Misfit Teams with Pebble For Smartwatch Fitness App

June 26, 2014 by Benjamin J. Roethig

Pebble is getting a fitness capability and its all thanks to a well-known name. You may know Misfit from the Shine, a fitness tracker that is as fashionable as it is useful. Misfit is bringing an app with its fitness tracking technology to the Pebble. The app will count steps and activities on the Pebble. The Misfit Pebble app will also communicate with the Misfit iOS app. Pebble may be the latest, but not the last. The company has let it be known they are willing to bring their technology to other platforms as well.

Misfit, Pebble Partner to Bring Fitness Tracking to All Pebble Users

BURLINGAME, CA June 24, 2014- Misfit, makers of Shine, an elegant fitness and sleep monitor, today announced the launch of the Misfit app for Pebble, bringing Misfit’s activity tracking to all Pebble users.

Part of a long-term partnership and integration effort between Misfit and Pebble, the Misfit app for Pebble is the first step toward bringing Misfit’s user experience and algorithms to the Pebble smartwatch.

The Misfit app for Pebble is now available in the Pebble appstore and allows users to easily see steps and activity with a single glance at their Pebble smartwatch. The Misfit app for Pebble will integrate with the Misfit iOS app, enabling users to set activity goals, track their progress, and share and compete with friends.

“We’re delighted to provide our fitness tracking technology to Pebble; we want to see this capability offered to as many users as possible,” said Sonny Vu, founder and CEO of Misfit.

Misfit makes its proprietary data science and sensor algorithms available to third party software and device makers to add its fitness and sleep monitoring capabilities to almost any product, including apps, smartwatches, and other wearables. Contact partners@misfit.com for more information.
