The Fitbit core pops into the pendant, which is suspended from a chain.\n\nImage:  Mashable, Sarah Fisher\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMetal Hinged Bracelet\nThis bracelet ($195) is also made of brass and holds the Fitbit core in place.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBack View\n\n\nImage: Mashable, Sarah Fisher\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSilicone Printed Bracelets\nThese bracelets ($39) are a fun alternative to the Fitbit's signature band.\n\nImage:  Mashable, Sarah Fisher\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDesigner Tory Burch officially launched her high-end accessory collection for the Fitbit Flex on Tuesday, bringing a stylish refresh to the unattractive fitness tracker design market.\nWhile fitness trackers become increasingly popular, their bands have developed a reputation for having a cheap, rubbery look. To make the technology nighttime ready and more like jewelry than something you'd wear to the gym, Tory Burch worked with the company to develop four accessories that house the Fitbit's core, which pops out of the wristband. The core is where the device holds its sensors that track activity, sleep cycle and so on.\nSee also: Why Are Smartwatches So Ugly?\nThe silicone printed bracelets ($38) \u2014 which come in Tory Burch signature colors (blue and pink) and prints \u2014 are the parts of the collection most like the Fitbit Flex's existing wristband. And similarly, they are a bit difficult to clasp \u2014 the rubber prongs have to be wedged into the allotted slots with a bit of force. \n\nBut the real standouts are the pendant necklace ($175) and the hinged bracelet ($195), both made of brass with decorate open framework that Tory Burch is known for. Although the material isn't of the highest quality, it quickly transforms the Flex tracker into an elegant accessory. Both pieces are stylish to wear alone, so the fact that these disguise a fitness tracker is an added bonus. It also lets you dodge questions about why you're wearing a tracker in the first place.\nWhile the partnership was announced earlier this year, the collection is now available for purchase at Fitbit.com, ToryBurch.com and select Tory Burch boutiques.\nHave something to add to this story?
