ABSTRACT:
An electronic timepiece has a reception unit that can receive satellite signals transmitted from positioning information satellites and acquire time information and positioning information; a time zone data storage component that stores region data dividing geographical information for which time zone information is set into a plurality of regions, and time zone information for each region; a time zone information acquisition component that extracts a region containing positioning information acquired by the reception unit from the region data, and acquires the time zone information for that region; a time zone information display that displays the time zone information acquired by the time zone information acquisition component as a time zone candidate; an input device; a time zone information selection component that selects time zone information from the time zone candidates displayed on the display based on operation of the input device; a time calculation component that calculates the current time based on the time information acquired by the reception unit and the time zone information selected by the time zone information selection component; and a time display that displays the current time.
