Misfit Speedo Shine 2 is a new swim tracker for swimmers

Misfit last year, teamed up with Speedo and launched the Speedo Shine fitness tracker. Now both companies have teamed up once again to launch the Speedo Shine 2, aimed at swimmers. Much like the Speedo Shine, the Speedo Shine 2 is also an activity, swim and sleep tracker, but borrows some new features from Misfit Shine 2.

The Speedo Shine 2 can accurately track a swimmer's lap count and swim distance. It also allows you to set workout timers and when the countdown is complete, it alerts you with a gentle vibe. The wearable's lap counting algorithms can keep track of lap counts across all stroke types.

It sports a durable aircraft-grade aluminum design and is waterproof for up to 50 meters. The tracker has 12 LEDs which tells the time and is capable of displaying more than 16 million potential colors to depict different  notifications. It can also notify you of incoming calls, texts and reminder alerts by vibrating. For advanced activity and sleep tracking packs 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis magnetometer. It promises six months of battery life on single charge.

All the collected data on the wearable can be synced smartphones/tablets with Misfit app, or to Speedo's swim-tracking app called Speedo Fit. The wearable is compatible with Android (v4.0+) and iOS (v7+) devices and connects to them via Bluetooth.

Priced at $120 (Rs. 8,000), the Speedo Shine 2 will go on sale in the coming weeks. Misfit is also introducing a $10 in-app purchase for the Misfit Ray and Shine 2, which will enable tracking and lap counting features on these devices.
