Abstract
The application describes a watch band and methods of manufacture and use thereof. In various embodiments, the watch band includes a first portion and a second portion continuous with the first portion. The first portion can be made of a first material and be adapted to be located directly under a back of a watch case. The second portion can include a series of rigid links formed from a second material that is different than the first material. The second portion can be adapted to wrap around the wrist of a user. In various embodiments, the watch band can feature offset links to enable the watch band to curl around a user's wrist while maintaining the watch case at a low profile above the first portion. In some cases, the watch band can include a detachment mechanism remote from where the watch band attaches to the watch case.
