Abstract

A wearable electronic device includes a device body and a wearing element. The wearing element is connected to the device body. The device body includes a conductive upper cover, a conductive lower cover, an insulating frame and a circuit system. The insulating frame is disposed between the conductive upper cover and the conductive lower cover and forms an accommodating space therewith. The circuit system is disposed in the accommodating space. The conductive upper cover has a first feeding point. The conductive lower cover has a second feeding point. The circuit system is coupled to the first feeding point and the second feeding point respectively.
