I know this has to be a stupid question, but how do you precisely set the minutes on this watch given there are no minute markers? Considering buying one. Also is there a quickset hour feature for changing timezones?

Same issue for my 690, you have to sort of approximate the exact poistion

Yes, there is a quickset hour hand. When you pass through a different time zone you can just adjust the hour hand to the local time (the date also moves with the hour hand). If you leave the GMT hand on your local home time then when you travel the GMT hand will show the time back home. That way too when you are in your local time zone and the hour hand is set to local time it will cover the GMT hand and keep the dial looking a little cleaner.

Yeah but then you start to do something else to kill the next couple minutes, you space out, and it's OOPS! I missed it by a few seconds! Now you have to wait another 5 minutes

Easiest way to do that is to set it on one of the five minute markers
