Abstract: Herein disclosed is a method of manufacturing a strap comprising providing a mould for a strap, the strap comprising a first opening and a second opening, providing a printed circuit board (PCB), comprising at least one electronic component, applying a membrane to said electronic component, attaching a chassis to said PCB at said electronic component such that said membrane is sealed against said electronic component; injecting a wet applied structural component into said mould.

Abstract: A strap for a wearable device comprises a printed circuit board (PCB) located within said strap. The PCB comprises a first electronic component, coupled to a first flexible portion. The first electronic component is mounted to a cage, the cage comprising a cage pivot mount. The flexible portion is under tension and urges said first electronic component towards said cage pivot mount such that a pivotable connection is formed between said cage and said first electronic component. Also disclosed is a method of manufacture of the strap.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a wearable device comprising a printed circuit board (PCB) on which is mounted electronic components, the method includes providing a mould attaching the PCB to a cage, the cage comprising a cage body and at least one hole, inserting said PCB into the mould; arresting the PCB relative to the mould by inserting an insert tool into the mould and attaching the insert tool to said at least one hole, injecting a wet applied structural component into said mould and removing said mould.

Abstract: This application relates to a watch strap comprising a body having a first end, and a second end. The first end comprises a first watch case attachment, the second end comprises a second watch case attachment. In use, the first watch case attachment and second watch case attachment are configured for operation by a user to attach the watch strap to a watch case about a wrist of the user and then subsequently for operation, by the user, to detach the watch strap from the watch case allowing the strap to be removed from the user's wrist. A watch case and kit of parts are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a wearable device comprising a mechanical watch movement located within a watch housing, and first and second straps connected to the watch housing, such that the device is suitable for wearing on a user's wrist. The first strap has a coin cell located in a cavity, and the second strap has a first electronic communication device located in a cavity. The coin cell and the electronic communication device are connected by a flexible circuit board. Advantageously, this may provide a wearable device having the functionality to interact with a remote security system of a vehicle, such as a keyless entry system or a keyless go system.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a wearable device (200) suitable for wearing on a person's wrist and comprising a metallic housing (203) and a flexible band (202) for attachment of the device to a user's wrist. The metallic housing includes a printed circuit board (PCB) (702) on which is mounted electronic components (710) including a transmitter for transmitting radio signals at a frequency between 400 and 1000 MHz. A coin-cell battery (502) powers the device. The battery is disposed in an inner core (406,406?) of the flexible band. An antenna is connected to the PCB for radiating said signals. In one embodiment the antenna comprises a coil (504,506) of wire disposed in said section of the band. The wire is of substantially a quarter wavelength in length based on the transmission frequency of the radio signals, and comprises the electrical connections between the battery and PCB.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a kit comprising a device and a charger each having a curved design. The device comprises a housing, a receive coil and a rechargeable electrical power storage element. The charger for the device comprises a yoke and a transmit coil. The receive coil axis and the transmit coil axis are arranged such that the receive coil and the transmit coil form an inductive coupling. Advantageously, the device may therefore be charged by the charger without a direct wired connection between the device and a power supply, despite the device and charger having a curved design.
