GMT4 is the most flexible watch face available for Garmin wearable devices. With up to 4 different time zones and over 40 user settings GMT4 is hundreds of watches in one. Build your own customised unique watch face as you control the style, colours, layout and much more.
With the latest web enabled version you can now define up to 8 different watch faces and automatically switch between them based on your own schedule. Now you can have a different watch face every day of the week or have one look for work and another for after work!
Time zones can be shown in 12 or 24 hour formats or a 'second' hour hand can be displayed. This feature can also be enabled to be displayed only when outside your 'home' time zone. Then when you travel you will always be able to tell the time at home, great for the frequent flyers!
The alternative time zones can also have Daylight Savings Rules applied depending on which country and city you might using.
