A method of setting/calibrating a feature or function in a setting/calibrating mode of an electronic device including at least one actuatable selector, wherein the setting/calibrating of the feature or function requires an actuation of the at least one selector, wherein the electronic device includes at least one indicator hand coupled to an actuation mechanism that rotates the at least one indicator hand in at least one of a clockwise and counterclockwise direction, wherein the method includes the steps of using the at least one indicator hand to indicate the actuatable selector for actuation; setting/calibrating the feature or function; and exiting the setting/calibration mode. An electronic device, that carries out the foregoing method is also provided.

Method of actuator navigation and electronic device comprising an actuation navigator function

A wristworn device having a conductive dial, the conductive dial having a top side and a bottom side; a conductive case body including a conductive case back; a circuit block, and an antenna operatively coupled to the circuit block, for receiving and transmitting RF signals, wherein at least the antenna is positioned on the bottom side of the conductive dial, and further wherein the antenna and circuit block are inside the conductive case body, wherein the conductive dial and the conductive case body are physically separated; and wherein spacing created between the conductive case body and the conductive dial permits RF signals to be transmitted from out of the wristworn device on the top side of the conductive dial.

Wearable device with RF transmitter

A wristwearable device for displaying travel information using at least one travel information indicator, the wristwearable device including a receiver for receiving data indicative of the travel information from a transmitting device; at least a first actuation mechanism, operatively coupled to the at least one travel information indicator, for rotating the at least one travel information indicator in at least one of a clockwise and counterclockwise direction; a controller, operably coupled to the receiver and the actuation mechanism, for causing the at least first actuation mechanism to rotate the at least one travel information indicator in at least one of the clockwise and counterclockwise direction based on the data received by the receiver; and wherein the position of the at least one travel information indicator conveys information regarding a travel.

Wristwearable device with travel information indicators

A method of setting/calibrating a feature or function in a setting/calibrating mode of an electronic device comprising at least one actuatable selector, wherein the setting/calibrating of the feature or function requires an actuation of the at least one selector, wherein the electronic device comprises at least one indicator hand coupled to an actuation mechanism that rotates the at least one indicator hand in at least one of a clockwise and counterclockwise direction, wherein the method comprises the steps of using the at least one indicator hand to indicate the actuatable selector for actuation; setting/calibrating the feature or function; and exiting the setting/calibration mode. An electronic device that carries out the foregoing method is also disclosed.
