Abstract: A wearable timepiece having at least one rotateable elongated member, preferably a ring, under the dial, having a plurality of time zone indications thereon, wherein a controller controls the rotation of the at least one elongated member and causes an indicator to rotate in response to a selected time zone indication positioned in a viewing window in the dial, wherein the indicator points to indicia on the dial assembly that indicates to a user the time indicated by the selected time zone indication.

Abstract: A wearable electronic device for conveying information using one or more display indicators, wherein the electronic device comprises a housing; a nest positioned in the housing; a plurality of independently insertable and removable modules coupled to the nest, wherein each module comprises (i) a gearing arrangement comprising at least one rotateable gear and (ii) a stepper motor, the stepper motor comprising a rotor rotateably coupled to the at least one rotateable gear; a controller operatively coupled to the stepper motor of each module, for causing the rotation of the rotor of each module; wherein each of the plurality of modules has associated therewith and mechanically coupled thereto one or more display indicators; whereby the positioning of the one or more indicators conveys information by referring to particular indicia. In a specific embodiment, the wearable electronic device is a wristwatch.

Abstract: A display assembly for a wearable electronic device. The display assembly is disposed within a housing of the wearable electronic device. The electronic device is constructed to receive at least a first and second dial assembly each of which is adapted to provide a different display configuration. The display assembly comprises a liquid crystal display assembly comprising at least two display sections, driving means for providing driving signals to the respective display sections; and a controller, operatively coupled to the driving means, for signaling the driving means to provide the driving signals; wherein the display configuration of the wearable electronic device is changeable based on the dial assembly operatively coupled within the housing, wherein the first dial assembly provides for the viewability of at least the first display section and the second dial assembly provides for the viewability of at least the second display section.

Abstract: An electronic device that includes functionality to perform at least two functions, a first of which may be timekeeping and the other of which is at least a function other than the first function.
