For chrono watches, I buy them for the looks. Occasionally use the timer, not often.
For GMT watches, I set time in Asia where I have family and friends there and so I call them at reasonable time of the day

I have all of the watches in the sports line except the YM (which my wife has). I use all of the features on the Daytona, Sub, SD, Ex II and GMT-II for their intended purpose. My wife uses the YM for diving.

GMT...

Rarely use the function, bought it because it's the one that "sings" to me.

When a chrono function and a 12 hour 2nd time zone is needed this Tudor delivers.

I use the chronograph function on my Daytona ALL the time. Literally. Not for the chronograph though, but because I like having the second hand "ticking" all the time! It's not been off (other than to test the buttons) since I bought it.

I use my GMT's bezel, but I also am obsessive enough to put it back at the 12/24 position when I'm done using it. And I'd especially line it up if I were dressing it up for photos.
