The pendant accessory depicted herein may be part of a complementary system of accessories for a wearable fitness monitor, i.e., the same wearable fitness monitor may be inserted into any of the accessories according to the immediate needs of the wearer, e.g., the pendant accessory may be used in more formal settings, such as formal dinners, whereas other accessories may be more suited to everyday use or in more active settings, such as during an exercise session.

The pendant accessory may feature a cage portion that may be opened via a hinge mechanism to allow the wearable fitness monitor to be inserted (see FIG. 17 ). The pendant accessory may also optionally include a logo plate or nameplate, e.g., the elongate octagonal plate centered in the top view of the pendant accessory, which may include a logo, design, pattern, or other artistic embellishment. The pendant accessory may be attached to a strand, chain, or lanyard that may, for example, connect to the U-shaped attachment point on the pendant accessory.

Stipple shading is used in all of the accompanying Figures to convey surface contouring and not texture. The depicted pendant accessory may be made from any of a variety of materials, including metals or plastics.

The Fitbit logo is represented in broken lines and is also bounded by a boundary rectangle depicted with dash-dot-dash lines to indicate unclaimed environmental structure. The boundary rectangle is used to indicate a transition from claimed subject matter to unclaimed environmental structure, as evidenced by the absence of shading within the boundary rectangle and the presence of shading outside of the boundary rectangle.
