In some embodiments, an advisory time keeping device may include a housing having a controller, a control input, a display output, and a tilt sensor. The controller may include a timer module and a memory. The control input may be operable to enter time data and advisory data into the memory. A display output may be coupled to the housing which may be operable for displaying data from the timer circuit and memory. The tilt sensor may be in communication with the controller, and the tilt sensor may be operable to detect changes in the orientation of the housing. The controller may be operable to cause the display output to display advisory data in response to changes in the orientation of the housing which may be detected by the tilt sensor.

An electronic timepiece includes a turnable hand and a processor that controls a turn of the hand. When the processor performs a rapid shift of the hand to a set target position, the processor performs a control of a damping of reciprocation of the hand in which the hand performs a predetermined reciprocation about the target position as a reference position and gradually decreases an amplitude of the reciprocation thereof during the rapid shift.

An electronic timepiece for identifying time by colored light. The electronic timepiece is configured to identify time utilizing colored light corresponding to predetermined digits, rather than identifying time in digital or analog fashion. The electronic timepiece includes a lighting assembly having light sources that correspond to the hour of day, the minute of day, and the seconds of day. Each light source is coupled to a microcontroller that generates the time of day. The light sources are configured to emit a certain color of light based on the time of day communicated by the microcontroller. The emitted color represents a specific digit, such that a user can determine the time of day based on the combination of colors displayed by the lighting assembly.

A wearable electronic device having an analog display and a digital display. The device may include a receiver for receiving, from a remote source, current time information data representative of a current time; a controller, operatively coupled to the receiver, wherein the controller processes the current time information data received from the remote source and provides for the current time information data to be displayed by the at least one digital indicator on the digital display as the current time; and a an analog time indicator rotating arrangement for causing the rotation of the at least one analog time indicator until the at least one analog time indicator is aligned with the at least one digital indicator; whereby the alignment of the at least one analog time indicator with the at least one digital indicator indicates that the at least one analog time indicator is synchronized with the correct time information.

A display device and a smart watch are disclosed. In one aspect, the display device includes a front display panel configured to display a front image in a front direction and having an edge at the perimeter that is curved. The display device also includes a side display panel that is curved and configured to display a side image in a side direction conforming to the edge of the front display panel. The display device further includes a driver circuit board connected to the front and side display panels and configured to respectively apply first and second signals, corresponding to image data, to the front and side display panels.
