have to charge every so often. You’ll need to sync it with your phone, though, for you to keep track of things.

Compatible with the iOS and Android, the Misfit Shine comes in gray, jet, topaz, champagne, storm, coral, wine, sea glass, ekocycle shine, and Coca-Cola red colors. It’s available at PowerMac stores for P5,900.
