Stylish bracelet charges wearers’ smartphones

QBracelet is a minimalist wristband that can give smartphones extra power when there's no available outlet.

We’ve already seen headphones designer handbags equipped with phone charging capabilities, so it was only a matter of time before the items we wear became able to provide some extra juice for our devices. QBracelet is a minimalist wristband that can give smartphones extra power when there’s no available outlet.

The jewelry piece takes the form of a single band available in silver, gold or black that is able to easily clip on and off the wrist. When unclipped, the bracelet reveals a USB or Apple Lightning charger, connected to a battery inside that can provide up to 60 percent extra charge to the average smartphone. The lightweight device is designed primarily as a stylish wristband, but offers convenient charging in any situation. The bracelet can even remain connected during phone calls without making the phone awkward to hold.
