1. A wrist-worn wearable computing device, comprising:
a housing having an interior surface and an exterior surface of the wrist-worn wearable computing device, the interior surface configured to at least partially contact tissue of a wrist of a user, wherein the housing of the wrist-worn wearable computing device is configured to be coupled with a wristband that is configured to wrap around the wrist of the user to secure the housing against the wrist of the user;
a plurality of sensors disposed at least partially within the housing, the plurality of sensors configured to acquire data from the user to monitor at least one of physical activity, sleep, or health of the user, the plurality of sensors comprising:
one or more light-emitting components configured to emit light associated with two or more wavelengths, wherein the two or more wavelengths include a first wavelength associated with infrared light and a second wavelength associated with visible light; and
a plurality of light-receiving components configured to receive the light associated with the two or more wavelengths;
a communication module communicatively coupled with the plurality of sensors, the communication module configured to transmit, to a user device, the data acquired by the plurality of sensors, an analysis of the data generated by one or more processors of the wrist-worn wearable computing device, or both;
a rechargeable battery electrically coupled with the plurality of sensors and the communication module; and
a power management module configured to wirelessly receive power, from a case external to the wrist-worn wearable computing device, through the exterior surface of the housing via an inductive charging process to recharge the rechargeable battery while the user is wearing the wrist-worn wearable computing device.
