Abstract
An electronic timepiece and control method of an electronic timepiece prevent system shutdowns due to a voltage drop, and increase opportunities to acquire time information. An electronic timepiecehas a reception modulethat receives satellite signals; a storage batterythat supplies drive power; a voltage detection circuitthat detects the voltage of the storage battery; a temperature detectorthat detects temperature; a reception command unit that instructs receiving satellite signals; and a reception controller that executes a reception process to receive satellite signals in response to a command from the reception command unit. The reception controller executes the reception process when the detected battery voltage is greater than or equal to a threshold set for the detected temperature, and does not execute the reception process when the reserve power is less than the threshold.
