## Abstract

An example method of adjusting a detachable display capsule of a wrist-wearable device to operationally complement a wearable-structure attachment is disclosed. The method includes, while a display capsule is configured to use a default set of display characteristics for operating-system or application-level user interfaces, receiving identifying information for a respective wearable structure, the display capsule being configured to detachably couple to one of a plurality of wearable structures to form a wrist-wearable device. In accordance with a determination that the display capsule should be adjusted based on the identifying information, the method further includes adjusting the display capsule (i) to cease using the first set of display characteristics and (ii) to instead use a customized set of display characteristics associated with the respective wearable structure. The customized set is distinct from the default set and is also used in conjunction with the operating-system or application-level user interfaces.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method, comprising:
while a display capsule is configured to use a default set of display characteristics in conjunction with a plurality of operating-system-level or application-level user interfaces available via the display capsule:
receiving identifying information, at the display capsule, for a respective wearable structure of a plurality of wearable structures, the display capsule being configured to detachably couple to one of the plurality of wearable structures to form a wrist-wearable device; and
in accordance with a determination that the display capsule should be adjusted based on the identifying information for the respective wearable structure:
adjusting the display capsule (i) to cease using the default set of display characteristics in conjunction with the plurality of operating-system-level or application-level user interfaces and (ii) to use a customized set of display characteristics associated with the respective wearable structure, wherein the customized set of display characteristics is distinct from the default set of display characteristics and is also used in conjunction with the operating-system or application-level user interfaces.
