    Abstract: In at least one example of the present disclosure, a portable electronic device includes a housing, an internal volume within the housing, a port having a perimeter defined by the housing, the port in fluid communication with the internal volume and an external environment, a water deflector disposed inside the housing adjacent to the port, the water deflector extending at least a length and a width of the port, and openings disposed in the water deflector. The openings in the water deflector are aligned outside of the perimeter of the port.

    Abstract: An electronic device such as a wristwatch may be provided with a housing and an antenna. The housing may include conductive sidewalls, a conductive turret, and a conductive bridge. The turret may be separated from the sidewalls by a slot. The bridge may couple the turret to the sidewalls across the slot. A display may be mounted to the turret. A canted coil spring may be disposed in a recess of the conductive turret and may couple conductive structures from the display to the turret. The conductive structures, the turret, and the canted coil spring may collectively form a patch antenna resonating element for the antenna. Since the canted coil spring and conductive turret are not permanently affixed or welded to the display, the display may be easily removed from the device for repair or replacement.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a smartwatch including a housing that at least partially defines an internal volume, and a touch-sensitive display positioned at least partially within the internal volume. A front cover can be positioned over the touch-sensitive display and can define a front exterior surface. A seal can be positioned between the housing and the front cover and configured to transition between an uncompressed state and a compressed state in response to an increase from a first external pressure on the front cover to a second external pressure. In the uncompressed state, the seal has a first density and is air-permeable allowing an internal pressure of the internal volume to equalize with external air at the first pressure. In the compressed state, the seal has a second density, greater than the first density, and is configured to inhibit ingress of water at the second pressure.

    Abstract: An electronic device can include a housing at least partially defining an internal volume and an exterior surface of the electronic device. The electronic device can also include a display assembly including a display layer, a substrate disposed below the display layer, and a substantially continuous sheet of conductive material disposed on the substrate, the sheet of conductive material covering substantially an entire surface of the substrate. A transparent cover can overlie the display assembly and can be affixed to the housing.
