Abstract
Provided is technology improving antenna sensitivity. An electronic timepiece has: an antenna having a planar first electrode, a planar second electrode disposed to a position superimposed with the first electrode in plan view when seen from a first direction perpendicular to the first electrode, and a shorting member that shorts the first electrode and second electrode; and a planar conductor disposed in plan view to a position superimposed with the first electrode. The second electrode is disposed between the first electrode and the conductor in a side view from a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and a connector electrically connects the second electrode and conductor.
