  The invention according to claim 6 is the wristwatch-type electronic device according to any one of claims 1 to 5, wherein the electronic device main body includes a memory and is configured to be connectable with an information terminal and a communication cable. The alarm reservation setting time and message input at the key switch operation unit of the information terminal are received via the cable and stored in the memory, and at the same time, an alarm timer is started. It is characterized by that.

  That is, it is difficult to secure a space in which key switches capable of inputting characters can be arranged at the key switch operation unit of the electronic device body.

  Therefore, the external information terminal and the electronic device main body are connected by the communication cable, and the alarm reservation setting time and the message data input by the information terminal are received via the communication cable. The received data is stored in the memory of the electronic device body, and an alarm countdown timer is started.

  According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, in the wristwatch-type electronic device according to the sixth aspect, the electronic device main body includes a display unit, and when the alarm reservation set time reaches the current time, the vibration generating means is started simultaneously. The message stored in the memory is displayed on the display unit.

  That is, when the alarm reservation set time reaches the current time, a trigger pulse is generated, and the vibration motor is driven by the trigger pulse. At the same time, a message is called from the memory of the electronic device body, and the display unit displays FIG. ) Disappears and the message (b) is displayed.

  As described above, the present invention can suppress the thickness or size of the main body of the electronic device by disposing the power storage unit and the vibration generating unit having a large capacity separately from the main body of the electronic device. Further, by attaching the terminal port to which the terminal of the charging device for charging is connected to the housing portion of the power storage means, the electronic device main body can be reduced in size by that amount. In addition, a sufficient current capacity can be obtained. In addition, because the method of detecting the set time is vibration, the vibration is detected directly by the body without being known to others, and it is notified that the set time has been reached only for the user himself. For those who are active in the field, it is useful for preventing late appointments and forgetting appointments.
