An electronic device and a time correction system acquire time zone-related information through a network and correct the current time at the current location, and reduce power consumption. An electronic timepiece has a time display unit; a communicator that connects to abase station; and a controller. The controller executes a base station information acquisition process of acquiring from the base station base station information unique to the base station, an acquired information evaluation process determining whether or not to acquire time zone-related information based on the base station information, a time zone information acquisition process of acquiring time zone-related information based on the base station information when acquiring time zone-related information is determined in the acquired information evaluation process, and a time correction process of correcting the displayed time based on the acquired time zone-related information.
