I use the jump hour hand weekly due to the fact that I travel outside my home Time Zone on at least a weekly basis. Typically this is with my Exp II

Every day practically. I go through timezone shifts East and west of London by anything up to 9 hours frequently. Off to GOA in India tomorrow....that’s 5.5 hours which makes life tricky for the GMT. Best thing is to just wear it upside down. That works.
When I’m at home I use it to see what time is for my brother who lives in Mexico, so my GMT is doing is job for it’s designed purpose most days of the week. Feel lost without it now. |

I use it. Has become my go to watch, but I could also live without the function.

Use it all the time. Much of the family is in another country. Also, when I am following sporting events or shows that are releasing in the other country, it helps to know when its on.

I keep mine set to home time. Rarely have the need to track other time zones.

I would only use mine on holidays in different time zones.
My last holiday was 6 months before my daughter was born which was a year and a half ago. I also didn’t own a gmt then...... doh, I guess I’ve never used mine Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I used my GMT quite often at first, even when at home it was useful to know the time in other countries for calls and email timing, but as time passed I used it less and eventually I sold it.

Nope. When I travel, it is for pleasure. No need to keep track of time anywhere else.

I have family over seas so I use it frequently. It’s a great feature!

It’s a niche complication imo. Unless you’re on a plane every week which most of us aren’t does it really matter that you know what time it is in Bahrain?! Date complication for the win. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I bet if you were to ask what percentage of Submariner owners use the timer function on the bezel, you'd get a very different result 95-100% I'd bet..
