A watch includes an hour hand having a first conductive portion and rotating about an hour hand shaft, a seconds hand having a second conductive portion and rotating at a rotational speed faster than that of the hour hand about a seconds hand shaft, which is coaxial with the hour hand shaft, and a planar inverted-F antenna disposed, in plan view viewed from a direction parallel to the hour hand shaft, at a position overlapping a rotation range of the first conductive portion and a rotation range of the second conductive portion, and receiving a radio wave, and when the planar inverted-F antenna receives a radio wave, a controller, after rotating the seconds hand and then stopping the seconds hand at a reception indication position, rotates the hour hand such that the first conductive portion and the second conductive portion overlap each other in the plan view.

Watch and method for controlling watch

An electronic device has a reception device; a display device; an input device; a display controller that controls the display device to display the set time zone data when a first operation of the input device instructing displaying time zone data is detected; a positioning driver that operates the reception device to run a reception process and acquire positioning information when a second operation of the input device instructing starting reception in the navigation mode is detected while time zone data is displayed on the display device; and a time zone setter that sets time zone data based on the acquired positioning information.

Electronic device, and control method of an electronic device

An electronic timepiece has a storage unit (flash ROM) that stores local time information related to positioning information and time difference information, and version information of the local time information; a version display unit (display device) capable of displaying the version information; and a display control unit that displays the version information on the version display unit.
