How do you use your GMT?

[kz1000]

I'm a bit curious how everyone that has a GMT watch uses it. My GMT IIc is my first GMT style watch and would like to hear some options. I don't travel much at all, but I do find it cool to track other timezones. I guess it's possible to track up to 3 time zones with a GMT watch.

Presently I keep the 12 hr hand on my home time and use the 24 hr. hand to monitor Greenwich mean time.

Those that don't keep them on winders and aren't traveling, do you actually set the 24 hr. hand

I really like the fact that the 12 hour hand moves independent of the other hands and it doesn't stop the second hand. It's a very cool watch, I guess I need to travel more to utilize the features

I used it A LOT during travel. It is so much easier to just move the hour hand instead of hacking the second hand and approximate the time. That was killing me softly.

Jeff, right now I'm keeping the 12 hour hand on local and the 24 hr. hand on Hawaii.

I've always set the 24 hour hand to my home time zone & set the 12 hour hand to my current time zone (when traveling). Every now and then I rotate the bezel to set it to a 3rd time zone....to keep track of the time of friends in other countries and stuff like that.

Thanks for the responses Mike, this is from one of your previous threads that gives a good explanation of the features

I go with Zulu (GMT) with the red hand.
