Garmin rotatable watch button patent among wearable rivals' filings

Garmin has filed a patent for a rotatable control button on watches, according to a report dated October 8, 2026. The same report groups this filing with patents from other wearable companies: a Google method for predicting atrial fibrillation, Oura snoring detection, and a Suunto wireless watch charger design. The report also states that Whoop filed its W logo and WHOOP word mark for retail store services with the USPTO, plus a matching WHOOP application at the EUIPO. No further details on the Garmin patent, such as filing date, claims, or specific watch models, were provided in the supplied reporting. Earlier coverage of this event is not included in the reports available for this update, so the digest reflects only the single October 8 report.
