An attachment mechanism that can be used to attach a portable or wearable electronic device to a user. The attachment mechanism may include a band strap having multiple links that are configured to wrap around a user's wrist. The links of the band may be spring biased and allow the band to be secured to a wrist or other object as it transitions from an open to a closed position. The amount of spring bias may be adjusted or specially configured to attach the device comfortably yet securely.

A versatile jewelry includes a main body having an inner surface arranged to be worn against the wrist and an outer surface opposite the inner surface. First and second end portions define a clearance sized to receive the wrist when the main body is donned by the user. At least one retaining feature comprises a plurality of hooks. A hair band is adapted to be selectively secured to the main body via the at least one retaining feature and to span the clearance at a height above the inner surface. The at least one retaining feature maintains the hair band in place on the main body and distributes pressure from the hair band away from the wrist. The hair band has an elasticity and the main body has a rigidity arranged to maintain the hair band at a height above the inner surface across the clearance.

A wearable smart device have a display, a body configured to support the display by having a prescribed curvature to be worn on a user body of a user, a band configured to be detachably coupled with the body by having a prescribed curvature, a first connector configured to couple a first end portion of the band to the body, the first connector configured to separate the first end portion of the band from the body, and a second connector configured to couple a second end portion of the band opposing the first end portion to the body, the second connector configured to separate the second end portion of the band opposing the first end portion from the body. A first direction for separating the band from the body in the first connector is different from a second direction for separating the band from the body in the second connector.

Portable decorative element with a metal structure (2) made from cutout metal plate with decorative openings, on the back face of which there is a lining forming a plate that can be seen through these openings, that can be elastically bent (4), the back face of the metal plate comprising attachment means (10, 12) holding the lining (4) in place and clamping this lining, pressing it into contact with the back face of the structure.

An adjustable bending force assembly is described for use with components that are securable to objects via applied bending force. In implementations, the adjustable bending force assembly is formed as part of a band that exerts bending force upon objects inserted within the band (e.g., between the ends of the band). The adjustable bending force assembly includes one or more stiffener elements that are adjustably positionable at multiple different positions along a length of the band to vary the amount of bending force. In one approach, the stiffener elements are configured as plates that slide into different positions to adjust the bending force. The adjustable bending force assembly may be included as an integrated component of a wearable device, such as a watch or headband. Alternatively, a band can be configured as a separate component to which a device can readily be attached and detached through manual force.

Bracelet for a timepiece, the bracelet comprising at least a first strap section and a second strap section, each strap section comprising a first end adapted to be joined to a watchcase and a second end joined to a foldable clasp, the foldable clasp being arranged such that it exhibits an unfolded state, in which said second ends are at a maximum separation, and a folded state, in which said second ends are maintained at a minimum separation, the first strap section comprising at least one first electrical component and the second strap section comprising at least one second electrical component.

The first electrical component is permanently electrically connected to the second electrical component of at least one electrical wire passing through the foldable clasp, wherein the foldable clasp comprises at least a first clasp section and a second clasp section joined by a first hinge, the electrical wire passing through a passageway provided through each of the first clasp section, the second clasp section and the first hinge.

A cuff for a watch includes a pair of arcuately shaped arms and a pair of connectors, each detachably connected to a different side of the body of a watch. Each arm is detachably coupled to a different connector. The pair of arms cooperate to define an opening opposite the body of the watch when the arms are coupled to the connectors and the connectors are coupled to the body of the watch. The arms laterally flex outward to allow an object to pass through the opening without breaking.
