The invention relates to an electronic device (1) with electronics (9) comprising electronic and/or electromechanical components (11) arranged in an electronic chamber (7), the device being able to automatically detect and/or monitor wear of its electronic and/or electromechanical components (11), comprising a device (15) for the detection and/or monitoring of wear of the electronic and/or electromechanical components (11), the device having at least one part (17, 17a, 17b) that is arranged in the electronic chamber (7) and is independent from the electronics (9), wherein the part has at least one physical property that changes irreversibly as a function of the wear of the part (17, 17a, 17b). A circuit (31) for measuring said physical property is provided. The invention further comprises an evaluation unit (33), which detects and/or monitors wear of the part (17, 17a, 17b) based on the measured physical property and providing an output signal (S) that is dependent on the wear.
