Ray versus Misfit Shine 2
Misfit Shine 2 is discontinued. Here's what a current alternative looks like.
Misfit Shine 2 was a minimal aluminum disc that ran for months on a coin cell, with no charging at all. It has been discontinued and its service shut down. If you liked its low-maintenance design, Ray is a current tracker in the same spirit: no charger, plus continuous heart-rate sensing and a supported app.
The short answer
Shine 2 is only worth researching for its design history. If you want a current tracker you never have to charge, Ray is one option.
Misfit Shine 2 status: Discontinued / legacy.
Side by side
Specs are manufacturer claims and US pricing snapshots, not lab-test results. A blank promise is less useful than a clear tradeoff, so we keep this list deliberately practical.
