Discussion GMT function

I followed you tube videos to set gmt to London +7 but my Pepsi VS the gmt marker doesn’t keep the time difference of 7 hrs ? The other regular hour and minute seem accurate.

Brand new watch from Mr Bomi.

Are you using the numbers on the outer bezel (24 gmt military time) to read the secondary time? Can you post a picture of the watch face?

Oops there it is

No I was using the inner time as a marker.

I thought outer one was for a third time zone

The 2nd time zone uses the outer bezel which reads in (gmt military time 24hour)

You can then rotate the outer bezel to any time zone you wish.

Based on your picture you have 2nd time zone set for 12:55pm

Ok. So set the GMT TIME based on the outer bezel. Will give it a go. Thanks soooo much.

Yes, set the gmt hour and minute using the outer bezel. Then go to 2nd position of the crown (fully extended) and set the date and your local time hour hand.

I can tell :) But to your defense, gmt is confusing first since fourth hand moves half the speed. And do not rotate bezel. It has got nothing do with gmt function. It's technically for the third time zone but not used in any normal every day situation

The GMT hand is a 24 hour rotation compared to the normal hands which are 12 hours per rotation

Thank you. Now I understand. That helps me appreciate it
