The charging dock may include a housing, a slide-in mechanism, a contact pin, and a ramp. The housing may include a first and second wall. The slide-in mechanism may be defined by the first and second wall and configured to receive a wearable device. The first wall may include a first opening for accessing the wearable device. The first wall may include at least one peripheral edge that may be configured to extend over the wearable device and prevent the wearable device from opening while docked. The contact pin may be located within the slide-in mechanism and may be configured to charge the wearable device. The ramp may be located within the slide-in mechanism and configured to charge to couple with the wearable device to prevent rotation of the wearable device while docked. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A charging dock comprising: a housing, wherein the housing comprises a first and second wall; a slide-in mechanism defined by the first and second wall and configured to receive a wearable device, wherein the first wall comprises a first opening for accessing the wearable device, and wherein the first wall comprises at least one peripheral edge that is configured to extend over the wearable device and prevent the wearable device from opening while docked; a contact pin located within the slide-in mechanism and configured to charge the wearable device; and a ramp located within the slide-in mechanism and configured to couple with the wearable device to prevent rotation of the wearable device while docked. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The charging dock of claim 1, wherein the contact pin comprises springs. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The charging dock of claim 1, wherein the second wall comprises a second opening for accessing the wearable device, and wherein the second wall comprises at least one peripheral edge that extends over the wearable device. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The charging dock of claim 1, wherein the housing comprises a top housing and bottom housing, wherein the top housing comprises the first and second wall. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The charging dock of claim 4, wherein the bottom housing comprises a base material configured to provide friction. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The charging dock of claim 5, wherein the base material comprises an elastomer. ### Claim 7 (depends on 4) The charging dock of claim 4, wherein the bottom housing comprises a weight plate configured to provide stability and prevent the charging dock from sliding on a flat surface. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The charging dock of claim 1, wherein the first opening allows for a light on the wearable device to be visible, wherein the light comprises a charging status indicator. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The charging dock of claim 1, wherein the first and second openings are configured to allow the wearable device to be un-docked with one hand. ### Claim 10 A charging dock comprising: a top housing; a bottom housing connected to the top housing, wherein the bottom housing comprises a weight plate configured to provide stability and prevent the charging dock from sliding on a surface; a slide-in mechanism defined in the top housing, wherein the slide-in mechanism comprises a contact pin configured to charge a wearable device; and a base material located on the bottom housing and configured to provide friction between the charging dock and a surface. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The charging dock of claim 10, wherein the base material comprises an elastomer. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The charging dock of claim 10, wherein the top housing comprises a first and second wall, wherein the first wall comprises a first opening for accessing the wearable device, and wherein the first wall comprises at least one peripheral edge that extends over the wearable device and is configured to prevent the wearable device from opening while docked. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The charging dock of claim 12, wherein the second wall comprises a second opening for accessing the wearable device, and wherein the second wall comprises at least one peripheral edge that extends over the wearable device. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The charging dock of claim 13, wherein the first and second openings are configured to allow the wearable device to be un-docked with one hand. ### Claim 15 (depends on 10) The charging dock of claim 10, wherein the charging dock further comprises: a ramp located within the slide-in mechanism and configured to couple with the wearable device to prevent rotation of the wearable device while docked. ### Claim 16 A method comprising: receiving a wearable device into a charging dock, wherein the wearable device comprises an aligning opening, a protrusion member, and a charging pad, and wherein the charging dock comprises: a housing, wherein the housing comprises a first and second wall; a slide-in mechanism defined by the first and second wall; a contact pin located within the slide-in mechanism and configured to charge the wearable device, wherein the contact pin comprises a spring; and a ramp located within the slide-in mechanism; compressing the contact pin with the protrusion member; providing tactile and auditory feedback as the contact pin passes the protrusion member and is decompressed; engaging the contact pin with the charging pad; and engaging the aligning opening with the ramp to secure the contact pin on the charging pad. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, further comprising: securing a latching mechanism between the first and second wall, wherein the latching mechanism is located on an outer edge of the wearable device and cannot be opened within the charging dock. ### Claim at position 18 18-21.
