A fabric-based electronic device may include an electronic device housing coupled to fabric. Control circuitry may be mounted in the electronic device housing and may control the movement of an output device in the fabric that provides tactile output to a user. For example, the output device may include a wire enclosed within a flexible tube. The flexible tube may be intertwined with fibers in the fabric. The wire may include a kink or other irregularity that presses against the inner surface of the flexible tube. When the wire is rotated or moved into an appropriate position, the kink may press against the inner surface of the tube, which in turn forms a protrusion on the fabric. The protrusion may press against the user's body and may therefore be used to obtain the attention of a user that is wearing or holding the fabric-based electronic device.

Wearable electronic devices that employ one or more contact sensors (e.g., capacitive sensors and/or biometric sensors) are described. Contact sensors include electromyography sensors and/or capacitive touch sensors. Capacitive touch sensors include single-frequency capacitive touch sensors, recently-proposed swept frequency capacitive touch sensors, and a generalized version of swept frequency capacitive touch sensors referred to as multi-frequency capacitive touch sensors. The contact sensors are integrated into various devices, including generic watchstraps that may be substituted for the existing watchstrap in any wristwatch design, generic watch back-plates that may be substituted for the existing back-plate in any wristwatch design, and wearable electromyography devices that provide gesture-based control in a human-electronics interface. 1. A wristwatch comprising:a housing having a top surface that includes a display and an inner cavity that includes a timekeeping device; anda watchstrap that is flexible and carries a set of components and a set of communication pathways, the watchstrap physically coupled to the housing, wherein the set of components includes at least one contact sensor and at least one communication terminal, and wherein the at least one communication terminal is communicatively coupled to the at least one contact sensor by at least one communication pathway in the set of communication pathways.2. The wristwatch of wherein the set of components carried by the watchstrap includes:a digital processor communicatively coupled in between the at least one contact sensor and the communication terminal; anda non-transitory processor-readable storage medium communicatively coupled to the digital processor, and wherein the non-transitory processor-readable storage medium stores processor-executable contact sensing instructions that, when executed by the digital processor, cause the digital processor to process signals received from the at least one ...
