The submitted sample is a wrist watch containing a battery-operated electronic watch movement with a liquid crystal display (LCD) in a round polyvinyl chloride (PVC) case. The Genio Jelly Watch features a flexible PVC strap with a fragrance material molded into it. The watch head is removable and easily slips into any of 6 bands molded in 6 different colors.
