Disclosed are a method for recognizing a rotation of a rotating body and an electronic device for processing the same. The electronic device may include a housing; a rotatable input configured to be mounted on a part of the housing; a display configured to be exposed out of a part of the housing; a memory; and a processor electrically connected to the memory, the input, and the display, wherein the memory may store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to display, on the display, at least one part of a user interface including a first point capable of scrolling an object and/or a number in proportion to a rotation of the input; to at least partially respond to a first input from the input or the display and to display, on the display, a second point spaced by a predetermined distance or angle from the first point; and to move the object to the second point or to display, on the display, a corresponding number at the second point, in response to the rotation of the input in a state of displaying the second point.
