Abstract: An electronic device that includes a display assembly comprising a display, a texture layer, a transmissive and reflective layer, and a cover layer. The display includes an upper surface on which visual data is displayed and from which light is emitted. The texture layer includes a lower surface having a first texture with structural components and a second texture with structural components that are different from structural components of the first texture. The transmissive and reflective layer is positioned between the display and the texture layer and includes a first texture with structural components that are complementary to the structural components of the first texture of the texture layer and a second texture with structural components that are complementary to the structural components of the second texture of the texture layer. The cover layer is positioned above the texture layer and forms an upper surface of the display assembly.

Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed to monitor and present biometric information for a user wearing a watch. The watch may include a biometrics sensor configured to output biometric signals associated with a user wearing the watch and a processor configured to select one of a plurality of alphanumeric characters based upon the determined biometric information. The watch may include a first disc coupled with a first motor and including the plurality of alphanumeric characters, the first disc positioned under the first window such that one of the plurality of alphanumeric characters, such as a target heart rate zone, is visible through the first window as the first motor rotates the first disc.

Abstract: A wearable electronic device including a housing including a watch face, a protective material, a display, a touch panel comprising a plurality of touch sensors, a first watch hand, a first watch hand actuation apparatus, a memory, and a processor. In embodiments, the processor is configured to receive a touch signal from at least one of the plurality of touch sensors, determine a position of the first watch hand, identify a signal threshold of a touch sensor by selecting one of a plurality of signal thresholds stored in the memory, and identify a touch input received by the touch sensor once the touch signal received from the corresponding touch sensor exceeds the selected signal threshold.

Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed to monitor and present a user's physical activity as part of an analog wellness device. The device may include two motors that are coupled to respective discs such that, when rotated, various regions are visible through respective windows. The first of these motors may rotate a first disc based upon a measured number of steps taken by the user, which may be part of a daily fitness activity goal. As the first motor rotates the first disc, the region visible through the first window may indicate a proportion of the fitness activity goal that has been met or exceeded. The second of these motors may turn a second disc based upon a period of time associated with the user's inactivity. The regions visible through the second window may indicate the period of time that the user has been inactive. The top surface of each respective disc may include one or more symbols to communicate information to a user.

Abstract: A system, method, and device for monitoring a physiological characteristic and/or response of a user includes a wearable monitoring device for displaying a status level of a physiological characteristic and/or response. When attached to or against the user's body, the wearable monitoring device includes an optical signal assembly configured to generate an optical signal based on a reflection or transmission of light from a detected travel of blood and/or pulse wave of the user and received by one or more sensors disposed along the user's extremity. A processor calculates the physiological characteristic and/or response, for example, heart-rate, heart-rate variability, blood pressure, stress intensity level, or energy level of the user, based on the generated signal from the sensor and user data.

Abstract: A fitness monitor having a unitary wristband configured to receive a module, such as an electronics module, is disclosed. In one or more implementations, the fitness monitor comprises a module, such as an electronics module, that includes a housing having a first thickness. The fitness monitor also comprises a unitary wristband configured to be worn about a wrist of a user. The unitary wristband includes a housing receiving structure configured to receive the housing of the module so that the combination of the housing receiving structure and the housing has a second thickness, where the second thickness is at least substantially equal to the first thickness. In embodiments, the housing of the monitor may further have a first width, and the combination of the housing receiving structure and the housing may have a second width, where the second width is at least substantially equal to the first width.
