Electronic watch clasp systems and methods

A watch comprising:

• a mechanical watch, the mechanical watch having a mechanical watch housing, and a mechanical watch face retained at least partially within the mechanical watch housing;
• a first watch band portion having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the first watch band portion is coupled with the mechanical watch housing;
• a second watch band portion having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the second watch band portion is coupled with the mechanical watch housing;
• a clasp having;
• a clasp body having a first end, a second end, and a latch assembly, the first end of the clasp body being configured for attachment to the second end of the first watch band portion;
• a first clasp arm, the first clasp arm having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the first clasp arm is coupled with the second end of the clasp body such that the first clasp arm is configured to pivot relative to the clasp body;
• a second clasp arm, the second clasp arm having a first end and a second end, the second clasp arm having a locking pin configured to engage the latch assembly when the clasp is in a closed position, wherein the second end of the second clasp arm is configured for attachment to the second end of the second watch band portion;
• and
• a pivot, wherein the pivot couples the second end of the first clasp arm and the first end of the second clasp arm such that the first clasp arm is configured to pivot relative to the second clasp arm;
• and
• a circuit board associated with a controller, the circuit board and controller being at least partially retained by the clasp, wherein the circuit board and the controller are electronically and operatively independent from the mechanical watch.
