Swarovski and Misfit Introduce Solar-Powered Wearable
Misfit, maker of wearable and smart home products, recently announced Swarovski Shine, a collection of two new wearable products and nine unique, sparkling accessories, developed and designed by Swarovski and Misfit. The Swarovski Shine Collection incorporates Swarovski’s signature crystal and Misfit’s wireless activity and sleep-tracking technology. Two new, waterproof wearables compose the core of the collection: a clear Swarovski Shine and a violet Swarovski Shine, which uses a patented “energy crystal” technology to allow for efficient solar charging on a small surface to power itself. The latter is the world’s first wireless activity and sleep tracker that utilizes an energy-harvesting technology to eliminate need for charging or replaceable batteries; users simply expose Swarovski Shine to light to keep it charged. Both designs feature a large faceted crystal integrated into Misfit’s hardware, and automatically track steps, distance, calories burned, and sleep quality and duration. Learn more »
