An electronic timepiece efficiently receives satellite signals, reduces power consumption, and displays the correct time. A GPS wristwatch 1 has a satellite signal reception unit 10A that receives satellite signals and acquires time information contained in the satellite signals; a time information adjustment unit 25 that keeps times and adjusts the kept time based on the time information acquired by the automatic receiving unit 24; a reception result memory unit 313 that stores the reception result of the reception process performed by the automatic receiving unit 24; and a reception time setting unit 21 that sets the reception start time at which the reception process starts based on the reception result stored in the reception result memory unit 313. The automatic receiving unit 24 executes the reception process when the kept time reaches the reception start time set by the reception time setting unit 21.
