Abstract

A wearable device is provided with a wearable device structure. The wearable device has a first end and a second end. 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. At least a portion of the magnets are magnetized through their widths or thickness, e.g., depth. ID circuitry is provided at a surface or an interior of the wearable device.
