There is disclosed a wearable item. The wearable item includes at least one elongate member for supporting at least one attachable element. The elongate member is fabricated from an inner core that is surrounded by at least one outer layer. The at least one outer layer is elastic when strained by application of stress below a first elastic limit. The inner core is elastic when strained by application of stress below a second elastic limit or permanently deformed when strained by application of stress above the second elastic limit.

There is provided a locking device for locking a wrist/leg worn device, the locking device comprising: a receiver unit having a frame structure that defines a cavity, wherein the frame structure comprises a locking edge; and a lock unit comprising a lock bar, wherein the frame structure defines an opening to the cavity configured to receive the lock bar through a sliding movement of the lock bar into the cavity such that once the lock bar is received within the cavity the lock bar engages the locking edge so as to lock the receiver unit and the lock unit together.

Techniques are described herein for a wearable device that is configured to prevent unauthorized removal and to facilitate detection of unauthorized removal attempts or tampering with a band of the device. The wearable device includes one or more circuit systems, each of which is configured to conduct an electric current. Attempts to remove the device cause components of one or more of the circuit systems to break/fail, which disrupts the electric currents of the broken circuit systems. Such electric current disruptions are detected by the wearable device as evidence of an unauthorized removal attempt or tampering with the device band. The wearable device may include a hook-based latching mechanism or a rod-based latching mechanism. According to various embodiments, the wearable device is engaged with or disengaged from around a limb of a wearer responsive to an engage or disengage instruction from an authorized user of a client device.

A wristwatch having a watch case that rests against the radial side of a wearer's wrist is provided. The wristwatch includes a radial watch having a rigid band with a first and second end that forms a gap. A watch case is secured between the ends forming a closed loop. The rigid band is monolithic and sized in such a way that the watch case is disposed on the radial side of the wrist when worn. The watch case includes a face that can be oriented towards the wearer for convenient viewing. In one embodiment, the band includes padding on an interior side.

A bandage may include a first strap and a second strap. The first strap may include a first strap body, a first connection portion and a first mating portion. The first strap body may define a connection hole between the first connection portion and the first mating portion. The second strap may include a second strap body, a second connection portion, a second mating portion and a buckle. The second mating portion may be arranged between the second connection portion and the buckle. The buckle is configured to be inserted into the connection hole to connect the first strap body and the second strap body. The second mating portion may be configured to be attracted to and coupled with the first mating portion.

Implementations of an expandable link are provided. In some implementations, the expandable link comprises a first piece and a second piece moveably connected in an adjustable length configuration.

In some implementations, a method of using the expandable link comprises adjusting the expandable link to increase or reduce the length of the expandable link. In some implementations, a method of using the expandable link comprises connecting one or more of the expandable links to form an adjustable portion of a piece of jewelry or to form a piece of adjustable jewelry.
