Abstract

A method and system for interacting with a wearable device is provided. The method includes detecting, by a first wearable device of a first user, a body attachment band of a second wearable device of a second user physically interlinked with a body attachment band of the first wearable device. In response, operational attributes of the first wearable device are activated and a specified configuration between the body attachment band of the first wearable device and the body attachment band of the second wearable device is detected. Specified actions associated with the operational attributes are determined and a specified action is executed with respect to a first operational attribute. The specified action is executed with respect to the first wearable device and the second wearable device.
