Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, when the connecting line 2 is dragged, since the back of the wearable device is in contact with the wrist 6, the plug 3 cannot move to the side away from the bottom wall of the groove 12, and when the plug 3 has a tendency to move along the extension direction of the wire groove 13, the side wall of the groove 12 will limit the movement of the plug 3, thereby improving the connection stability between the plug 3 and the interface assembly, and reducing the probability of the plug 3 on the connecting line 2 and the interface assembly of the host 4 becoming loose or even detached.

When the plug 3 is inserted into the groove 12, the plug 3 is completely placed in the groove 12, and the back of the plug 3 remains flush with the first surface 11. When worn, the contact surface between the wearable device and the skin can remain flat, thereby improving comfort.

[0065] Optionally, refer to Fig.11 A second probe 31 is provided at one end of the plug 3 .

[0066] Specifically, there are multiple second probes 31, which are evenly spaced along the length direction of the plug 3.
