The great thing about the Seiko 5 GMT is the additional 24hour marks on the dial. Using those and the bezel you can set 3 time zones at the same time (local time with your minute and hour hand, dial 24h marks for the second zone and the rotated bezel time for the third time zone) This is a nice, affordable watch.

Very interesting video, living 4 hours away from home country and family it's very good to know the exact time over there for video chats. Depending on when you're setting the time you don't necessarily need to set to the day before and go all the way round again. If it's during the day just set to the days date after moving it to 4, 5 or 6am if you want to be super safe and then just move the hands forward to whatever time it is. Only if the actual time on the watch is in the danger zone do you need to put it to the day before. I always set the time in the morning when I get up, so setting the actual date and then moving the hands forward to the correct time is easier.

I also use my GMT when cooking etc as a timer. Set the triangle at 12:00 on the bezel on the current minute mark (just like a diver watch). The diver graduations are not on the bezel, but it's not hard to figure out that if you put your food in the oven at 17:45, and it's now 18:10, that it has been in there for 25 mins. And it can be used as a compass. A true tool watch.

Based on other comments it you can't do that for the GMT hand directly, maybe turn the bezel by half an hour so that you can reference that?

i’ve set my UK time, then I’ve set the time in Cuba like you’ve done it, it’s currently 8am there so i’ve set it to hand number 4, then used the bezel for Singapore (8pm right now) but the GMT hand shows it’s 4pm there. Not sure what I’m doing wrong

@ShielsAuJewellers Жыл бұрын

The GMT hand uses the 24-hour display seen on the bezel, not the 12 hour indices on the watch dial. 6 is 6am 18 would be 6PM and so on.

@@ShielsAuJewellers this is the part I never understood before seeing your video - I was setting the GMT hand to the normal 1-12 marker, not the 24 hour indices. Doh! Thank you for clarifying.

@trustinsaam5415 11 ай бұрын

So if we can use both office and travel GMt for 3 different zones then the only advantage of travel ( much more expensive than office) would be a convenience as the hour hand moves faster and it’s easier to set times. Am I right?

I think so. But if money is still an issue, then the Casio World Time will make it, with average price of $50 and capable to track 4 time zones... Yea I know it's quartz and digital, but still!

Curious to see how this would work for a timezone that is 1/2 hour different... can you set the GMT hand for the 1/2 hour timezone and then set the main hands for a full hour zone? Or will the GMT hand revert to the full hour indication?

Hello Sir! When I adjust the GMT hour hand, the hand does not move smoothly while adjusting. It is jumpy and jerky. What could be the issue? While adjusting the real time, everything is fine. The watch is brand new. Thank you

Thank you but how to calculate the minutes as there is difference between minutes. Suppose my local time is 9:42 AM and I want to set the time on 24 hour hand for USA CST time which is 11:09 PM (back date) how I am gonna calculate the minutes?

No, that’s not same for me. I live in India. For an example the current local time is 7:22 PM and if I want to use GMT hour hand to calculate the time in Chicago it’s 8:52 AM in the morning so there is minutes difference.

Basically if you are going to wear your watch from the dead between 9pm to 3am just start the watch and wear it with adjusting the time only, don't configure the date. Most watch manuals state this but I think most people bypass reading thoroughly.

Mechanical GMT’s don’t work properly in that ‘odd’ time zone of yours (pun intended), you definitely need a new residence on the left (or right), side of that big island down there , but I guess a digital GMT could be more convenient….

GMT is your 00:00 time zone. Everything else is + or - GMT. Imagine you’re traveling from one time zone to another, and you don’t have reference, if you know that where you’re traveling to is + or - x amount from GMT you can quickly adjust your timepiece accordingly.

Bro, why does everyone make this so confusing? You just put the fucking GMT hand on the section where the bezel says 6. First of all, why not just move it to the 6 o clock marker on the watch? Second of all, YOU THEN ROTATE THE BEZEL, LOSING THE TIME OF THE SECOND TIME ZONE. Is this some sort of prank? No one is able to explain this clearly.
