1. An electronic device, comprising: a housing;an attachment portion capable of coupling the housing to a bottom of a wristwatch to be worn by a wearer;one or more physiological sensors included in the housing that measure one or more physical phenomena corresponding to the wearer of the wristwatch
1. An electronic device, comprising: a housing;an attachment portion capable of coupling the housing to a bottom of a wristwatch to be worn by a wearer;one or more physiological sensors included in the housing that measure one or more physical phenomena corresponding to the wearer of the wristwatch and electronic device coupled to the wristwatch;a memory configured to store data corresponding to the one or more physical phenomena; anda wireless communication device included in the housing for communicating the data to a computing device in wireless communication with the electronic device. 2. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the one or more physiological sensors include one or more of a heart rate sensor, a motion accelerometer, and a thermometer. 3. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the computing device comprises a mobile phone. 4. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the attachment portion comprises suction tape that adheres to the bottom of the wristwatch. 5. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the attachment portion comprises one or more of adhesive, suction cups, suction cup tape, mechanical clasps to the edge or back of the wristwatch, mechanical clasps to a strap of the wristwatch, mechanical clasps to lugs of the wristwatch, pins, and spring bars. 6. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the wireless communication device is capable of implementing Bluetooth® protocol. 7. The electronic device of claim 1, further comprising: a processor configured to calculate a wellness score for the wearer of the wristwatch and electronic device coupled to the wristwatch based on the data corresponding to the one or more physical phenomena; andone or more output devices included in the electronic device to output an indication corresponding to the wellness score. 8. The electronic device of claim 7, wherein calculating the wellness score comprises computing a weighted average of the data corresponding to the one or more physical phenomena. 9. The electronic device of claim 7, wherein the one or more output devices comprise one or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs) configured to illuminate in different colors corresponding to the wellness score. 10. The electronic device of claim 7, wherein the one or more output devices comprise a haptic vibrator configured to vibrate in a manner corresponding to the wellness score. 11. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the housing comprises: a first face that couples the attachment portion to the bottom of the wristwatch, wherein the first face is flat; anda second face opposite the first face that is capable of resting against skin of the wearer of the wristwatch and electronic device coupled to the wristwatch, wherein the second face includes a clear lens through which the one or more physiological sensors are capable of measuring the one or more physical phenomena corresponding to the wearer. 12. A method for operating an electronic device, the method comprising: detecting that the electronic device is being worn a wearer, wherein the electronic device is coupled to a bottom of a wristwatch worn by the wearer;measuring, using one or more physiological sensors included in the electronic device, one or more physical phenomena;storing data corresponding to the one or more physical phenomena in a memory included in the electronic device; andtransmitting the data corresponding to the one or more physical phenomena to a computing device in wireless communication with the electronic device. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the one or more physiological sensors include one or more of a heart rate sensor, a motion accelerometer, and a thermometer. 14. The method of claim 12, wherein the electronic device is coupled to the bottom of the wristwatch worn by the user via suction tape that adheres to the bottom of the wristwatch. 15. The method of claim 12, further comprising: calculating a wellness score based on the data corresponding to the one or more physical phenomena; andoutputting, via one or more output devices included in the electronic device, an indication corresponding to the wellness score. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein calculating the wellness score comprises computing a weighted average of the data corresponding to the one or more physical phenomena. 17. The method of claim 15, wherein the one or more output devices comprise one or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs) configured to illuminate in different colors corresponding to the wellness score. 18. The method of claim 15, wherein the one or more output devices comprise a haptic vibrator configured to vibrate in a manner corresponding to the wellness score. 19. The method of claim 12, wherein detecting that the electronic device is being worn comprises determining that a temperature value of a temperature sensor included in the electronic device is indicative of the electronic device being worn. 20. A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a computer system to operate an electronic device, by performing the steps of: detecting that the electronic device is being worn a wearer, wherein the electronic device is coupled to a bottom of a wristwatch worn by the wearer;measuring, using one or more physiological sensors included in the electronic device, one or more physical phenomena;storing data corresponding to the one or more physical phenomena in a memory included in the electronic device; andtransmitting the data corresponding to the one or more physical phenomena to a computing device in wireless communication with the electronic device. 21. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 20, further comprising: calculating a wellness score based on the data corresponding to the one or more physical phenomena; andoutputting, via one or more output devices included in the electronic device, an indication corresponding to the wellness score.
