ABSTRACT:
In an electronic timepiece with a depth gauge, having a power supply battery, a timepiece circuit, a display unit, a water pressure sensor, a depth gauge circuit for receiving a sensor signal from the water pressure sensor and generating a water depth information signal, a mode control circuit for switching a timepiece mode and a depth gauge mode, and a display switching circuit for selectively displaying the time information signal from the timepiece circuit or the water depth information signal from the depth gauge circuit in response to a control signal from the mode control circuit, there are provided a battery voltage detector for detecting a voltage drop of the battery, and a waste time detector for detecting a nondive state represented by the depth gauge detector. The mode control circuit is forcibly set in the timepiece mode in response to a detection signal from the battery voltage detector or the waste time detector.
