The Consumer Electronics Show is chock with wearables, but Misfit reckons its new tracker is the “most versatile” yet.
Misfit has announced a brand new activity wearable – the Misfit Ray Fitness and Sleep Monitor.
The new device is the latest addition to the company’s “design-forward” wearable range.
To that end, Misfit has opted for a chic cylindrical aluminium body that can be worn on the wrist or as a necklace.
The tracker measures 12mm in diameter and is 38mm long – “Ray can be elegant or sporty, sensual or bold, striking or subtle”, apparently.
But it’s not all about looks. The Ray tracks activity and sleep with a 3-axis accelerometer, and comes with an integrated vibration motor for “nuanced user feedback”.
It’s also got a single multicolour LED eye, which can notify you of texts and calls. The motor also works as a silent alarm.

He continues: “Ray’s design distills the essential performance of our wearables and opens up a world of style possibilities.”
Unsurprisingly, the Misfit Ray is compatible with Misfit’s custom-built Misfit Link software, which lets you turn the wearable into a remote control.
This means you can use the device to turn on lights, communication wit friends, change music, take selfies, and more.
