Swarovski, a leading producer of cut crystals, has launched a fully waterproof wearable which uses a patented “energy crystal” technology to allow for solar charging on a small surface to power itself.

The violet Swarovski Shine 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.

The new Swarovski Shine collection also includes a wearable with a brilliant crystal face.

The exclusive collection of two new wearable products and nine unique, sparkling accessories was developed and designed by Swarovski and Misfit, maker of wearable and smart home products.

The Swarovski Shine Collection reinterprets iconic Swarovski jewellery and introduces brand-new designs, all incorporating Swarovski’s signature crystal and Misfit’s wireless activity and sleep tracking technology, for a collection that is glamorous, modern, and versatile.

Both designs feature a large faceted crystal integrated into Misfit’s hardware, and automatically track steps, distance, calories burned, and sleep quality and duration.

"Shine is the first truly fashion forward activity tracker, and Swarovski leads the way in the fashion jewellery and accessories market globally. This collaboration pushes the envelope as to how beautiful technology can be,” said wearables designer and author of Fashioning Tech, Syuzi Pakhchyan.

The collection is now available for pre-order in the US exclusively on misfit.com, and will be for sale this spring also in Swarovski retail locations in the US, Hong Kong, and China and on Swarovski.com. – TradeArabia News Service
