Abstract:
1. A band wearable by a user connectable or connected to a watchcase or a decorative item, comprising a plurality of separable units and releasable connection means for releasably connecting at least some of said units together to form said band, or for releasably connecting one of said units to a watchcase or a decorative item, a length of said band being user adjustable by adding or removing one or more of said units forming said band, wherein: a. a first of two adjacent units is provided with a protrusion and a second of said two adjacent units or a watchcase or a decorative item, is provided with a complementary recess defined between a first side member and a second side member and sized and shaped to accommodate said protrusion such that said protrusion is positionable between said first side member and said second side member, and wherein, b. said releasable connection means comprising first and second operable means manually actuable or depressible by a finger of a user so as to be movable relative to the first and second side members respectively, and two connection members movable into the first and second side members respectively, wherein movement of the first operable means in a first direction brings about movement of the second connection member in the first direction to a retracted position in the second side member, and movement of the second operable means in a second direction opposite to the first direction brings about movement of the first connection member in the second direction to a retracted position in the first side member, such that pushing of both operable means towards each other causes both connection members to move relatively away from each other to their respective retracted positions thereby releasing two adjacent units from each other whereby the length of said band is then adjusted by adding thereto or removing therefrom one or more said units.
