         13 . The smart lid and tumbler device of  claim 12 , wherein the silicone mold component is sized and shaped to mirror the lid component and comprises a protrusion which is aligned with the recessed area to completely encase the watch face component when in position. 
     
     
         14 . The smart lid and tumbler device of  claim 13 , wherein the silicone mold component is transparent, waterproof, and flexible, and secures around the smartwatch and the lid component via an interference fit. 
     
     
         15 . The smart lid and tumbler device of  claim 11 , wherein the lid mechanism is a magnetic slide component that is secured to the top of the lid component, adjacent to the recessed area, and slides over a top of the smartwatch, securing the smartwatch within the recessed area. 
     
     
         16 . The smart lid and tumbler device of  claim 1  wherein, a pouch, a strap, or a bag is used to secure the watch face component and attach it to the tumbler component and the lid component. 
     
     
         17 . A smart lid and tumbler device that provides a user with a modified lid and tumbler for retaining a smartwatch, the smart lid and tumbler device comprising:
 a tumbler component comprises a top end and a bottom end, with an upper rim which defines a tumbler opening which allows access to an interior cavity;   a lid component which is sized and shaped to fit within a circumference of the tumbler opening, sealing the tumbler opening; and   a recessed area sized and shaped to retain a watch face component of a smartwatch;   wherein the lid component is secured onto the tumbler component in a conventional way for beverage containers;   wherein either or both the tumbler component and the lid component comprise at least one recessed area;   wherein users magnetically attach the watch face component directly to the tumbler component or directly on the lid component via magnetic areas on the tumbler component and the lid component which secure to magnetic areas on a back of the watch face component;   wherein a silicone mold component is used to mate with and completely cover the lid component and encase and protect the watch face component while in the recessed area; and   further wherein the silicone mold component is transparent, waterproof, and flexible, and secures around the smartwatch and the lid component via an interference fit.   
     
     
         18 . The smart lid and tumbler device of  claim 17  wherein the tumbler component comprises lights and a speaker which are wirelessly paired with the smartwatch secured to the tumbler device.
