1. A watch comprising: a housing having a channel and a recess; anda band having an attachment unit configured to engage within the channel, wherein the attachment unit comprises:a body portion insertable into the channel;a catch member; andan actuation mechanism that is arranged to be accessible outside the channel while the body portion is within the channel, wherein the actuation mechanism, when actuated, is configured to move the catch member from a first position in which the catch member extends from the body portion and into the recess to a second position in which the catch member is retracted toward the body portion and out of the recess. 2. The watch of claim 1, wherein the catch member is coupled to the actuation mechanism and the actuation mechanism includes multiple detents that interact with the catch member when the actuation mechanism is actuated. 3. The watch of claim 1, wherein the catch member is coupled to a spring and the actuation mechanism includes multiple detents that interact with the spring when the actuation mechanism is actuated. 4. The watch of claim 1, wherein the actuation mechanism, when moved laterally within the body portion, is configured to engage with a ramp or channel on the catch member to move the catch member from the first position to the second position. 5. The watch of claim 1, wherein the actuation mechanism, when actuated, is flush or substantially flush with an end of the body portion. 6. The watch of claim 1, wherein the actuation mechanism is arranged to extend from a first side of the body portion while the catch member is in the first position and extend from a second side of the body portion while the catch member is in the second position. 7. The watch of claim 1, wherein the actuation mechanism is moveable in first direction and the catch member is moveable in a second direction, transverse to the first direction. 8. A band for securing a watch to a user, the band comprising: a strap; andan attachment unit configured to engage a housing of the watch, the attachment unit comprising: a body portion for insertion within a channel of the housing;a catch member configured to move between a first position in which the catch member extends from the body portion and into a recess of the housing and a second position in which the catch member is retracted toward the body portion and out of the recess; andan actuation mechanism that is arranged to be accessible outside the channel while the catch member is within the recess, wherein the actuation mechanism is moveable relative to the catch member to allow the catch member to move from the first position to the second position. 9. The band of claim 8, wherein the catch member is coupled to the actuation mechanism and the actuation mechanism includes multiple detents that interact with the catch member when the actuation mechanism is actuated. 10. The band of claim 8, wherein the catch member is coupled to a spring and the actuation mechanism includes multiple detents that interact with the spring when the actuation mechanism is actuated. 11. The band of claim 8, wherein the actuation mechanism, when moved laterally within the body portion, is configured to engage with a ramp or channel on the catch member to move the catch member from the first position to the second position. 12. The band of claim 8, wherein the actuation mechanism, when actuated, is flush or substantially flush with an end of the body portion. 13. The band of claim 8, wherein the actuation mechanism is arranged to extend from a first side of the body portion while the catch member is in the first position and extend from a second side of the body portion while the catch member is in the second position. 14. The band of claim 8, wherein the actuation mechanism is moveable in first direction and the catch member is moveable in a second direction, transverse to the first direction. 15. A band for securing a watch to a user, the band comprising: a strap; andan attachment unit configured to engage a housing of the watch, the attachment unit comprising: a body portion for insertion within a channel of the housing;a catch member; andan actuation mechanism moveable relative to the catch member between a first position in which the actuation mechanism urges the catch member to extend from the body portion and into a recess of the housing and a second position in which the actuation mechanism allows the catch member to retract toward a detent of the actuation mechanism and out of the recess. 16. The band of claim 15, wherein the catch member is coupled to a spring and the detent interacts with the spring when the actuation mechanism is actuated. 17. The band of claim 15, wherein the actuation mechanism, when moved laterally within the body portion, is configured to engage with a ramp or channel on the catch member to move the catch member from the first position to the second position. 18. The band of claim 15, wherein the actuation mechanism, when actuated, is flush or substantially flush with an end of the body portion. 19. The band of claim 15, wherein the actuation mechanism is arranged to extend from a first side of the body portion while the catch member is in the first position and extend from a second side of the body portion while the catch member is in the second position. 20. The band of claim 15, wherein the actuation mechanism is moveable in first direction and the catch member is moveable in a second direction, transverse to the first direction.
