MODULAR SYSTEM FOR WATCH
FIG7 illustrates a side view of a watch, in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure
A connection to the watch band 18 can be provided by the functional module 200. As shown in FIG7, the functional module 200 can include the band retaining features 16 on opposing sides thereof for releasably connecting the functional module 200 to the watch band 18 via the attachment units 12. The body 100 can be attached to the functional module 200. For example, as described herein, the body attachment elements 130 and the module attachment elements 230 can facilitate mechanical coupling or connection of the body 100 and the functional module 200, and the body communication interfaces 120 and the module communication interfaces 220 can facilitate a communication link between the body 100 and the functional module 200.
