1. A wearable device comprising:
- a processor;
a display comprising a plurality of light guides each operatively coupled to at least a first LED, wherein each light guide includes a refracting surface and a clear portion, wherein at least a first light guide is positioned wherein the refracting surface of the first light guide is displayed through the clear portion of a second light guide;
the plurality of light guides being positioned in a layered configuration wherein the refracting surfaces, of the plurality of light guides, are aligned in a series enabling the refracting surfaces to display a gradient; and
memory storing computer readable instructions that, when executed, cause the wearable device to illuminate at least the first LED wherein at least one refracting surface is illuminated.

Abstract
A wearable device assembly has a housing supporting a controller and a display. The display may comprise one or more light guides, where each guide is operatively coupled to an LED. Each LED may light the edge of a guide such that a refraction surface is illuminated. The controller may selectively illuminate the one or more light guides using the LEDs to indicate a level of activity of the user.
