1) Date: Deal breaker for me, I cannot ever buy a watch without a date anymore, it is too important to me.
2) Pointer date looks good IMO, adds some flavour to the dial.
3) Power reserve indicator: Nice to have, wished more affordable watches had it, feels like there is more of a connection between me and my watch by having a power reserve indicator.
I just love the pointer date and power reserve indicator. GMT is useful but IMHO, it is hard to read the time quickly, easier to just add or subtract hours for an accurate time.
