However, if I know I'll be wearing the watch for a few days in a row, I will set it to GMT time. I don't really know why. I guess it goes back to my old flying days. I don't do as much traveling as I used to.

But, I sure love my GMTs.

I don't know why either...

I set mine to local time, unless I travel. I really don't care what GMT time is.

Use what you need. If you were travelling to another country frequently Im sure you would have a need to use it.

The Libertine · 18 January 2020, 10:21 AM

Never done it either.

Set mine to central standard time, in case I have too contact my business partner in Iowa,not that he evers hears the phone in his John Deere...

At least you have a reason to have one.:) I don't travel overseas or to the west coast so I really don't need one. My Air King and DJ41 is all I need. ;)

i used bezel on all my watches for second time zone when i need ,the gmt looks cooler

Let me tell you this. I am in aviation, I travel all over the world on a regular basis. 5-6 international flights every month.

I have almost never used the GMT function on my E2 when I had it. I always kept my watch in my homeland time and the second time in UTC (Zulu). So, I never actually had the local time zone and my home time zone on my watch.

Setting the watch all the time is a hassle I did not wanna go through for every trip I take.

What I find useful is to know what day of the week is. I easily loose track when I'm on the road.....

I’ll admit I don’t use most of the complications on my watches. The ones I REALLY like are travel time (5164) — LOTS of use and PCs. Like the look of chronos- but rarely turn them on

May be a dumb question but I found this odd with my BLRO.. do you have to rotate the crown in the opposite direction to move the time forward?

The new 32xx movements are opposite from the 31xx movements.

Good info. I never really paid attention and just did what worked. Now I will.

Use it when traveling but even when I'm not, I set the GMT hand to Los Angeles timezone where my brother lives. I love the GMT complication, the most useful complication in my opinion.

OrangeKenny · 22 January 2020, 08:47 AM

My 24hr hand is almost always set to local time. I find myself checking north regularly as I go about my day. It’s a fun accuracy check on my internal compass.
