Analog display device, electronic timepiece, display operation control method and storage medium
An analog display device, including: a display; a processor; and an operation member, wherein the display changes a display content by the movable display performing the movement operation, the processor causes the movable display to perform a fast-forward movement operation and display a plurality of display contents in order in accordance with a first input operation, the processor stops the fast-forward movement operation in accordance with a second input operation, and when the processor causes the movable display to perform the fast-forward movement operation, the processor determines a fast-forward movement speed of the movable display in at least a part of switching between display contents which are adjacent to each other in an order of display to a high movement speed which is larger than an average movement speed of the movable display during a round of display of the plurality of display contents.
ELECTRONIC TIMEPIECE WITH A MOTION SENSOR
An electronic timepiece with a first and second electric motors for driving time indicating hands with a set of gear wheels, and a microcontroller connected to the motion sensor and controlling each motor. A motion sensor includes a movable element arranged to move freely inside a structure connected to the timepiece movement. As a function of the position and movement of the moving element inside the housing, a first and second electric signals, different from each other, are generated by the motion sensor for the microcontroller in a defined time period to determine whether the timepiece is in use. If only one electric signal is detected by the microcontroller in the defined time period, the timepiece changes into a sleep mode, by stopping at least the first electric motor intended to drive the seconds hand.
