Yes I’m doing this to show off my new watch but I selected the time for Reykjavik because at any time, I’d rather be there. Any special reason for the time you’ve selected on yours?

GMT hand set to my local time, and the hour hand also set to my local time.
When I travel, I adjust the local time hand so the GMT hand would stay as home time.

When I'm home, I keep the GMT hand set to GMT/UMT time and the hour hand on local time - Since I know where my sister and my parents are in respect to GMT, its the perfect time to keep since I can just do some quick addition/subtraction to figure out what the time is in their respective cities.
Like you though, if/when traveling, the GMT switches to MY local time and the hour hand adjusts with the time-zone changes.

I live, work, and have family in three different time zones. Glycine Airman SST does a great job for that, and the Muhle works especially well for traveling where i might go for a swim.

My watch is sentient, so when I set it to anything other than GMT, it goes Dave? What are you doing, Dave?
I set the GMT hand currently to -4, where my son is away at uni. (At least, when the rest of the watch isn't paying attention.) Since both of us live in zones with DST, I don't care whether it's a 12h or 24h quickset arrangement. I can somehow manage a minute's playing with the watch in return for the next seven months of correct time display.

I set the GMT hand to UTC. UTC is a pretty useful time reference. Especially if you’re dealing with people in multiple time zones.
Set meeting times in UTC and there ceases to be confusion about whether someone is on standard time or daylight or what time zone someone is in.

UTC, just because it feels adequate. I evaluate cargo ship data at the job, which come with a UTC timestamp. Even though that doesn't mean I need to know the current UTC time very often, it still feel fitting in a way. 
When not travelling, I usually set the GMT hand to Tokyo time on my GMT watches as our company head office is based there. Occasionally I might set it to another time zone if I'm due to call someone in that time zone.
When travelling, I set the GMT hand to UK time as that's where I live.
Keeps things fairly simple.

Tokyo, because it gives me a rough guide of time of day in east and south east Asia....don't want call people in middle of the night and ask about their extended warranty.
GMT... It's called a GMT for a reason. Bonus points if you use GMT at work as that's what the world runs on. Besides Coffee.
When I get to a destination overnight, bezel gets rotated to home time, and hour hand is jumped to destination time.
Everyone else can pretend.

Taipei time since I have friends in various parts of Asia. I don’t actually travel with this watch, though, because I usually am doing some sort of outdoor activity so I take a watch with better WR.

I keep my Zulu Time set to, well Zulu Time. When I travel I adjust the 12-hour hand to local time (of course), and adjust the 24-hour bezel to show my home time.
When I'm home in NY, I set the bezel for Central Time (even though it's only an hour behind me), because my kid is in school in Chicago.

I always keep the GMT hand on my GMT watch set to GMT. I set the bezel to CET/CEDT (Paris/Frankfurt) as that's where most of my team is located. Leaving the hand set to GMT makes it easier for me to track when I travel.
There have been times where I had it set to CET/CEDT and then set the bezel to Tokyo - but that was mainly when I was watching live Japanese TV - or to Melbourne, when I was watching Footy.
For my world timer(s) - On my citizen, I keep the second timezone set to CET/CEDT for work, and the main hands to local unless I'm traveling - then I'll set the second zone to home time, and the main hands to local.
On my Orient "true" world timer, I set the 12 o'clock position to local time and then adjust the chapter ring accordingly, with the hands always showing local time.
My 12 hour bezel watches, I keep set to local and CET/CEDT.

I have the GMT set to home time. When I travel, I jump the main hour hand to destination/local.
