  • Patent number: 11569572
    Abstract: A wrist-worn electronic device comprises a housing, a display, a bezel, and a location determining antenna. The housing includes an internal cavity, a bottom wall configured to contact a wearer's wrist, and a side wall defining a portion of the internal cavity and including an upper surface. The display is aligned with the internal cavity and configured to display information. The bezel surrounds the display and is coupled to the housing. The bezel includes a lower surface incorporating a channel positioned around the upper surface of the side wall. The location determining antenna is configured to receive global navigation satellite system wireless signals and is positioned within the channel of the bezel above the upper surface of the side wall. The location determining antenna includes a planar portion oriented in parallel with a plane of the bezel.
