World Time
The current time in all World Time Mode cities is calculated in accordance with the
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) differential for each city, based on the current Home
City time setting in the Timekeeping Mode.
The seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the
Timekeeping Mode.
The GMT differential is the time difference of the time zone where the city is located
from Greenwich Mean Time.
GMT differential is calculated by this watch based on Universal Time Coordinated
(UTC) data.
