Abstract

A wearable device is provided with a wearable device structure with first end and second ends. A plurality of magnets is positioned at the first and second ends that provide for coupling of the first end to the second end of the wearable device structure. At least a portion of the magnets are sealed in the wearable device structure. ID circuitry is at a surface or an interior of the wearable device structure.

Claims

19-1. The device of claim 1, further comprising:

a multi-protocol wireless controller that in operation characterizes available networks to determine current network information.
