FIG. 13 depicts a top view of the tang of the band portion without the buckle.



FIG. 14 is an off-angle view of buckle and tang which are shown with respect to a band around them; this Figure is depicted in a different scale than that of FIGS. 1-13.



FIG. 15 is another off-angle view of the buckle and tang which are shown with respect to the band located around them and which is rendered using broken lines and a lack of shading to indicate that the band portion is unclaimed environmental structure; this Figure is depicted in a different scale than that of FIGS. 1-13.



FIG. 16 is yet another off-angle view of the buckle and tang which are shown with respect to the band ; this Figure is depicted in a different scale than that of FIGS. 1-13.



FIG. 17 is an off-angle view of the buckle and tang which are shown with respect to a first band , and a second band of a wristband, and a low-profile fitness tracker; and,



FIG. 18 is another off-angle view of the buckle and tang of FIG. 17; again, the buckle and tang are shown with respect to the first band, and the second band, and a low-profile fitness tracker.


Stipple shading is used in all of the accompanying Figures to convey surface contouring and not texture. The broken lines shown in the drawings illustrate portions of the buckle and tang or environmental material that form no part of the claimed design. Surfaces that do not include stipple shading and are bounded, at least in part, by broken lines form no part of the claimed design.
