Electronic apparatus, power feeding control method, and non-transitory recording medium
An electronic timepiece includes a secondary battery, a first power feeder, a second power feeder, and a processor. The first power feeder feeds power to the secondary battery. The second power feeder feeds power to the secondary battery at a current larger than a current fed by the first power feeder. The processor determines remaining power of the secondary battery based on different references that are a reference of when the first power feeder is feeding the power to the secondary battery and a reference of when the second power feeder is feeding the power to the secondary battery.

Wearable electronic device with a caseback having multiple, arc-shaped, ferrous, metal contacts
A caseback has multiple, arc-shaped, ferrous, metal contacts that serve a dual purpose. The metal contacts i) establish an input connection between a battery for the wearable electronic device and charging prongs of a charger and ii) establish a magnetic coupling between the wearable electronic device and multiple magnets in the charger to hold the metal contacts of the wearable electronic device and the charging prongs of the charger in place during a charging of the battery. A male extension extends from a surface of the caseback to couple into a female receptor of the charger. i) The ferrous metal contacts' relationship with a positioning of the magnetics in the charger in combination with ii) the male extension coupling into the female receptor use magnetic and mechanical coupling to establish and control an alignment of the metal contacts with the charging prongs in three dimensions, a Z-axis, an X-axis, and a Y-axis.
