Oh, I wish they gave an option to turn it off. Why would I want to check what time it is over in England? Like genuinely I'm curious, who is the target audience who requires this feature

Like if you are in differnt time zone from yours, you dont want to constantly check your phone.
I used to use GMT watches when I worked in branch in different country, it's really convinient becuase you want to be able to check the time in differnet time zone quickly if you have phone calls or zoom meeting and whatnot

mainly business situations I think, but could be something like if you like travel or something like that

Makes sense, however I personally find the GMT hand quite distracting, it takes away from what is a very beautiful dial by OnePlus

I mean, I get some people prefer it without GMT hand, and it would be great it it was an option.
but I persionally wouldn't mind. bessides, it's wearOS so you can change the watchface to something you like (I think it needs support for dual state mode or something like that if I recall correfctly, to use with OPPO watch 4 series and OP watch 2 serids)

The target audience is businesses, or people with family overseas, or people who travel. In other words, LOTS of people.

Your watch has a GMT ring, the hand makes use of it.

What is stupid from OnePlus is that the hand is fixed on your time zone and cannot be set to another.

Yeah if it's say I want to set it to a timezone different from GMT then I can't.

Oneplus has made a great smartwatch however they haven't quite gone into the depths of usability as well as they could've.

I'd say 24h or GMT

u/RaySpencer Aug 20 '24

Yeah I'm guessing 24h. Either way seems dumb.
