The conductive frame is disposed above the conductive bottom shell and separated from the conductive bottom shell. The conductive frame functions as an antenna and includes a feeding terminal and a first ground terminal. The insulating member is disposed between the conductive bottom shell and the conductive frame and prevents the conductive bottom shell from conducting electricity to the conductive frame. The circuit board is disposed inside the conductive frame, separated from the conductive bottom shell and disposed between the insulating member and the conductive frame. The feeding terminal and the first ground terminal are electrically connected to the circuit board. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A wearable device, comprising: a conductive bottom shell; a conductive frame, disposed above the conductive bottom shell and separated from the conductive bottom shell, and the conductive frame operating as an antenna and comprising a feeding terminal and a first ground terminal; an insulating member, disposed between the conductive bottom shell and the conductive frame, and preventing the conductive bottom shell from conducting electricity to the conductive frame; and a circuit board, disposed inside the conductive frame, separated from and not electrically connected to the conductive bottom shell and disposed between the insulating member and the conductive frame, and the feeding terminal and the first ground terminal being electrically connected to the circuit board. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The wearable device according to claim 1, wherein the circuit board comprises a first elastic piece and a second elastic piece, the first elastic piece abuts the feeding terminal, and the second elastic piece abuts the first ground terminal. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The wearable device according to claim 1, wherein the conductive frame is adapted to resonate at a first frequency band, and a length from the feeding terminal to the first ground terminal is one-half wavelength of the first frequency band. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The wearable device according to claim 3, wherein the conductive frame comprises a second ground terminal, the second ground terminal is electrically connected to the circuit board, and a length from the feeding terminal to the second ground terminal is one-half wavelength of the first frequency band. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The wearable device according to claim 4, wherein the circuit board comprises a third elastic piece, and the third elastic piece abuts the second ground terminal. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The wearable device according to claim 1, wherein the conductive frame comprises a second ground terminal, the second ground terminal is electrically connected to the circuit board, the conductive frame is further adapted to resonate at a second frequency band different from the first frequency band, and the length from the feeding terminal to the second ground terminal is one-half wavelength of the second frequency band. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The wearable device according to claim 6, wherein the circuit board comprises a third elastic piece, and the third elastic piece abuts the second ground terminal. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The wearable device according to claim 1, wherein the conductive frame comprises a slit, so that the conductive frame has an unenclosed annular shape, and the conductive frame is adapted to resonate at a second frequency band, and a length from the first ground terminal, the feeding terminal to the slit is one-quarter wavelength of the second frequency band. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The wearable device according to claim 8, wherein the slit is filled with an insulating block. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The wearable device according to claim 1, wherein the insulating member is in an annular shape, and the insulating member is disposed in a gap between the conductive bottom shell and the conductive frame. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The wearable device according to claim 1, further comprising a screen, electrically connected to the circuit board and disposed on the conductive frame.
