Which is easier to read the GMT function on?

Sky Dweller or the GMT Master II?

Better than both , legibility wise, is the Explorer II 42mm.

Actually Sky D for me. Just look at the number pointed by the red triangle which is always at same position, at 12 o’clock. For GMT Master, you need to look for the GMT hand.

Opinion from owner of Sky D, GMT and Exp II

I think the hand on the GMT master is harder to “pickup” at a glance than the dual time complication on the SkyDweller since it is always in the same location on the dial

1) GMT BLRO - the red is the easiest
2) GMT LN - the green is easier to see then the light blue on the BLNR

I don't think my green GMT hand is easy to read at a glance. But I'm at that age where I need +1.0 reading glasses (in addition to my contacts) for a small-print cocktail menu at a fancy restaurant with dim lighting. Or "transition" bifocal glasses.

Out of curiosity, any specific scenario requiring very rapid dual time zone extrapolation? Asking because either option should become intrinsic with a little time, but any method will always take an extra moment to read.
