Electronic timepiece

An electronic timepiece, comprising:

• a dial;
• a display region having a range of less than 360 degrees which is provided on the dial;
• a reciprocating hand which is provided to be rotatable only within the range of the display region;
• an acquisition section which acquires predetermined information;
• and a processor which controls an operation of the reciprocating hand, wherein:
• a first scale value to a second scale value which is larger than the first scale value are shown on a perimeter of the display region, the processor acquires the predetermined information, acquired by the acquisition section,
• if the predetermined information is smaller than a value corresponding to the first scale value, the processor controls the reciprocating hand to perform a first notification operation of reciprocating in a region from a position of the display region where the first scale value is shown to a position of the display region where a scale value which is equal to an intermediate value between the first scale value and the second scale value is shown, and then back to the position of the display region where the first scale value is shown, where the reciprocating hand stops, and
• if the predetermined information is larger than a value corresponding to the second scale value, the processor controls the reciprocating hand to perform a second notification operation of reciprocating in a region from a position of the display region where the second scale value is shown to a position of the display region where a scale value which is equal to an intermediate value between the second scale value and the first scale value is shown and then back to the position of the display region where the second scale value is shown, where the reciprocating hand stops.
