A wearable electronic device includes a first member and a second member. The second member includes a first, RF-attenuating, portion and a second, electrically conductive portion. A gap exists between the first member and at least the second portion of the second member. One or more transmitter/receivers, such as one or more BLUETOOTH®, BLUETOOTH® low energy, and/or IEEE 802.11 transceivers may be mounted in the first member. The one or more transmitter/receivers are conductively coupled to the second portion of the second member. RF signals generated by the one or more transceivers are emitted from the second portion of the second member.
