lifeDifficult to readLacks some important featuresIf price is your main focus, you may want to opt for the Misfit Flash
You can get this tracker for so little money now we were surprised while writing this guide.We originally gave the Misfit Flash a three star
review, which isn't very good, but since the price has dropped we think this tracker is a lot better value now and worth picking up if
you're looking for something very simple to track your steps.It won't be able to do a lot of what the other trackers on this list can do
though, so if you want much more than a glorified pedometer you should look elsewhere.Read our Misfit Flash
