Abstract

A wristwatch configured to provide inductive charging of a smart phone proximate thereto. The wristwatch includes a body having an interior volume. Disposed within the interior volume is a battery that is operable to provide power for operation of the wristwatch. Located in the interior volume of the body is a first coil. The first coil is constructed from copper windings and is centrally located within the interior volume and electrically coupled to the battery. A second coil is surroundably present around the first coil in the interior volume of the body. The first coil and second coil function to provide an electromagnetic field generating an induced current so as to provide inductive charging of a smart phone proximate the wristwatch. The wristwatch further includes a central processing unit configured to control operations thereof. A display is included that is configured to provide time information.
