A wrist-carried radiotelephone, operable without removing from a user's wrist, includes a housing including a display and a battery, and a wristband having a plurality of rigid and flexing portions. The flexing portions mechanically connect the rigid portions. The wristband is electrically and mechanically coupled to the housing. The radiotelephone circuitry is distributed within the rigid portions of the wristband and is interconnected through the flexing portions of the wristband. The circuitry is coupled to the display and the battery through the wristband.
