a second antenna element electrically connected to the circuit board and located on the front side of the housing body.

2. The wearable wireless device according to claim 1 , further comprising a battery located at the back side of the housing body.

3. The wearable wireless device according to claim 1 , wherein the front side comprises a top surface and wherein the first and second antenna elements are located at the top surface along top surface edges.

4. The wearable wireless device according to claim 1 , wherein the front side comprises a top surface and the back side comprises a bottom surface, wherein side surfaces connect the top surface and the bottom surface, and wherein the first and second antenna elements are located at the top surface and the side surfaces.

5. The wearable wireless device according to claim 1 , wherein the front side comprises a top surface and the back side comprises a bottom surface, wherein tilted surfaces connect side surfaces to the top surface, and wherein the first and second antenna elements are located at the tilted surfaces.

6. The wearable wireless device according to claim 1 , wherein the front side comprises a demi bull nose structure, wherein the first and second antenna elements are located at the demi bull nose structure.

7. The wearable wireless device according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second antenna elements are embedded in the housing body.

8. The wearable wireless device according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second antenna elements are coated with a protection layer.

9. The wearable wireless device according to claim 1 , wherein feed points of the first and second antenna elements to the circuit board are located at a side of the wearable wireless device.

10. The wearable wireless device according to claim 1 , wherein the first antenna element is part of a first multiband antenna, and wherein the second antenna element is part of a second multiband antenna.

11. The wearable wireless device according to claim 1 , wherein the first antenna element is electrically connected to a first feed point, wherein the second antenna element is electrically connected to a second feed point, and wherein the first feed point and the second feed point are located at the same edge of the circuit board.

12. The wearable wireless device according to claim 1 , wherein the first antenna element is shorter than the second antenna element.

13. The wearable wireless device according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second antenna elements bend around one or more corners of the housing body.

14. The wearable wireless device according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second antenna elements have a shared ground plate.

15. The wearable wireless device according to claim 14 , wherein the first and second antenna elements with the shared ground plate form a dipole or monopole.
