Abstract
An electronic timepiece having a satellite signal receiver; a standard time signal receiver; a storage battery; a voltage detection circuit that detects the remaining capacity of the storage battery; a satellite signal reception controller; and a standard time signal reception controller. The satellite signal reception controller operates the satellite signal receiver when the battery capacity detected by the voltage detection circuit is greater than or equal to a first threshold and the automatic reception condition is met. The standard time signal reception controller operates the standard time signal receiver when the automatic reception condition for the standard time signal is met whether the reserve power is greater than or equal to the first threshold and when the reserve power is less than the first threshold.
