A wearable electronic device, for example a smart watch, has an optical sensor module disposed near a side of the device meant to face the wearer. The device also includes a wireless charging module. The optical sensor and wireless charging modules are at least partially integrated together via a flexible printed circuit board ('FPCB') which is connected to both modules. The wireless charging module surrounds the FPCB of the optical sensor module, thus allowing a reduction in thickness of the wearable device and further allowing simplification in a process of assembly of the device.
