Sky Dweller problem
Anyone wearing a sky dweller and found inconvenient when travelling difference time zone frequently?
I guess there is Pros and Cons. GMT is useful and quick adjusted to local time by turning just the bezel while need to unscrew on the sky dweller when we get into different time zone. Especially inconvenient to frequent traveller. Any thought? |

Only takes a few extra seconds to adjust compared to the GMT. No big deal.

Sky Dweller is a beautiful and fascinating watch, but not my thing. The GMT BLNR is wonderful for time zone crossers. I still travel often for my outdoor hobby and the GMT travels with me. I don’t move the bezel. I just move the hour hand to local time and the 24 hour hand is on home time. Maybe you should own both?

I move the bezel with GMT hand pointed bezel for local time and it takes 1 second to adjust without the need to take off the watch comparing to the need of removing the watch from the wrist, unscrew, screw, bla bla bla.
Still feel GMT is more practical when you have to cross different time zone frequently. |

SkyD is easy! Wow, not like the crap pusher pins other brands need for time setting.
Unscrew crown, turn bezel two clicks counter-clockwise, move crown to set new time zone,. move bezel two clicks clockwise and screw down crown. Easy peasy Louisey.
