A wearable device includes a conductive bottom shell, a conductive frame, an insulating member, and a circuit board. The conductive frame is disposed above the conductive bottom shell and separated from the conductive bottom shell. The conductive frame functions as an antenna and includes a feeding terminal and a first ground terminal. The insulating member is disposed between the conductive bottom shell and the conductive frame and prevents the conductive bottom shell from conducting electricity to the conductive frame. The circuit board is disposed inside the conductive frame, separated from the conductive bottom shell and disposed between the insulating member and the conductive frame. The feeding terminal and the first ground terminal are electrically connected to the circuit board.

An electronic timepiece has a case; an annular antenna housed in the case; a time display unit that is disposed on the inside of the antenna, and includes a dial and hands that rotate on a center pivot; and a battery compartment housing a storage battery that feeds the antenna. The antenna is not superimposed with the storage battery held in the battery compartment when seen from the direction perpendicular to the dial.

An electronic device is provided that includes a housing having a first surface facing a first direction, and a second surface facing a second direction opposite to the first direction. The electronic device also includes a conductive pattern having a first conductive coil with an axis that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction or the second direction. The electronic device additionally includes a communication circuit configured to cause the first conductive coil to generate a magnetic flux. The second surface includes a first region made of a conductive material and a second region made of a nonconductive material. When viewed from the second surface, the first conductive coil is disposed mostly under the first region. The first conductive coil is configured to include a first section disposed near or on the second region to cause the magnetic flux to pass through the second region.

The disclosed systems and mobile electronic devices may include a capsule that houses various electronic components. These systems may also include a cradle that is configured to removably couple with the capsule. Still further, these systems may include a strap connected to a first end of the cradle. The strap itself may include at least one antenna. The systems may also include a radio frequency (RF) transparent interconnect that electrically connects the antenna in the strap to at least one of the electronic components in the capsule. Various other methods of manufacturing, systems, and apparatuses are also disclosed.

An antenna is provided for a wearable personal computing device, such as a smartwatch. The antenna integrates with other components of the wearable device, such as a second antenna. For example, the first antenna may be a coupled loop antenna in proximity to a second antenna that may be a monopole antenna, without causing interference between the two antennas. In one example, the first antenna shares a common ground with the second antenna.

An electromechanical timepiece module (1) has a main plate (10) with an actuator module (40) driving at least one mobile part (30) by a gear train (42). The mobile part (30) displays a time or non-time function. A wireless communication module (2) is configured for transmitting and/or receiving a wireless signal. And a control unit (6) is configured for controlling the actuator module (40) depending on a received wireless signal. The mobile part (30) and the gearing (42) are made of an electrically conductive material and are in electrical contact with each other but electrically isolated from the remainder of the timepiece module (1). The mobile part (30) is electrically connected to the communication module (2) so as to act as an antenna for the transmission and/or reception of the wireless signal and to transmit the wireless signal between the mobile part (30) and the wireless communication module (2).
