Abstract

In an electronic device for providing time information and an operation method of the electronic device according to various embodiments, the electronic device includes: a display which displays first time information and second time information; an actuator which outputs vibrations respectively corresponding to the first time information and the second time information; and a processor, wherein the processor can be configured to: check the starting position of a user input in response to sensing the start of the user input on the display; determine, on the basis of the start position, a first region that corresponds to the first time information and a second region that corresponds to the second time information; and control the actuator so that a first vibration that indicates the first time information is output in response to the sensing of a user input in the first region, and a second vibration that indicates the second time information is output in response to the sensing of a user input in the second region.
