ABSTRACT:
In an electronic wristwatch having a digital type of photo-electric display and powered by a battery, a battery life warning system is provided whereby the battery voltage is checked at periodic intervals and the photoelectric display is caused to flash on and off repetitively to indicate the approach of the end of the battery life. The timing of sampling pulses applied to a voltage detection circuit is controlled such that a temporary drop in battery voltage does not cause a display warning signal to be generated.
