Abstract

This application discloses a watchband clasp, a watchband, and a wearable device. The watchband clasp ( 1000 ) includes a first fastener ( 1 ), a second fastener ( 2 ) rotatably mounted on the first fastener ( 1 ), a cover plate ( 3 ) rotatably mounted at an end that is of the second fastener ( 2 ) and that is away from the first fastener ( 1 ), a hook member ( 4 ) slidably mounted on the cover plate ( 3 ), and an elastic member ( 5 ) mounted between the cover plate ( 3 ) and the hook member ( 4 ). The elastic member ( 5 ) can enable the hook member ( 4 ) to maintain a clamped state with an inner wall of a hook hole ( 11 ). The cover plate ( 3 ) is provided with a first accommodation slot ( 35 ) used to accommodate the first fastener ( 1 ) and the second fastener ( 2 ).

Claims (33)

1 . A watchband clasp, comprising:

a first fastener, provided with a first hook hole and a second hook;
