Abstract: An electronic device such as a wristwatch may be provided with a housing and an antenna. The housing may include conductive sidewalls, a conductive turret, and a conductive bridge. The turret may be separated from the sidewalls by a slot. The bridge may couple the turret to the sidewalls across the slot. A display may be mounted to the turret. A canted coil spring may be disposed in a recess of the conductive turret and may couple conductive structures from the display to the turret. The conductive structures, the turret, and the canted coil spring may collectively form a patch antenna resonating element for the antenna. Since the canted coil spring and conductive turret are not permanently affixed or welded to the display, the display may be easily removed from the device for repair or replacement.

Abstract: An electronic watch can include a housing sidewall defining an internal volume. The electronic watch can include a printed circuit board (PCB) disposed within the internal volume. The electronic watch can include an electrically conductive connector contacting the PCB. The electronic watch can include an elongate conductive member disposed along a portion of a perimeter of the housing sidewall. The elongate conductive member can include a first contact feature electrically coupling the elongate conductive member and the electrically conductive connector at a first position along a length of the elongate conductive member. The first contact feature can include a bulge. The elongate conductive member can include a second contact feature electrically coupling the elongate conductive member and the housing sidewall at a second location along the length of the elongate conductive member.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing sidewall defining an opening and a display component, such as a display cover, disposed in the opening to form a gap between the housing sidewall and the display component. In at least one example, the cavity is defined by the sidewall and the display cover with the cavity in fluid communication with an external environment through the gap. In at least one example, an epoxy component at least partially defines the cavity and can be in direct contact with the housing sidewall.

Abstract: An input component for an electronic device can include a dial that defines an exterior surface and a shaft affixed to the dial. The dial and the shaft can be rotatable about a central axis of the shaft and the shaft can include a protruding portion that defines a channel. A collar can surround a portion of the shaft and can be at least partially disposed in the channel. A bushing can be positioned between the collar and the protruding portion of the shaft, with the bushing defining a groove.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a multi-layer seal and a speaker mesh attached to a speaker frame. In at least one example, the cavity is defined by the sidewall and the display cover with the cavity in fluid communication with an external environment through the gap. In some examples, an electronic device includes a housing sidewall defining an opening; an electronic positioned adjacent to the opening; and a seal between the electronic and the first opening, the seal including a perforated support; a first adhesive layer on the perforated support; a first membrane layer on the first adhesive layer; a second adhesive layer on the first membrane layer; and a second membrane layer on the second adhesive layer.
