I'm pretty sure it tucks away into the band.  Action shot from ThinkGeek 
sort of backs up that assumption (although not conclusively):

This other shot of the watch (found via searching "usb watch" at 
images.google.com) shows more clearly that it tucks into the band.

And yet another:

No guarantees that they're all the same watch, but a cursory comparison 
would seem to indicate that they are.
