Abstract
An electronic wristwatch operable in two power modes. The wristwatch has an inertial sensor for detecting a gesture on a cover glass of the wristwatch. A touch panel is provided underneath the cover glass for detecting the gesture. Gesture detection by the inertial sensor is combined with gesture detection by the touch panel for triggering a switch from a first power mode to a second power mode.
