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. |

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.
