Abstract

A watch includes a watch housing with a display and a battery, wherein the housing has no processor therein. The watch also includes a removable processor module. A wrist band is secured to one side of the watch housing with a recessed slot to receive the removable processor module. The band also has a connector to connect the processor module to the display and the battery.

Claims

1. A watch, comprising:

a watch housing, including;

a display; and

a battery, wherein the housing has no processor therein;

a removable processor module;

a band coupled to one side of the watch housing with a recessed slot to receive the removable processor module and to connect the processor module to the display and the battery.

2. The watch of claim 1, comprising a two pin charger port to recharge the battery.

3. The watch of claim 1, wherein the recessed slot is inside the band, on top of the band, or on bottom of the band.

4. The watch of claim 1, comprising a muscle strength sensor mounted on the band.

5. The watch of claim 1, comprising a carbon monoxide sensor mounted on the band.

6. The watch of claim 1, comprising a temperature sensor mounted on the band.

7. The watch of claim 1, comprising a pulse rate sensor mounted on the band.

8. The watch of claim 1, comprising sensors for detecting muscle strength, CO2, temperature, and pulse rate on the band.

9. The watch of claim 1, comprising a remote receiver on a remote device.

10. The watch of claim 9, wherein the remote device comprises a movable toy.

11. A method for operating a watch having a housing with a display and a battery without a processor therein, the watch having a band coupled to one side of the watch housing, the method comprising:

inserting a removable processor module into a recessed slot;

connecting the processor module to the display and the battery; and

communicating with a remote device from the processor module.

12. The method of claim 11, comprising charging the battery with a two pin charger port.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein the recessed slot is inside the band, on top of the band, or on bottom of the band.

14. The method of claim 11, comprising sensing muscle strength mounted on the band.

15. The method of claim 11, comprising sensing a carbon monoxide mounted on the band.

16. The method of claim 11, comprising sensing temperature mounted on the band.

17. The method of claim 11, comprising sensing pulse rate mounted on the band.

18. The method of claim 11, comprising detecting muscle strength, CO2, temperature, and pulse rate from the band.

19. The method of claim 11, comprising communicating with a remote receiver on a remote device.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein the remote device comprises first and second movable robots, each controlled by a remote smart phone communicating over a cloud.
