Abstract
Disclosed are ergonomic power switches for wearable electronic devices. A wearable electronic device may include a circuit including a power supply, and an ergonomic power switch to selectively close the circuit. The ergonomic power switch may comprise multiple elements that are configured to cause closure of the circuit in response to a connection event. The connection event may occur in response to a portion of a user's body being positioned between the multiple elements. A process may include determining, by a controller of a wearable electronic device, that a connection event has occurred, and setting a power state of the wearable electronic device to a power-on state where power is supplied to multiple electrical components of the wearable electronic device from a power supply of the wearable electronic device.
