Abstract: An electronic timepiece having function circuitry for performing at least two different functions, each responsive to a manually applied function signal and further circuity for automatically selecting the predetermined function circuit responsive to the function signal is provided. The electronic timepiece includes a timekeeping circuit adapted to produce low frequency timekeeping signals. A first switching circuit is adapted to be selectively actuated to selectively produce the function signal and a second switching circuit is disposed intermediate the first switching circuit and each of the function circuits. The second switching circuit is adapted for manual actuation to selectively apply the selectively produced function signals to one of the function circuits and further includes circuitry for receiving one of the low frequency timekeeping signals produced by the timekeeping circuitry and in response thereto automatically selected a predetermined function circuit for selective application of a function signal within a predetermined period after the second switching circuit effects in response to the manual actuation thereof, a selection of one of the function circuits for receiving the function signal.
