Abstract: The assembly includes a watch, a watchband, a tracking device and a flexible retaining part formed to engage the watchband and to retain the watch and the tracking device. The part has a cylindrical shape wall with an open top edge spaced from an inwardly extending collar to define a recess to receive the tracking device. Frist and second arcuate wall extensions are connected by a member and define aligned openings through which the tracking device can be inserted into the retaining part, and which are adapted to receive the watchband. When the watch is situated in the top of the part, the tracking device is situated in the collar in the interior surface of the retaining part, and the watchband is inserted through the align openings, the tracking device is securely retained between the watchband and the watch. The watchband may be a “slap” watchband.

Abstract: The slap watchband includes first and second band parts. Each part has an end adapted to attach to a conventional watch casing using a spring-loaded pin. Each part includes a flexible metal strip encased in plastic and a channel in the plastic located proximate the end adapted to receive a spring-loaded pin. The parts are formed in a multi cavity mold by introducing plastic into the mold cavities to form a plastic layer. A flexible metal strip is placed in each mold cavity over the plastic layer. A rod is inserted into the mold such that it extends across the each mold cavity at a location spaced from the metal strip. Additional plastic is introduced into the mold cavities over the flexible metal strip and rod to form another plastic layer. The mold is closed. Heat and pressure are applied to cure the plastic layers and the rod is removed.

Abstract: A band having a silicone surface with reduced static electric charge and a cured layer of dried UV oil varnish including an ink image is created by: treating the surface to remove static electric charge; coating the treated surface with a layer of UV oil varnish; allowing the varnish layer to dry; forming the image on the dried varnish layer; and curing the ink and varnish layer. A watch casing may be attached to the band. The band may be a slap band.
