This watch has an electrical generator which operates intermittently, an electrical generation detection means which detects electrical generation by the electrical generator based on a prescribed relationship to the operation of a drive judging means, and a control means which, when the driving judging means detects electrical generation by the electrical generator, supplies a compensation drive pulse to a drive circuit, regardless of the judgment results of the driving judging means.
