It instructs the scale of the reception state display area, characterized by instructing the scale of the voltage condition display area when the power supply voltage detection function is executed.

また、これに加えて、夏時間表示領域９３Ｄが設けられているので、夏時間表示領域９３Ｄの「ＯＮ，ＯＦＦ」のいずれかの記号が１つの指針９１が指示されることにより、ＤＳＴがＯＮ状態にあるのか否かを認識することができる。
さらに、各表示領域９３Ａ〜９３Ｄが第３小窓９０の目盛表示部９３に設けられていることから、駆動機構１４０を駆動させることにより１つの指針９１を駆動させ、当該指針９１により全ての表示領域９３Ａ〜９３Ｄを指示できるので、例えば、２つの指針で上記内容を表示する場合に比べて、消費電力を低減できる。
したがって、ユーザーは、１つの指針９１が各表示領域９１Ａ〜９４Ｄのうちいずれの領域を指示しているかによって、現在実行されている機能を認識でき、さらに、その指針９１の指示している目盛を見ることで、さらに詳しい各機能を実行している状態を認識できる。これにより、ユーザーは、多機能の電子時計１０を操作性よく扱うことができ、ユーザビリティを向上できる。 In addition to this, since the daylight saving time display area 93D is provided, one of the symbols "ON, OFF" in the daylight saving time display area 93D is instructed by one pointer 91, so that the DST is turned on. It is possible to recognize whether or not there is.
Further, since the display areas 93A to 93D are provided in the scale display section 93 of the third small window 90, one pointer 91 is driven by driving the driving mechanism 140, and all the display is performed by the pointer 91. Since the areas 93 </ b> A to 93 </ b> D can be instructed, for example, power consumption can be reduced compared to the case where the above contents are displayed with two hands .
Therefore, the user can recognize the currently executed function depending on which one of the display areas 91A to 94D is indicated by one pointer 91, and further, the scale indicated by the pointer 91 is displayed. By seeing, it is possible to recognize the state that more detailed functions are being executed. Thereby, the user can handle the multifunctional electronic timepiece 10 with good operability, and usability can be improved.

前記実施形態の電子時計１０では、第３小窓９０の目盛表示部９３の左半分には、受信状態（受信モード）を表示する受信状態表示領域９３Ｂと、電圧状態（電池残量）を表示する電圧状態表示領域９３Ｃと、ＤＳＴの設定を表示する夏時間表示領域９３Ｄとの３つの表示領域を設定していたが、図１０（Ａ）に示すように、二次電池１３０の電圧状態を表示する電圧状態表示領域９３Ｃのみを設定してもよい。この図１０（Ａ）では、目盛表示部９３の０時と６時を結んだ仮想線を基準とした左半分の領域である電圧状態表示領域９３Ｃに電圧状態を示す「Ｆ」、「Ｍ」、「Ｅ」が表示される。 In the electronic timepiece 10 of the embodiment, the left half of the scale display section 93 of the third small window 90 displays a reception state display area 93B for displaying a reception state (reception mode) and a voltage state (remaining battery level). Three display areas, a voltage state display area 93C for displaying and a daylight saving time display area 93D for displaying the setting of DST, are set. As shown in FIG. 10A, the voltage state of the secondary battery 130 is displayed. Only the voltage state display area 93C to be set may be set. In the FIG. 10 (A), the indicating voltage states in a left half area relative to the 0 o'clock and virtual line connecting the six o'clock scale display unit 93 voltage condition display area 93C "F", "M" , “E” is displayed.

さらに、図１２（Ａ）〜（Ｃ）に示すように、目盛表示部９３の左半分の領域に、受信状態表示領域９３Ｂおよび電圧状態表示領域９３Ｃの２つの表示領域を設定してもよい。前記実施形態と同じく、受信状態表示領域９３Ｂは受信モード（ＯＦＦ、ＴＩＭＥ、ＦＩＸ）を表示し、電圧状態表示領域９３Ｃは電池残量（Ｅ，Ｍ，Ｆ）を表示する。なお、図１２（Ａ）〜（Ｃ）は、表示の並び順が異なるものであり、図１２（Ａ）は、目盛表示部９３の左半分の領域の下側から時計回りに、「Ｅ、Ｍ、Ｆ、ＯＦＦ、ＴＩＭＥ、ＦＩＸ」と並べたものであり、図１２（Ｂ）は、目盛表示部９３の左半分の領域の下側から時計回りに、「ＯＦＦ、ＴＩＭＥ、ＦＩＸ、Ｅ、Ｍ、Ｆ」と並べたものである。また、図１２（Ｃ）は、目盛表示部９３の左半分の領域の下側から時計回りに、「ＦＩＸ、ＴＩＭＥ、ＯＦＦ／Ｅ、Ｍ、Ｆ」と並べたものである。「ＯＦＦ」は受信禁止モードを意味し、「Ｅ」は電池残量が低いため受信処理を禁止する制御モードとなること意味し、どちらも受信処理を開始できない点で同じであるため、図１２（Ｃ）では同じ位置に表示した。
これらの変形例では、通常時刻表示中は、指針９１は電圧状態表示領域９３Ｃの電池残量を指示する。第２操作部１５７ＢのＢボタン６２が押下されると、第２機能部３０１によって衛星信号の受信処理が行われ、指針９１は「ＴＩＭＥ」、「ＦＩＸ」のいずれかを指示する。第１操作部１５７ＡのＣボタン６３が押下されると、前記実施形態と同じくクロノグラフ機能に切り替わり、指針９１は１２時側の「０」を指示する。
これらの表示例によれば、上記実施形態に比べて、ＤＳＴの設定表示、すなわち、目盛表示部９３に夏時間表示領域９３Ｄが設けられていないため、指針９１の指示を確認しやすく、ユーザビリティを向上できる。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 12A to 12C, two display areas of a reception state display area 93 </ b> B and a voltage state display area 93 </ b> C may be set in the left half area of the scale display unit 93. As in the previous embodiment, the reception state display area 93B displays the reception mode (OFF, TIME, FIX), and the voltage state display area 93C displays the remaining battery level (E, M, F). 12 (A) to (C) are different in the display order, and FIG. 12 (A) shows “E” clockwise from the lower half of the left half area of the scale display section 93. , M, F, OFF, TIME, FIX ”, and FIG. 12B shows“ OFF, TIME, FIX , E ”clockwise from the lower side of the left half area of the scale display section 93. , M, F ". FIG. 12C shows “FIX, TIME, OFF / E, M, F” arranged clockwise from the lower half of the left half area of the scale display section 93. “OFF” means a reception inhibition mode, and “E” means a control mode in which reception processing is prohibited because the remaining battery level is low, both of which are the same in that the reception processing cannot be started. In (C), they are displayed at the same position.
In these modifications, the pointer 91 indicates the remaining battery level in the voltage state display area 93C during normal time display. When the B button 62 of the second operation unit 157B is pressed, satellite signal reception processing is performed by the second function unit 301, and the pointer 91 indicates either "TIME" or "FIX". When the C button 63 of the first operation unit 157A is pressed, the chronograph function is switched as in the above-described embodiment, and the pointer 91 indicates “0” on the 12 o'clock side.
According to these display examples, the setting display of DST, that is, since the daylight saving time display area 93D is not provided in the scale display section 93, it is easier to confirm the indication of the pointer 91 and the usability is improved as compared with the above embodiment. it can.

上記実施形態において、第２操作部１５７ＢのＡボタン６１およびＢボタン６２と、第１操作部１５７ＡのＣボタン６３およびＤボタン６４とが外装ケース３０の左右逆側に設けられることとしてもよい。この場合、目盛表示部９３の計測時間表示領域９３Ａは、１２時と６時を結んだ仮想線を基準として左側に設けられ、受信状態表示領域９３Ｂは、上記仮想線を基準として右側に設けることとすればよい。すなわち、目盛表示部９３の計測時間表示領域９３Ａと第１操作部１５７ＡのＣボタン６３およびＤボタン６４とが、目盛表示部９３の受信状態表示領域９３Ｂと第２操作部１５７ＢのＡボタン６１およびＢボタン６２とが、それぞれ前記仮想線を基準として同方向に設けられればよい。さらに、計測時間表示領域９３Ａは、９時と３時を結んだ仮想直線を基準として上側に設け、受信状態表示領域９３Ｂを下側に設けるようにしてもよい。この場合も同様に、第１操作部１５７ＡのＣボタン６３およびＤボタン６４は、外装ケース３０の上側に設けられ、第２操作部１５７ＢのＡボタン６１およびＢボタン６２は、外装ケース３０の下側に設けられる。また、この関係で上下逆でもよい。
ただし、クロノグラフ機能の操作性を考慮した場合、通常、時計は左腕に装着されて使用されるので、前記実施形態の各表示領域の配置が最も望ましい。 In the above embodiment, the A button 61 and the B button 62 of the second operation unit 157B and the C button 63 and the D button 64 of the first operation unit 157A may be provided on the left and right sides of the exterior case 30. In this case, the measurement time display area 93A of the scale display unit 93 is provided on the left side with reference to the virtual line connecting 12:00 and 6 o'clock, and the reception state display area 93B is provided on the right side with reference to the virtual line. And it is sufficient. That is, the measurement time display area 93A of the scale display section 93 and the C button 63 and D button 64 of the first operation section 157A are the reception status display area 93B of the scale display section 93 and the A button 61 of the second operation section 157B. The B button 62 may be provided in the same direction with respect to the virtual line. Furthermore, the measurement time display area 93A may be provided on the upper side with reference to a virtual straight line connecting 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock, and the reception state display area 93B may be provided on the lower side. Similarly, in this case, the C button 63 and the D button 64 of the first operation unit 157A are provided on the upper side of the exterior case 30, and the A button 61 and the B button 62 of the second operation unit 157B are disposed below the exterior case 30. Provided on the side. In this relation, it may be upside down.
However, considering the operability of the chronograph function, the watch is usually mounted on the left arm and used, and therefore, the arrangement of the display areas in the embodiment is most desirable.
