1. A wearable electronic device comprising:
a housing comprising a first portion and a second portion, the first portion forming a first outer surface of the wearable electronic device and the second portion forming a second outer surface of the wearable electronic device;
at least one electronic component positioned in an inner space of the housing and configured to emit heat; and
multiple support structures which are at least partially positioned to correspond to the at least one electronic component between the first portion and the second portion,
wherein the multiple support structures are at least partially separated from each other,
wherein one or more support structures among the multiple support structures are configured to protrude toward the at least one electronic component to be in indirect contact with the at least one electronic component,
wherein a boundary part between the first portion and the second portion is at least partially positioned along a surface boundary between the first outer surface and the second outer surface and comprises at least one opening, and
wherein an at least one distancing space between the multiple support structures is configured to communicate with an outer space of the housing through the at least one opening.
