1. A clasp for securing a first strap with a second strap, comprising: a first clasp portion;a first set of magnets movable within the first clasp portion between a first position and a second position, the first clasp portion adapted to be attached with the first strap;a second clasp portion adapted to selectively connect with the first clasp portion; anda second set of magnets positioned within the second clasp portion and adjacent the first set of magnets when the second clasp portion is connected with the first clasp portion, the second clasp portion adapted to be attached with the second strap;wherein, when the first set of magnets is in the first position, the first and second set of magnets create an attractive magnetic force therebetween. 2. The clasp of claim 1, wherein when the first set of magnets is in the second position, the first and second set of magnets create a repulsive magnetic force therebetween. 3. The clasp of claim 1, further comprising: at least one biasing magnet positioned within the first clasp portion adjacent to the first set of magnets, wherein the biasing magnet creates an additional attractive magnetic force that biases the first set of magnets into said first position. 4. The clasp of claim 1, wherein the first set of magnets includes a plurality of magnets of alternating polarities positioned adjacent to one another. 5. The clasp of claim 1, wherein the second set of magnets includes a plurality of magnets of alternating polarities positioned adjacent to one another. 6. The clasp of claim 1, further comprising: at least one button member positioned within the first clasp portion, the button member adapted to receive contact from a user. 7. The clasp of claim 6, wherein the at least one button member includes a latch that selectively secures to a portion of the second clasp portion. 8. The clasp of claim 6, wherein the first set of magnets is positioned within the at least one button member. 9. The clasp of claim 1, further comprising: a first set of corner magnets positioned within the first clasp portion; anda second set of corner magnets positioned within the second clasp portion in a position that such that when the first and second clasp portions are connected together, the first and second set of corner magnets create an additional attractive magnetic force therebetween. 10. The clasp of claim 9, wherein when the first set of magnets is in the second position, the first and second set of magnets create a repulsive magnetic force therebetween that is greater than said additional attractive magnetic force between the first and second set of corner magnets. 11. The clasp of claim 1, wherein the first and second straps are connected with a wearable electronic device. 12. A buckle, comprising: a first buckle portion having a first set of magnets positioned within the first buckle portion; anda second buckle portion having a second set of magnets positioned within the second buckle portion, wherein the first and second set of magnets are adapted to attract the first and second buckle portions together via an attractive magnetic force;wherein the first buckle portion also includes one or more slideable magnets movable between at least a first position and a second position;wherein the second buckle portion also includes one or more magnets in a fixed location within the second buckle portion, the one or more magnets adapted to magnetically interact with the one or more slideable magnets of the first buckle portion. 13. The buckle of claim 12, wherein when the slideable magnets are in the first position, there is an additional attractive magnetic force between the slideable magnets and the one or more magnets in the fixed location within the second buckle portion. 14. The buckle of claim 12, wherein when the slideable magnets are in the second position, there is a repulsive magnetic force between the slideable magnets and the one or more magnets in the fixed location within the second buckle portion. 15. The buckle of claim 14, wherein the repulsive magnetic force is greater than the attractive magnetic force, thereby permitting the first and second buckle portions to be physically separated. 16. The buckle of claim 12, further comprising: at least one biasing magnet positioned within the first buckle portion adjacent to the one or more slideable magnets, wherein the biasing magnet creates a magnetic force that biases the slideable magnets into said first position. 17. The buckle of claim 12, wherein the first buckle portion is adapted to be attached with a first strap; and the second buckle portion is adapted to be attached with a second strap. 18. A method of forming a buckle, comprising: forming a first buckle portion with a first set of magnets movable within the first buckle portion between a first position and a second position;forming a second buckle portion with a second set of magnets positioned in a fixed location within the second buckle portion; andbiasing the first set of magnets toward the first position, such that when the first set of magnets is in the first position, the first and second set of magnets create a first attractive magnetic force therebetween. 19. The method of claim 18, further comprising: positioning a third set of magnets in the first buckle portion;positioning a fourth set of magnets in the second buckle portion;wherein the third and fourth set of magnets create a second attractive magnetic force between the first and second buckle portions. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein when the first set of magnets is in the second position, a repulsive magnetic force is created between the first set of magnets and the second set of magnets, the repulsive magnetic force being greater than the second attractive magnetic force.
