In a first embodiment, when the view-inhibiting assembly inhibits the view of the display through the display window in the dial, there is an absence of information visible in the display window. In an alternative embodiment, the view-inhibiting assembly comprises indicia different from the information being displayed by the display when the display is visible through the display window. In yet another embodiment, the view-inhibiting assembly comprises a ring, wherein the ring is divided into regions (i) having indicia thereon and (ii) that are transparent such that when the ring rotates so that the regions with indicia thereon are viewable within the display window, the display is not visible in the display window and when the ring rotates so that the transparent regions are viewable within the display window, the display is visible in the display window. In the preferred embodiment, the electronic device is a wristwatch.</p> |
