WEARABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICES CONFIGURED TO INTERFACE WITH PORTABLE WIRELESS AUDIO DEVICES
A wearable electronic device can include a hinge configured to move the wearable electronic device between an open position and a closed position. First and second arc shaped portions can be moveable connected together at the hinge. A first recess in a face the first arc shaped portion can be located opposite the hinge, wherein the face the first arc shaped portion is exposed in the open position and is hidden in the closed position. A second recess in a face the second arc shaped portion can be located opposite the hinge, the first and second recesses being located in the first and second faces opposite one another, wherein the face the second arc shaped portion is exposed in the open position and is hidden in the closed position. A battery can be inside the first arc shaped portion, coupled to the first recess and configured electrically charge a portable wireless audio device when inserted into the first recess.
