Two main types of GMT watches include a “caller GMT” with an independently adjustable 24-hour GMT hand and a “flyer GMT” with an independently adjustable 12-hour hand. The former is particularly practical for folks in constant communication with contacts in faraway lands while the latter is perfect for always-on-the- go jetsetters. On the other hand, as their name suggests, world time watches allow the wearer to see the time across 24 zones, all at once. While there are plenty of different world time watch styles, ranging from simplified to mind-bendingly complex, these timepieces predominately use city names to represent the time zones. Among all the watch complications available, word time watches have long been a favorite among globetrotters.
