Once You get used to setting the countdown on the diving bezel You don´t want anything else:)
....meeting You in 20 minutes, rice is ready in 11 minutes, have 45 minutes to finish this task
or stopwatch:
....was 22 minutes on the phone, took 28 minutes to drive to the office, waited 38 minutes to get served in the restaurant

and the GMT may be used as a rough compass when out in the wild:


watch as a solar compass:

  • Both the 12 and the 24 hour hand must be synchronized to display local time

  • Method 1: laid horizontally, the dial will head North if the 24 hour hand is pointed towards the sun

  • Method 2: if the 12 hour hand is pointed at the sun, the 24 hour hand will point North
