  • Patent number: 10449415
    Abstract: A wrist-worn physical activity measurement apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a bracelet comprising a plurality of links, each link being formed at one side to comprise a part and at the opposite side a counterpart interlocking with a part of an adjacent link, and a flexible casing encasing the plurality of the links. The apparatus is attachable around a curvature of a wrist of a user such that the links and the adjacent links are pivotably lockable in relation to each other in order to wrap and lock around the wrist.

  • Patent number: 9892715
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a housing and a fixing mechanism configured to attach the housing to an object. The housing includes a display device and at least one processor configured to receive measurement data in a measurement mode during a physical exercise, to process the received measurement data, thus generating exercise data characterizing the exercise, and to display the exercise data through the display device during the physical exercise. The display device is configured to provide a plurality of display view orientations associated with different rotation angles between a first display view orientation, defined by attachment of the fixing mechanism to the object, and a 90-degree rotation from the first display view orientation. At least one function of the processor is associated with the rotation of the display view.
