GMT question

It depends whether it's a caller or traveller's GMT.

I personally have a caller GMT (Pagani Design Black Bay GMT lookalike)

That works if you have a traveller GMT., right?

Uh... I just use mine as a fidget spinner. iPhone is what I use to tell the time elsewhere in the world!

I have my Jack mason GMT on order; I plan on having the gmt hand set to home time and use it essentially as a 24-hour indicator. When I travel, I’ll simply bump the hour hand to the time zone I’m traveling to.

Since I don't wear mine all the time, they have run down when I take one out of the case, I just set the regular time and ignore the GMT hand so it ends up tracking some random unknown timezone because I finally realized the GMT hand was irrelevant when I'm not traveling.

When traveling, I set the GMT hand to home time but the rotating bezel messes me up. I forgot that I used it as a fidget spinner before setting off on a trip recently and set the GMT hand using the numbers of the now rotated bezel. When I was demonstrating the GMT functionality to my wife, she pointed out that according to her phone, my watch would cause us to call the kids in the middle of the night instead of before bed. Oops/ made me finally appreciate GMTs with fixed non-rotating bezel markers.

When at home I set the main hands to Local UK time, and set the GMT hand to Zulu time.

When abroad I set main to Local time, then set the GMT hand to UK time 🇬🇧 .

Isn't ZULU the same as GMT?

Sorry, yeh you're correct 👍. It only differs by an hour due to daylight saving.

It's just an old habit I can't get out of from the military.

I set it to CET (Central European Time) because most of my calls and meetings are with people from France or Germany.

I set the second time zone to my friends City in the states ... Helps me to call / connect at convenient time .... Practical use for me ☺

Lately I’ve had the GMT hand set to the time in Kyiv, Ukraine. I feel for the people there going through so much. I use the GMT hand to remind me of things happening around the world that might otherwise be afterthoughts when I get caught up in my own busy schedule.

If traveling then the hour hand is the local time, GMT hand is my hometown time.

When at home I'll set the GMT hand to east coast US time to track NYSE. I leave the bezel alone and the the other hands to home time as you'd think. When I travel ill change the GMT hand to home time and adjust the hour hand to the local time

Ordinarily the GMT is set to second time (LA - pal lives there) but when travelling I set GMT time to UK and main hands to local.

I’ve been debating the same thing on my incoming Jackmaster GMT.

GMT hand to home time and local hand to the “alternate or local time” seems reasonable to me to avoid not constantly changing the hands when traveling.

AM/PM indicator so I know when to wind the watch. If I ever travel out of the time zone which is never, then set the gmt to home time.

Most of the time I set my GMT hand (traveler) to the time zone of my boyhood home and where most of my family still live, and set my hour hand to local. They say I can use my bezel for a third time zone but I lose the reference of my second zone when I do that.

If like the Seiko 5 GMT that was just released which has another 24 hour dial on the rehaut, you could really get 3 time zones.

Depends if the bezel is rotating or not.

Watches with rotating bezel - I set GMT hand to GMT time. I rotate the bezel to the US West Coast time (company's office I am tied to is there).

Fixed bezel - I immediately go for US West Coast with GMT hand.
