A portable electronic device (10) comprises a radio circuit (150) contained in a housing (152) having positive (156) and negative (158) contacts electrically coupled to the radio circuit (150). A substantially flat, elongated, flexible battery cell, forming a compliant energy storage device (32), provides a single, continuous wrist band (30) and has positive (160) and negative (162) terminals. A latch mechanism (176) releasably secures the housing (152) to the wrist band (30) between opposite ends (172, 174) of the wrist band (30), and permits the contacts (156, 158) of the housing (152) to align with and abut the respective terminals (160, 162) of the wrist band (30) while the wrist band (30) is worn on the user's wrist. Multiple housings (152, 180) may be stacked to add electrical functions. The contacts (156, 158) of the housing (152) and the terminals (160, 162) of the compliant energy storage device (32) are positioned to be substantially protected from contamination by the external environment and from contact with the user's wrist when the housing (152) is carried on the wrist band (30) and while the wrist band (30) is worn on the user's wrist.
A portable electronic device adapted to be worn on a user's wrist, the portable electronic device comprising:
