A user can easily identify the content of data (the value or the state of
the data), such as a credit balance, stored in a contactless IC module
provided in a wrist-watch device having a communication function. A
timepiece control unit 14 of a timepiece module 10 transmits a
confirmation command for the data, such as the credit balance, to a
contactless IC module 60 every determination cycle period TSP, and
receives the data stored in the contactless IC module 60. When the value
of the stored data (for example, the amount of balance) becomes smaller
than a predetermined value, the timepiece control unit 14 causes a second
hand to perform an irregular movement noticeably different from the
regular timing movement. Accordingly, the user is able to easily identify
the data content (for example, insufficient balance).
