Abstract: A wearable electronic device comprising a rotateable member for indicating the day of the week, wherein each day of the week is displayable with an AM indicator and a PM indicator, an actuation mechanism, operatively coupled to the rotateable member, for rotating the rotateable member in at least one of the clockwise and counterclockwise direction; and a controller, operatively coupled to the actuation mechanism, for causing the rotation of the rotateable member after at least essentially 12 hours so as to shift between indicating a day indicator with the AM indicator and (ii) the day indicator with the PM indicator. The rotateable member can be a day ring, merely an elongated member or a display hand. After essentially 12 hours the rotateable member again rotates so as to shift between displaying in the window (i) the day indicator with the PM indicator and (ii) a successive day indicator with the AM indicator. In a preferred embodiment, the wearable electronic device is a watch.
