Abstract:
1. An electronic apparatus to be worn on the wrist, particularly a wristwatch, including a case and a pressure sensor which is mounted in a housing of the case and has an exposed surface inside said housing for receiving the ambient pressure, said housing opening out onto an external face of the case and being closed on said face by a cap having an external wall provided with at least one orifice in front of the housing for transmitting the ambient pressure from the outside of the case towards the housing, wherein said external face of the case is located on a side of the case which is not in contact with the wearer's wrist and wherein at least one protective screen is arranged in the housing behind said orifice or orifices of the cap so as to prevent any straight line communication between said orifice or orifices of the cap and the exposed surface of the pressure sensor, such that any transmission path of the ambient pressure to the exposed surface of the pressure sensor is sinuous.
