Abstract
A smartwatch and a control method thereof are disclosed. According to an embodiment, the smartwatch includes a tilt sensor unit configured to sense a tilt of the smartwatch; a display unit configured to display an image; and a processor configured to control the tilt sensor unit and the display unit, wherein, when a front of the display unit is directed in a predetermined direction, the processor is further configured to: acquire, using the tilt sensor unit, a first rotation angle in a first direction when the smartwatch rotates in the first direction based on a rotation axis of the smartwatch and perform a first command corresponding to the first direction when the first rotation angle exceeds a first threshold angle, acquire, using the tilt sensor unit, a second rotation angle in a second direction when the smartwatch rotates in the second direction based on the rotation axis and perform a second command corresponding to the second direction when the second rotation angle exceeds a second threshold angle, and wherein the first direction is an opposite direction of the second direction and the first threshold angle is greater than the second threshold angle.
