Abstract

A wristwatch receives time-of-day information transmitted in the form of an infrared signal and then calculates the difference between the received time-of-day information and its time data. A decision is made as to whether the difference is not less than or less than a predetermined value. If the difference is less than the predetermined value, the accuracy of the received data and the accuracy set in the wristwatch are determined by referring to the types of time-measuring references. When the received data is higher accurate, the current time data stored by the first storage area is corrected by the received time data.
