While wearable tech is undoubtedly useful, it's not always the most stylish addition to an outfit. Enter the QBracelet [1] — the newest high-tech gadget that's rising to the challenge of combining fashion and function. The bracelet acts as an incognito phone charger, and unlike a lot of the more man-friendly wearables [2] out there, the unisex piece actually aims to add to an ensemble while sparing you from the woes of a dying (or dead) mobile device.
Alessandro Libani, COO of Q Designs [3], said that in regards to the final product [4], "both the function and the style of the bracelet were always at the forefront of everything we did," and based on the result, we can believe it.

The QBracelet ($99, $80 with a special preorder discount) is slim and contoured to fit your wrist and is available in mattes and metallics of black, gold, and silver. It contains a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that works with any USB port or power adapter and is compatible with a variety of smartphones, including Apple, Windows, and Android.

The bracelet, along with the release of more new wearable tech we actually want to wear, like Tory Burch's line for FitBit [5] and edgy costume-inspired rings from Ringly [6], has us betting that sooner or later we'll be decked head to toe in fashionable gadgets.
