    摘要: An electronic timepiece in accordance with the present invention includes a time clocking circuit for counting reference signals from a reference signal generating circuit to provide time information as its output; a warning device for warning the user of a specific time, by use of vibrations or a buzzer, on the basis of time information derived from the time clocking circuit; and a timepiece state detection device for detecting the states of the temperature and the power source voltage of the timepiece and, if the detection values deviate from predetermined values, the detection device operates to stop the warning action of the warning means. The timings of time information derived from the time clocking circuit differ from each other between when the timepiece state detection device has detected a low temperature of the timepiece and when it has detected a low voltage at the power source, and differ from the time information timing at the normal state. This prevents any batteries' consumption which may otherwise be caused by the meaningless warning, and makes it possible to inform the user of the states of the timepiece through the movement of the hands.
