    Abstract: A wearable electronic device can interact with a charging case to maintain appropriate power-consumption states while readily transitioning to other states in anticipation of user operation. As the wearable electronic device is accessed from the case, the wearable electronic device can transition to an active state earlier than if the wearable electronic device were to detect the user before transitioning to the active state. In the active state, the wearable electronic device can perform one or more of a variety of actions that are not performed in the sleep state or the off state. For example, by initiating a transition to an active state before the user dons the wearable electronic device, the displays can be ready to output the view earlier so that the user does not spend any or a substantial amount of time being unable to see or waiting for the displays to become active.

    Abstract: Systems of the present disclosure can provide a wearable electronic device with attachable and exchangeable bands that provide a variety of different components and functions to achieve the results that are desired by a user. A selection of a certain band can influence operation of the wearable electronic device in a variety of ways. For example, the wearable electronic device can respond to the identification of a particular band by performing particular functions, such as changing an aspect of a user interface or altering settings of the wearable electronic device. Such functions can be readily executed by the wearable electronic device upon identification of the band, such that user input is not required. Accordingly, a user's experience with the wearable electronic device can be enhanced based on the user's selection of a particular band.

    Abstract: An electronic device is provided that includes a heatsink, an electrical circuit mounted on the heatsink, and a chassis. A plurality of heat-insulating connectors mounting the heatsink to the chassis at a first plurality of mount points, and a plurality of heat-conducting connectors mounting the heatsink to the chassis at a second plurality of mount points. The first plurality of mount points are located closer to the electrical circuit mounted on the heatsink than the second plurality of mount points.

    Abstract: A case can facilitate operation with a portable electronic device and a battery device that can be connected to another, external device. To minimize the number of separate devices carried by a user, a battery device can be held within the case that also holds the portable electronic device. The case can hold the portable electronic device continually and receive the battery device when the user wants to group the devices together. The battery pack can provide charging power to the external device (e.g., wearable device) while held within the case. The case can provide engagement with the battery device to retain it and/or a communication link to communicate with it.
