Electronic timepiece and Control Method of an Electronic Timepiece

A control method of an electronic timepiece including a display configured to receive satellite signals containing time information from positioning information satellites;

• a power supply including a battery to supply drive power;
• a remaining battery capacity detector configured to detect the remaining battery capacity of the power supply;
• an interface member;
• a timekeeping reception controller configured to execute a timekeeping reception process in response to a timekeeping reception operation of the interface member;
• and
• a positioning reception controller configured to execute a positioning reception process in response to a positioning reception operation of the interface member;
• the control method comprising:
• the positioning reception controller executing the positioning reception process if the remaining battery capacity detected by the remaining battery capacity detector is greater than or equal to a first threshold, and
• not executing the positioning reception process if the remaining battery capacity is less than the first threshold;
• and
• the timekeeping reception controller executing the timekeeping reception process if the remaining battery capacity detected by the remaining battery capacity detector is greater than or equal to the first threshold and if the remaining battery capacity is less than the first threshold.
