Abstract: A stretchable watch band can include braided strands that provide a comfortable fit around the wrist of the user. The watch band can stretch and conform to the user based on the elasticity within each strand and based on the ability of the strands to move relative to each other. End sections of the watch band can include attachment elements that securely connect the watch band to a housing of the watch. The end sections can be configured to releasable connect to the housing in a manner that is reliable and easy for a user. Additionally, the watch band can provide a smooth transition from the size and/or shape of the housing to a size and/or shape of a continuous section of the watch band. Additionally, the watch band can conceal portions thereof other than the braided strands when connected to the housing of the watch.

Abstract: Attachment systems (100) for attaching a wearable electronic device (102) to a user including a sizing band (106) and a retaining band (108) are disclosed. The sizing band includes at least one sizing eyelet (116) and a band-insertable end. The retaining band includes at least a post (114) for insertion into the sizing eyelet of the sizing band and a concealment aperture (110) configured to receive the band- insertable end of the sizing band. A bottom surface of the retaining band can be a recessed guide bed (112) configured to guide the band-insertable end along the bottom surface of the retaining band. A wearable electronic device can couple to both the sizing band and the retaining band by accepting an end portion (302a) of each band into receiving channels (324) extending into opposite sidewalls of the housing.
