1. A wearable electronic device comprising:
a housing comprising an inner surface and an outer surface;
an electronic part disposed within the housing, the electronic part configured to acquire acceleration data from a user associated with the wearable electronic device; and
one or more processors communicatively coupled to the electronic part, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
receive the acceleration data from the electronic part;
identify a gesture performed by the user based at least in part on the acceleration data;
determine that the gesture matches a gesture pattern from a plurality of gesture patterns; and
generate a message based at least in part on the gesture matching the gesture pattern, wherein the message is configured to cause a feedback component of the wearable electronic device to provide feedback to the user, cause a communication component of the wearable electronic device to transmit a signal to an external device, or both.
