Guys, I don't know why I'm not getting it but despite having gone several times through the manual I'm unable to grasp the concept. So there's UTC, TIME and TIME2. I need the main time to be GMT (I'm in the UK) and Time2 to be GMT+5. Also, the analog hands to show Time and the LCD display to show the current date + Time2. What's the point of setting UTC if you are setting your main time zone as Time and second time zone as Time2? Isn't UTC and Time setting redundant? Update: Perhaps I should've been clearer. I am able to set the time for both time zones but I'm unable to display them as I want, mentioned above. Somehow or the other I end up showing the main time zone Time on both analog and digital displays. But I still don't get the purpose of UTC along with Time (main time zone). Wouldn't they both be the same? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Think.... most of the world does not live in the UTC time zone so there needs to be a separate UTC time setting for the rest of us. In summer time, you won't be in UTC time zone either! |

In the B50/55 UTC is the baseline time and must be set first. I own a B50 Night Mission Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Start with setting UTC first, I actually went to a website and found a clock tied to UTC with seconds, you set the watch and synchronize (in settings) the hands based on that. Then when you set your local and secondary time, they will all tie together. The watch does not bend time, so everything but hours should be the same. You can display secondary time in the LCD display or swap times so the hands revert to the secondary time. Play with it for a while and it will make sense. Took me about 10 minutes of fiddling to figure it out. You can also change the display format of the date if you want. |

The watch also allows for 15-30 minutes time offsets which is handy to track odd time zones like India. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
