  • Patent number: 11372372
    Abstract: In a plan view in an axial direction of an indicating hand axle of a small second hand, three arrangement relationships described below are satisfied between a 10 o'clock side information display unit and an hour hand. According to a first arrangement relationship, respective numbers of a scale are disposed line-symmetrically with respect to a virtual straight line connecting a scale and the indicating hand axle to each other. According to a second arrangement relationship, the indicating hand axle is located at a position which does not overlap an indicating hand axle of the hour hand. According to a third arrangement relationship, a portion of a rotatable range of the hour hand overlaps a rotatable range of the small second hand, and does not overlap the scale.

  • Publication number: 20150061889
    Abstract: A mobile electronic device is worn and used on the wrist of a user who is exercising. History of a recent measured value is displayed on a display, along with a current measured value of exercise data of a display target. The measured value history is displayed as a bar graph showing a statistical value of the measured value during a predetermined unit period by a length of a bar. In the bar graph showing the measured value history, a part corresponding to a predetermined target range is distinctively displayed. The display range of the target range is fixed in a central part of the vertical axis of the bar graph. A scale on the vertical axis is determined according to the numerical value range of this target range.

  • Publication number: 20150063079
    Abstract: A running watch includes: a GPS signal reception portion which captures a satellite signal transmitted from a GPS satellite and processes the captured satellite signal; a chronograph process portion which measures a lapse of time; a display portion which displays a screen; an operation button which indicates an operation; and a control portion which displays a first screen showing a capturing circumstance of the satellite signal on the display portion when the GPS signal reception portion initiates the capturing of the satellite signal, and which continues the capturing of the satellite signal with respect to the GPS signal reception portion and displays a second screen showing that a measurement can be initiated by the chronograph process portion on the display portion when a predetermined operation is indicated from the operation button.
