A strap for a wearable physiological monitor can be adjusted to a desired tension. The strap may include a buckle that retains a length of the strap as the strap is removed from and replaced to the wearable physiological monitor. In this manner, one or more straps may be removed and replaced without requiring readjustment of strap length for a particular user.

Wearable electronic devices, such as watches, can be provided with an attachment system for connecting and releasing a removable module that interfaces with some portion of the electronic device. For example, a watch housing includes a main body having a channel for receiving a watchband and a first opening extending to the channel. A rear cover coupled to the main body provides a second opening. A unibody button is positioned between the main body and the rear cover. The button is biased against the rear cover and is moveable toward the channel to release a watchband engaged therein.

A wearable electronic device according to an embodiment may comprise: a housing and a wearable member. The housing may include a seating area recessed in at least a part of the side surface of the housing. The wearable member may be separably connected to the seating area. The seating area may include at least one first connecting portion on both sidewalls in one axial direction. The wearable member may comprise: a link assembly coupled to the seating area to be releasable therefrom; and a strap. The link assembly may include a pair of first sidewalls, each facing one of the two sidewalls of the housing. The link assembly may include at least one second connecting portion arranged on at least a part of the first sidewalls and engaged with the first 10 connecting portion. The strap may include: a first portion encompassing at least a part of the link assembly; and/or a second portion extending from the first portion. At least a part of the first portion may be arranged between the seating area and the link assembly.

A strap for a wearable device comprises a printed circuit board (PCB) located within said strap. The PCB comprises a first electronic component, coupled to a first flexible portion. The first electronic component is mounted to a cage, the cage comprising a cage pivot mount. The flexible portion is under tension and urges said first electronic component towards said cage pivot mount such that a pivotable connection is formed between said cage and said first electronic component. Also disclosed is a method of manufacture of the strap.

The present invention concerns a fastening member for a strand of a bracelet, adapted to be removably connected to a watch case. The fastening member has a housing in which are held a first and a second pad arranged so as to be able to slide in a direction transverse to the length of the strand and to cooperate respectively with a first and a second pivot secured to the lugs of the watch case; an elastic member arranged so as to move the first and second pads away from each other; and a lock arranged, on the one hand, to lock the fastening member when the lock is in a locked position and, on the other hand, to allow the fastening member to be disconnected from the watch case when the lock is actuated to be brought into an unlocked position and a force allowing the fastening member to be separated from the watch case is applied against the elastic member. According to the invention, the lock and the first and second pads are configured so that the actuation of the lock from the locked position to the unlocked position does not transmit any movement to said first and second pads.

An electronic device includes: a housing including a pin; and a strap detachably coupled to the housing. The strap includes: a coupling groove that includes a first end that surrounds the pin and a second end that is open toward a first surface of the strap; and a button including an inclined surface that is inclined with respect to the first surface of the strap and slidable relative to the pin. A first portion of the button is movable into or out of the coupling groove, wherein a gap between the first portion of the button and an inner surface of the coupling groove is expanded as the button moves in a first direction toward a second surface of the strap opposite to the first surface of the strap, and wherein the gap is reduced as the button moves in a second direction opposite to the first direction.

A connector including a cylindrical member which has a stopper provided on an end and an opening provided in an outer circumferential surface while extending to the end along an axial direction, a slide member arranged in the cylindrical member, and an operation member attached to the slide member through the opening of the cylindrical member.

A watch according to an embodiment, whose strap is replaceable, improves in maintainability and ensures that outward appearance is not of low quality. The watch according to an embodiment includes an exterior case having a pair of strap-attaching parts with insertion holes formed so as to face each other; an elastic pin formed of a built-in elastic body, having both ends inserted in the insertion holes of the pair of strap-attaching parts, and thereby being held by the strap-attaching parts; a connecting block disposed at one end of a strap and having a bottom surface with a groove formed therein, the connecting block connecting the strap to the exterior case by the pin held by the strap-attaching parts being housed in the groove; and a cover covering the groove housing the pin. An operating part to be operated to shorten both ends of the pin so that the pin is removable from the strap-attaching parts is formed on a side surface of the pin. The cover leaves a position corresponding to the operating part open so that the operating part is operable from outside with the pin housed in the groove.

A wearable electronic device is provided. The wearable electronic device includes a housing including a link bar, a coupling member connected to the housing, a first magnet connected to the link bar, a second magnet connected to the coupling member and attached to the first magnet, and a magnet case connected to the coupling member, surrounding at least a portion of the second magnet, and including a protrusion configured to contact the link bar.

A band-holding mechanism includes a band, a holding member, and an intermediate member. The band includes a first pin arranged in an engagement-side end portion with a case. The first pin extends in a width direction of the band. The holding member is configured to hold the band with the first pin caught on the holding member. The intermediate member supports the holding member. The intermediate member is attached to the case or inseparable from the case.
