I've often wondered this. I've traveled a fair amount and never found it helpful to have a GMT watch. Whenever I am on travel, I always know the time difference between local and home. So if I need my home time while I'm on travel, I just do the mental math - elementary school level math. And if you stay in one place for a little while, you get pretty quick at it. Maybe I'm missing something, but I just can't see paying for an additional complication when its easy enough to do in my head. Yet it is a popular complication.
So that got me wondering, and I have two questions about buying a GMT.
1) Are many GMT watches purchased because buyers like the look of the GMT complication? (like those threads about chronographs)
2) Is the GMT function really helpful? If you travel to numerous timezones in a short period of time, I can understand how it could be helpful.
Thoughts?
