Abstract: A stretchable watch band can include braided strands that provide a comfortable fit around the wrist of the user. The watch band can stretch and conform to the user based on the elasticity within each strand and based on the ability of the strands to move relative to each other. End sections of the watch band can include attachment elements that securely connect the watch band to a housing of the watch. The end sections can be configured to releasable connect to the housing in a manner that is reliable and easy for a user. Additionally, the watch band can provide a smooth transition from the size and/or shape of the housing to a size and/or shape of a continuous section of the watch band. Additionally, the watch band can conceal portions thereof other than the braided strands when connected to the housing of the watch.

Abstract: A wearable band assembly (100) including a band clasp, and methods of forming the wearable band assembly (100) including the band clasp. The wearable band assembly (100) may include a woven material (102) including an interfused portion of threads positioned at an end (106). The interfused portion of threads may form an aperture through a width of the woven material (102). The wearable band assembly (100) may also include a pin positioned through the aperture of the interfused portion of threads, and a connection device (104) coupled to the pin. The connection device (104) may be positioned directly adjacent the interfused portion of threads of the woven material (102). The connection device (104) may substantially cover the interfused portion of threads, such that the interfused portion of threads of the woven material (102) may not be visible or exposed.

Abstract translation: 一种包括带扣的可佩戴带组件（100），以及形成包括带扣的可穿戴带组件（100）的方法。 可穿戴带组件（100）可以包括编织材料（102），其包括位于端部（106）处的螺纹的接合部分。 螺纹的接合部分可以形成穿过编织材料（102）的宽度的孔。 可穿戴带组件（100）还可以包括定位成穿过螺纹接合部分的孔的销和连接到销的连接装置（104）。 连接装置（104）可以直接定位在编织材料（102）的螺纹的接合部分附近。 连接装置（104）可以基本上覆盖螺纹的接合部分，使得编织材料（102）的螺纹的接合部分可能不可见或暴露。

Abstract: A wristband (108) can comfortably secure an electronic device (100), such as a wristwatch or fitness/health tracking device, to a wrist (2) of a user. The wristband (108) can include a number of magnets that allow the wristband (108) to be magnetically coupled to itself when folded over or when separate band portions are overlapping. The magnets can include a polymer mixed with a magnetic material to provide magnetic properties and flexibility. The magnets can be joined together by a continuous support structure that extends through opposing pairs of the magnets. The support structure can provide substantial and ability as well as tensile strength. The magnets and the support structure can be surrounded by a flexible cover to protect the components within.
