Disclosed is an electronic device comprising at least one sensor, a communication circuit, a display, and at least one processor operationally connected to the display, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: display, on the display, a watch screen including a fixed element displayed at a designated location on the display, a repetitive element displayed on the basis of at least a designated rule, and a changing element associated with information obtained through the at least one sensor or received through the communication circuit; generate first data on the basis of at least one of the designated rule or the shape of the repetitive element; generate second data based on at least one of the fixed element or the changing element, in response to the changing element changing from a first value to a second value; and generate first deterioration information on the basis of the first data, the second data, and the duration over which the changing element maintains the first value. Various other embodiments understood through the specification are also possible.

A method for displaying time information in an electronic device in a low power state is provided. The method includes transferring a power-off command and a reboot command to the electronic device if a power level of a battery is equal to or less than a first level, setting a power-off flag in a boot loader, entering into a power-off state, and displaying, on a display, current time related information for a predetermined time under the control of the boot loader if a specific event occurs in the power-off state.

A system, supplied by a power supply, is switched into standby mode by an electronic device that includes a charging input coupled to a charge voltage obtained from the voltage delivered by the power supply. A first input is coupled to the power supply and a power supply output is coupled to the system. A storage capacitive element is coupled to the charging input and configured to be charged by the charge voltage. A switching circuit, coupled between the first input and the power supply output, disconnects the power supply output from the first input when the voltage across the terminals of the storage capacitive element is higher than a threshold. A discharge circuit discharges the storage capacitive element so that the capacitor voltage becomes lower than the threshold. The switching circuit further re-connects the first input to the power supply output at the end of the discharge period.
