Abstract: An electronic watch with watchband-carried batteries in which an electrical conductor completes the circuit from battery to watch. A standard, removably fastened watch part is used to securely fasten the conductor to the watch case. In one embodiment an electrical connector is inserted through a passage in the watch case and is firmly seated between the spring bar and a corresponding connector attached inside the watch case. In the other embodiment the conductor fits in a passage between the watch case and back cover while the back cover presses an angled connector into firm engagement with the internal connector. A battery compartment, the conductor and the connector are joined in a molded case for added durability and reliability as well as ease of replacement.
