  • Patent number: 11287778
    Abstract: A method of setting/calibrating a feature or function in a setting/calibrating mode of an electronic device including at least one actuatable selector, wherein the setting/calibrating of the feature or function requires an actuation of the at least one selector, wherein the electronic device includes at least one indicator hand coupled to an actuation mechanism that rotates the at least one indicator hand in at least one of a clockwise and counterclockwise direction, wherein the method includes the steps of using the at least one indicator hand to indicate the actuatable selector for actuation; setting/calibrating the feature or function; and exiting the setting/calibration mode. An electronic device, that carries out the foregoing method is also provided.

  • Patent number: 11036188
    Abstract: A wristworn device having a conductive dial, the conductive dial having a top side and a bottom side; a conductive case body including a conductive case back; a circuit block, and an antenna operatively coupled to the circuit block, for receiving and transmitting RF signals, wherein at least the antenna is positioned on the bottom side of the conductive dial, and further wherein the antenna and circuit block are inside the conductive case body, wherein the conductive dial and the conductive case body are physically separated; and wherein spacing created between the conductive case body and the conductive dial permits RF signals to be transmitted from out of the wristworn device on the top side of the conductive dial.
