I no longer dive shallow or deep, don't do much international travel since I retired, don't own a racing yacht, don't need to use a stop watch and expect my watch to not take over my wrist, so am sticking to date and time.

This is a strange one for me. My favorite complication, and the one I find the most useful, is a chrono. So, normally, I’d choose the Daytona. But, im not a fan of the Daytona. So, I guess I’d choose the GMT.

I couldn’t part with my YM1 or I’d have no way to time the distance in between buoys - a daily challenge.

I'd be hard pressed to choose between my divers and GMTs.

GMT for me as I travel through different time zones and the ability to set the hour hand independently is very useful.

I'll be honest. Being retired, I don't use most of the functions anymore...I just enjoy their looks and I guess capabilities is a good way to put it.

Like this morning, I carefully set the GMT hand on my EXP2, but won't be using it.

The diver's timing bezel has always seemed the most useful to me, however.

I like the sky dweller. Gmt annual calander and you could use the 2nd timezone to time larger intervals.

Time only for clean dial and simplicity. Date and timing bezel for functionality. I like the cyclops, it’s cool seeing the hands magnified as they go beneath it.

GMT is function is very handy, date is key and being a tool watch is critical. BLNR fits the bill.

With traveling, I find the GMT is the most useful.

I'm a GMT guy.
A close second choice would be an SD4K.

GMT. I'm in a different timezone every week or two, so the quickset hour hand is great and for the few times a year I'm on the other side of the world the 24 hour hand makes it easy to see the time back home.
