Watchband securement with clamp pads

Abstract:

A watchband can comfortably secure an electronic device to a wrist of a user. A connector can be provided along a segment of the watchband to receive and secure to another segment of the watchband. For example, a connector can include a housing with an inlet and an outlet, a first pad within the housing, and a second pad within the housing. When a watchband segment between the first and second pads is moved in a direction from the outlet toward the inlet, the first pad and the second pad move toward each other to clamp the watchband segment without plastically deforming the watchband segment.
