In detecting power generation of an electronic timepiece having a conventional power generating unit, voltage output by the power generating unit is limited by output from a storage unit since the power generating unit and the storage means are connected when the power generation state is detected, and voltage equal to or larger than voltage output from the storage unit cannot be detected. An electronic timepiece is provided which can overcome the problem and can check an operation of the power generating unit securely irrespective of the state of the storage means.In an electronic timepiece driven by power stored from a power generating unit (1) into a storage unit (4), the electronic timepiece includes a power generation detecting unit (2) that detects a power generation state of the power generating unit (1) and a switch unit (7) that separates the power generating unit (1) and the storage unit (4) when the power generation state of the power generating unit (1) is detected. In this case, the switch (7) between the power generating unit (1) and the storage unit (4) is controlled to OFF so that the output from the power generating unit (1) cannot be limited by the output from the storage unit (4).

A data transmitting/receiving system is configured so as to send data to an analog-type watch, without the need to make direct electrical contact thereto and without influencing the drive of the hands of the watch. When a timing signal that is sent from the watch is received, a data transmitting unit performs transmission. The watch does not receive data at other times, and this receiving operation is performed intermittently.

A motor driving apparatus including a stepping motor constituted by a stator having at least two poles. The driving apparatus includes a circuit for biasing one terminal of a driving coil of a motor to an intermediate potential of a power supply voltage. A counterelectromotive voltage detection circuit for detecting a counterelectromotive voltage generated upon rotation of a rotor is arranged at the other terminal. A pulse signal to rotate the rotor is output on the basis of a detection signal output from the counterelectromotive voltage detection circuit.

The alarm clock is formed of time indicating hands (3), alarm hands (4), and an alarm setting device (202, 204, 205, and 207); wherein the alarm setting device is provided with an alarm section (200) which works to stop the movement of alarm hands when the alarm setting device is in the alarm-set condition, and works to move the alarm hands in synchronous motion with the time indicating hands when the alarm setting device is in the non-alarm-set condition. This structure allows the wearer to instantly distinguish the alarm-set condition from the non-alarm-set condition.
