What functions/Complications do you want in a watch?

OK
Forget digital all together as that just takes the fun out of it.

What complications do you find most useful, which do you desire most
from a watch you wear on a regular basis?

Myself my favorite complications for real use are the Date and a Chrono. A GMT hand is a big bonus as well.

I need the date non stop (yes it doesn't matter how many times a day I write the date I still check my watch to ensure the date before I write it every time).

I never really was a chrono guy but in the past year or so I have really learned to appreciate a chrono, I never realized how much I really do time stuff before. I have a couple 30 minute chronos and overall find them a tease, I just need the ability to easily time more than 30 minutes.

GMT hand, a great function for when traveling! One of my favorite watches to travel with is my IWC Ti Aquatimer Chrono, I love the chrono, the inner rotating dive bezel and the day/date on the dial if it had a GMT hand I think it would be the perfect watch! As I do not travel a ton the GMT complication is towards the bottom of my wants for real world use but still is important.

Moon phase, power reserve, leap year indicator etc are all nice complications but those three are the ones I most appreciate while the rest fall more into the novelty group for my wants and needs.

If I traveled more I think I would also add an alarm to the list of complications but I do not know if Id ever find something I liked (mechanical) with date, chrono, gmt hand and alarm! Even if there is a watch with all of that I doubt price would be something in my range and I also doubt it would be a tough enough watch for my wants in a travel watch.

Thanks for listening to my senseless ramble, I look forward to hearing what complications you appreciate and why.
