An electronic timepiece includes: a 6 o'clock information display unit that displays one display mode among a plurality of display modes including a barometric display mode in which a barometric pressure is displayed, using a first display hand; a 10 o'clock information display unit that displays a change in the barometric pressure using a second hand in a case in which the display mode displayed by the 6 o'clock information display unit is the barometric display mode; a 2 o'clock information display unit that displays the barometric pressure using measurement display hands in the case in which the display mode displayed by the 6 o'clock information display unit is the barometric display mode; and a time display unit that displays a time using an hour hand and a minute hand irrespective of the display mode.

Electronic timepiece

An electronic timepiece includes: a measurement result obtaining section configured to obtain a measurement result of a display target item which is any measurement item among a plurality of measurement items; a display configured to display the measurement result of the display target item; and a display controller configured to cause the display to display the measurement result of the display target item during a display period that corresponds to the display target item, in which the display period is set in accordance with each of the plurality of measurement items.

Electronic timepiece, measurement system, and measurement result display method

An electronic timepiece includes a measuring section that measures a predetermined measurement item, a display capable of displaying the result of the measurement performed by the measuring section, a battery that supplies electric power for driving the measuring section and the display, and a processor including an action controller that prevents switching to a display mode that causes the display to display the measurement result in a case where the remaining battery level of the battery is lower than a predetermined value.

Electronic timepiece and control method

An electronic timepiece includes a sensor, a dial plate, and a subdial. The sensor is configured to execute a measurement. The dial plate has hands that indicate a time. The subdial is disposed on the dial plate and has a subdial hand and a first region indicating that the measurement is being executed. The subdial hand points to the first region when the sensor executes the measurement.

An electronic timepiece includes a measurement unit which is measuring a predetermined measurement item, a storage unit which stores measurement result information in which a measurement result obtained by the measurement unit is associated with a measurement time when the measurement result is obtained, and a display unit which displays the measurement result and the measurement time by hands.

An electronic timepiece includes: a barometric pressure sensor; a letter plate that has a 'MEAS' letter indicating 'measurement progress'; and a second display hand that displays that measurement of a barometric pressure is being executed by pointing a region in which the &#x201c;MEAS&#x201d; letter is disposed in a case in which the barometric pressure sensor performs measurement of the barometric pressure.

An electronic watch having an altitude display mode of displaying an altitude, a compass display mode of displaying a direction, a barometric pressure display mode of displaying barometric pressure as display modes includes a dial face having an 'ALT' area, a 'COM' area, and a &#x201c;BAR&#x201d; area and a first pointer displaying the altitude display mode by pointing the &#x201c;ALT&#x201d; area, displaying the compass display mode by pointing the &#x201c;COM&#x201d; area, and displaying the barometric pressure display mode by pointing the &#x201c;BAR&#x201d; area. In the dial face, the &#x201c;ALT&#x201d; area, &#x201c;COM&#x201d; area, and &#x201c;BAR&#x201d; area are arranged in an order of the &#x201c;ALT&#x201d; area, &#x201c;COM&#x201d; area, and &#x201c;BAR&#x201d; area. In a turning direction of the first pointer, a distance between the &#x201c;ALT&#x201d; area and &#x201c;COM&#x201d; area and a distance between the &#x201c;COM&#x201d; area and &#x201c;BAR&#x201d; area are shorter than a distance between the &#x201c;ALT&#x201d; area and &#x201c;BAR&#x201d; area.

Electronic watch

An electronic timepiece includes a letter plate that has an ALT region, a BAR region, and a COM region and a first display hand that displays indication of an altitude display mode by pointing the ALT region, displays indication of a barometric display mode by pointing the BAR region, and displays indication of an azimuth display mode by pointing the COM region. In the letter plate, the ALT region, the BAR region, and the COM region are arranged in a line in this sequence. In a rotation direction of the first display hand, a distance between the ALT region and the BAR region and a distance between the BAR region and the COM region are shorter than a distance between the COM region and the ALT region.
