Re: WristWatch Selection

I've recently acquired a Tissot Navigator. It's replaced a Citizen Navihawk.

None of the Citizen world timers sold in Aus will display CST (central standard time) as all the time zones are UTC + whole hours and CST is +9 1/2 hours.

The Tissot does this. It has 150 cities pre loaded, and one can user create cities in an appropriate time zone. It has a touch screen used to access any of the multiple (count down timer, chrono, date, alarm x 2, world time, local time) functions available.

A brief press of the crown, then a tap on the appropriate part of the screen, and, voila.

One can select up to 4 time zones to be readily selectible on the world time section. For my operations I have BNE, ADL, PER & UTC. Each place can have daylight savings start & finish programmed to automatically display. Each world place can easily be swapped for the home zone, which then becomes one of the world zone places selected.

I have analogue hands set to home zone (where I am at the time) and UTC in the digital display. But there are several different choices.
