An article of apparel is disclosed that includes an electronic device. The apparel is at least partially formed from a material element that defines an aperture. The electronic device is locatable within the aperture and removably-securable to the material element. The electronic device may be a timing device, such as a watch, or a global positioning system unit. The apparel may be a wristband formed from a textile material or any of a variety of other types of apparel.

Article of apparel incorporating a separable electronic device

Portion of a wrist band

Bassinet

A bracelet-style watch having a case, a wristband formed integral with the case, and three separating element is disclosed. The separating elements, located on the case and wristband, form a space between the timepiece and the wrist. The space permits air to freely enter a substantial portion of an area between the timepiece and the wrist, thereby ventilating and reducing the quantity of perspiration that collects between the timepiece and the wrist.

An electronic timepiece has an operating unit for switching between a time display mode and a demo display mode, a time measuring unit for measuring time, and a storing unit for storing a timing condition for switching between the time display mode and the demo display mode. A control unit outputs a time display signal representing time measured by the time measuring unit when the operating unit switches to the time display mode, outputs a demo display signal when the operating unit switches to the demo display mode, and outputs the demo display signal after outputting the time display signal for a preselected period of time when the time measured by the time measuring unit satisfies the timing condition stored by the storing unit.
