Do you know anything about that rumored "hidden" and "undocumented" connector that lives where the wrist band connects to the body? The one that some band company claims they can charge the watch through?
Is that connector mentioned in the patent application?
They are going to develop a band that charges the watch off the body’s voltage and/or micro kinetic motions.
Yes. It's a port for data connections intended for quickly programming the watch, testing for diagnosis of problems, but not designed for charging or power take off. The watch bands slide in from the side, so utilizing it as a connector with a band might be engineered around but it is not intended in Apple's design for that. I'm pretty sure Apple will not certify any peripheral for connection through that port.
It won't be listed in this design patent. It is in the utility patent.
For the design patent, the single claim is only for how the object looks, and not for any functional features. So design patents are typically only a small number of pages (e.g., 2-5), whereas as utility patents typically are many more and describe how to make and use the invention.
