making fitness trackers more fashionable

Fitness trackers—no matter what brand you use—are ugly. The bracelet models are silicone, rubber or plastic. Fitbit has one by designer Tony Burch that has a more attractive, jewelry like face, but it's still silicone.

My friend Angel has the Fitbit bracelet. It fits around her ankle when she works at Target, hidden under her trousers since jewelry is not allowed.

Her husband is a former goth, and nerdy comic book / video game boy.  He got his crafty gene from mom. And he likes to make jewelry.

Walla! Ugly FitBit bracelet gone, replaced by something just a little more her style. The FitBit element is hidden in the black pouch. It has a chain and a clasp. I'm sure by the time he is done playing with the design she'll have several.

Now he should have patented this design, because my zillions of readers will steal his idea. And it will go viral. Well maybe not. I just check Etsy. Other people had similar ideas. And some are really nice.

I was just about to email you that he started revising it!
