An electronic device has a housing and a rotatable and translatable input mechanism. The housing has an aperture and the rotatable and translatable input mechanism has a shaft positioned at least partially within the aperture and a manipulation structure coupled to the shaft. The manipulation structure may be manipulated to rotationally and translationally move the shaft to provide rotational and translational input to the electronic device. A compressible seal is positioned in a gap between the housing and the rotatable and translatable input mechanism. The compressible seal may resist and/or prevent passage of contaminants into the aperture and/or obscure one or more internal components. The compressible seal may be configured to collapse or bend when the rotatable and translatable member translates.

A wearable electronic device may include: a housing including a front plate, a rear plate, and a side member surrounding an inner space between the front plate and the rear plate, wherein the side member includes at least one portion including an external opening and an inner channel connecting between the inner space and the external opening: an insulating structure inserted into the inner channel; a conductive path partially embedded in the insulating structure, wherein the conductive path includes a first end exposed to the inner space and a second end exposed to the external opening; at least one printed circuit board positioned in the inner space and electrically connected to the first end of the conductive path; a display exposed through the front plate; and a band structure connected to the portion of the housing and configured to be mounted on a portion of a human body. The band structure may include a conductive rod movably inserted into the external opening and electrically connected to the second end of the conductive path, and an electronic component at least partially embedded in the band structure and electrically connected to the conductive rod. Other various embodiments may also exist.

The present invention discloses an acoustic module waterproof protection mechanism, including an acoustic module arranged in a housing, an acoustic port provided on an outer wall of the housing and communicating with the acoustic module, a waterproof sound-permeable membrane arranged on an inner wall of the housing and covering the acoustic port, the an acoustic module waterproof protection mechanism further includes a waterproof valve assembly embedded in a hole wall of the acoustic port in a stretchable manner, which is used to stretch into the acoustic port to block the acoustic port when an external water pressure is greater than an air pressure in the housing.

A watch case having a locking system for at least one control element of a timepiece, the locking system including a manipulable element, a locking element for the at least one control element, and a kinematic link linking the manipulable element to the locking element, the locking system being arranged on the outside of a chamber (63), more particularly on the outside of a water-resistant chamber, defined by the case, the locking element being rotatably mounted, more particularly rotatably mounted about a second axis (A1) of the at least one control element.

Method of assembling a timepiece comprising a watch movement and a water-resistant case, the method comprising: a first stage of closing the case by fitting and securing a first case element, more particularly a back, and then a second stage of closing the case by actuation of a second case element, more particularly a stem, in particular a winding stem or a valve stem or a push-button stem, the second case element being mobile between a first configuration, in which a fluid communication between the interior of the case and an environment outside the case is permitted, and a second configuration, in which the fluid communication between the interior of the case and the environment outside the case is limited, the second stage of closing being an actuation of the passage of the second element from the first configuration to the second configuration.
