1. An electronic wrist watch comprising an AC power generation means for charging a power supply at a latter stage, a power supply charged by the AC power generation means, and a clock circuit driven by the power supply, wherein the AC power generation means A first backflow prevention unit that rectifies the AC power generation unit in series with the power supply, and a switching that short-circuits the AC power generation unit so that the voltage generated by the AC power generation unit does not exceed the withstand voltage of the power supply. An element, and a second backflow prevention unit that prevents a backflow from the AC power generation unit to the AC power generation unit via the switching element in series between the AC power generation unit and the switching element. An electronic wrist watch characterized in that
