Abstract
A digital device and a method of forming a digital device. The digital device includes a body, circuitry and a folding assembly. The body is provided with a body having a pointer end and a tail end opposite the pointer end. Circuitry is disposed within the body for sending or receiving signals representing a position of the pointer end relative to a signal receiving surface disposed on a watch. A folding assembly integral with the body permits the body to fold from a linear shape to a folded shape adapted to circumscribe at least a portion of a watch band. The body may be formed with a plurality of hinges interconnecting a plurality of segments of the body, wherein the plurality of hinges connects the body segments to permit the body to pivot from the linear shape to a geometric shape adapted to circumscribe a portion of the watch band.
