20. A non-transitory storage medium storing instructions, the instructions configured to be executed by at least one processor to enable the at least one processor to perform at least one operation in a wearable electronic device, the at least one operation comprising:
detecting a coupling of a wearable electronic device with an external accessory configured to contact a user's body, wherein the external accessory includes a pad body and a receiving wall extending vertically from the pad body so as to form an opening for coupling to the wearable electronic device, a first connection terminal disposed on the receiving wall so as to contact a first electrode of the wearable electronic device disposed on a side surface thereof, and a second connection terminal disposed on a base of the opening so as to contact a second electrode of the wearable electronic device disposed on a bottom surface thereof, when the wearable electronic device is coupled to the external accessory; and
based on detecting the coupling of the wearable electronic device with the external accessory, measuring a biometric signal using a voltage received from at least two measurement electrodes from among a plurality of measurement electrodes included in the external accessory.
