An electronic timepiece includes a timer (112, 113, 114) that clocks a current time, a receiver (109) that receives radio waves, a switch (11-14,108) that receives an operation from a user, and a processor (110, 110a). The processor (110, 110a) acquires, in accordance with the operation received by the switch (11-14,108), a determination result indicating whether the radio waves are receivable by the receiver (109), and selects and executes one of a first processing and at least one second processing that differs from the first processing. The first processing is processing to correct the current time clocked by the timer (112, 113, 114) on the basis of the radio waves received by the receiver (109). The processor does not select the first processing when the determination results indicate that the radio waves are not receivable by the receiver (109).

A satellite radio-controlled watch, including a receiving unit (20) for receiving a satellite radio wave containing time information and position information; a storage unit (32) for storing intersection point information indicating a position of an intersection point between a reference line along a great circle orthogonal to a specific great circle on the earth or a reference line along the specific great circle on the earth or a circle parallel to the great circle and a time zone boundary, and time difference division information on a wedge-shaped or belt-shaped area that is adjacent to the reference line and to which the intersection point belongs, and a time zone determination unit (31a) for determining a time zone, based on the position information, the intersection point information, and the time difference division information.

In a satellite radio-controlled wristwatch, processing ranging from a user's operation through a reception operation to the completion of time adjustment is rapidly accomplished. The satellite radio-controlled wristwatch according to the present invention includes: a satellite radio wave reception unit including an antenna, a high frequency circuit, and a decoder circuit; an analog indication member for indicating at least that a reception operation is in process and a reception result; a clock circuit for holding and counting an internal time; an operating member for receiving an operation of a user; and a controller for controlling timings of at least: an activation operation of activating the satellite radio wave reception unit; an acquisition and tracking operation of acquiring and tracking a certain satellite radio wave; a time information acquisition operation of acquiring time information from the satellite radio wave; a continuous operation detection operation of detecting that the operating member is operated continuously; and a reception indication movement operation of moving the analog indication member to a position indicating that the reception operation is in progress, the controller being configured to carry out such control that the reception indication movement operation overlaps with at least one of the activation operation or the acquisition and tracking operation.
