MODULAR SYSTEM FOR WATCH
FIG3 illustrates a side view of a system including a watch body and multiple functional modules, in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure  FIG4 illustrates a side view of a system including multiple watch bodies and a functional module, in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure
One of a variety of functional modules can be used at different times with a given body of a watch. FIG3 illustrates a side view of a system including a watch body and multiple functional modules, in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG3, a system can include a body 100 and one or more functional modules 200 and 300. It should be appreciated however that any number of bodies and functional modules may be provided. Each of functional modules 200 and 300 may be configured differently. For example, the functional aspects and the aesthetic aspects may be configured differently. The first functional module 200 may have a first component 280, and the second functional module 300 may have a second component 380. Additional functional modules can also have the same or different components. The different components 280 and 380 can provide different functions, as discussed further herein, so that attachment of a given functional module provides different functions to the same body 100 of the watch. Each functional module can include one or more functional components such as sensors, bio-sensors, batteries, I/O components, communication interfaces, controllers, and the like, as discussed further herein.  A given functional module can be used with one of a variety of watch bodies. FIG4 illustrates a side view of a system including multiple watch bodies and a functional module, in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG4, a system can include one or more bodies 100 and 400 and a functional module 200. It should be appreciated however that any number of bodies and functional modules may be provided. Each of the bodies 100 and 400 may be configured differently. For example, the functional aspects and the aesthetic aspects may be configured differently. The first body 100 may have a first controller 102, and the second body 400 may have a second controller 402. Additional bodies can also have the same or different components. The different controllers and/or other components can provide different functions, as discussed further herein, so that use of a given body provides different functions for the watch.

['1. A watch comprising: a body comprising: a housing; a controller; a first attachment element; and a first communication interface; a functional module comprising: an electronic component; a second attachment element; and a second communication interface, wherein, when the functional module is attached to the body, the controller is operably connected to the electronic component via the first communication interface and the second communication interface; and a release mechanism on an outer surface of the watch for releasing the functional module from the body.', '9. A watch comprising: a body comprising: a housing having a first side and a second side opposite the first side; a controller within the housing; a display supported on the first side of the housing; and a touch sensor configured to receive a touch input at the display; and a functional module removably attachable to the second side of the housing and comprising an electronic component operably connected to the controller when the functional module is attached to the second side of the housing, the functional module being exchangeable with other functional modules that are removably attachable to the housing.']
