Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 8:
9. A wearable electronic device comprising:
an enclosure defining a first electrically conductive portion and an opening:
a non-conductive sleeve positioned in the opening of the enclosure and defining a sleeve opening; and
a tactile switch assembly configured to receive a translational input and a rotational input, the tactile switch assembly comprising:
a head defining a second electrically conductive portion;
a coupling comprising a conductive shaft coupled to the head and extending through the sleeve opening;
a dome switch positioned proximate an end of the coupling and configured to actuate in response to the translational input; and
an electrical contact positioned between the dome switch and the end of the coupling and electrically coupled to the second electrically conductive portion by the conductive shaft, wherein:

the wearable electronic device is configured to measure an electrical parameter using a first electrical signal received at the first electrically conductive portion and a second electrical signal received at the second electrically conductive portion.
