Abstract
Example implementations relate to a movable charging coil within a wristband. For example, an apparatus includes a computing device and a wristband coupled to the computing device. The wristband includes a movable carriage that is movable within the wristband. The movable carriage has a charging coil to wirelessly receive power from a charging device when the movable carriage is within a threshold distance from the charging device. The wristband also includes a connector device to send the power to the computing device.
Claims18
An apparatus, comprising:
- a computing device;
- and
