In these watches, since the electric charge accumulated in the electric charge accumulating member is the operation source, it is important to know the accumulated amount. As one of the methods, there is a means for detecting the voltage generated by the charge storage member, but a large-scale voltage detection means having many reference voltages is required in order to know the amount of charge in detail. Further, if an indicator is provided exclusively for displaying the accumulated amount, the circuit load and cost will increase. Therefore, in order to eliminate this inconvenience, the object of the present invention is to provide the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application No. 59-246778 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-124887).
It is to make it possible to know the charge storage state more finely according to the display state by using the booster circuit as disclosed in No. 1).

A power generation mechanism and a first for storing electric charges generated by the power generation mechanism
Of the charge accumulating member and the first charge accumulating member, and a voltage boosting means having a plurality of boosting ratios, and electric charges are charged by the voltage boosted by the voltage boosting means. And a voltage detecting means for detecting a voltage value boosted by the boosting means and outputting a control signal for changing the boosting ratio of the boosting means according to the voltage value. Since the display control means is configured to change the movement of the hands when the signal indicating the boosting ratio is input, the display control means is provided with the boosting means for driving the timepiece function from a stage where the charge amount is small, and is originally provided. A signal for designating the step-up ratio, which is a signal for controlling the step-up means, is used as it is, and a new circuit is added only for displaying the charge amount (charge accumulation amount) by changing the pointer display. It is possible to provide an electronic timepiece which can inform the user of the amount of charge without doing so and which has a boosting means for obtaining the power supply voltage of the timepiece means at a lower cost and in which the amount of charge can be easily confirmed. Furthermore, since the time required for boosting 2 times or 3 times is much shorter than that for boosting 1 time or 1.5 times, it is an effective means to indicate the battery life in the electronic timepiece for indicating hands by indicating the state for 2 seconds. In addition, it is a 1-second hand movement at the time of 1-time boosting, a 1-second 2-second hand movement at the time of 1.5-time boosting, a 2-second hand movement at the time of 2-second pressure raising,
By adjusting the number of seconds for hand movement and the number of seconds for hand movement at the time of raising the pressure by 3 times, it becomes possible to accurately know the timepiece state at that time.
