GreenInSync 10-pack

Fitbits are supposed to follow you wherever you go, so you might not want some elegant bracelet that's going to get scuffed up at the best of times. GreenInSync's silicone bands are a harder silicone and a little more rugged than the other silicone bands on this list, making them ideal for your more intense workouts.

These come in a pack of 10, so don't be afraid to get a little rough and tumble with them. There are two 10-packs to choose from, each with different colors or different shades of certain colors, or you can opt for 5- or 3-pack.

Make sure you choose the right pack and size (small or large) before checking out.
