Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this Oakley GMT watch lately, and let me tell you, it’s been quite the ride. I snagged one of these bad boys a while back because, you know, gotta keep track of time when you’re pretending to be an international man of mystery. Or, in my case, just trying to figure out when my buddy in Tokyo is actually awake.
First off, getting this thing set up was a bit of a head-scratcher. It’s not your grandma’s old Timex, that’s for sure. This Oakley GMT has all sorts of hands and dials. But hey, who needs instructions, right? I dove right in. After some fiddling around and a few “what the heck does this button do?” moments, I managed to get the main time set. I set it in my own time zone.
Then came the fun part – figuring out that “World City” hand. It uses the quartz movement, which I know is pretty darn accurate. Apparently, you just tweak that hand, and it magically shows you the time in different cities around the world. I spent a good chunk of time spinning that little hand around, pretending I was jet-setting from London to, uh, Karachi. Seemed to work like a charm. This watch’s got something called a “World City hand.” You set that, and boom, you know the time in different places. I tried it out with a few cities, and it was spot on.
Function Test
I even tested it out when I called my friend in Caracas – the time on the watch matched up perfectly with what he told me. Pretty cool, huh? I made sure to test this by keeping up with colleagues in exotic places like Caracas and Karachi. Turns out, they were actually awake when the watch said they should be!
Now, I know I’m not exactly exploring Oakley’s “Future Genesis” or anything fancy like that. And I definitely wasn’t thinking about their 50th anniversary when I got this watch, but let me tell you, this Oakley GMT is a solid piece of gear. I’m not one for fancy words, but this thing is really practical. Whether you’re a world traveler or just someone who likes cool gadgets, this watch does the trick. It’s like they took something simple and made it even simpler, but in a good way. I can see why they’re so popular among the folks who like to have these kinds of watches. I heard a little about it and saw that there was a Lunar New Year style, but I didn’t go for that one.
So, yeah, that’s my little adventure with the Oakley GMT. It wasn’t always smooth sailing, but I figured it out eventually. And now I’ve got a pretty sweet watch that helps me keep track of time all over the place, even if I’m just sitting on my couch. It’s a pretty neat watch. I’ve been wearing it every day, and it’s been working perfectly. It’s simple to use once you get the hang of it, and it looks pretty cool, too.
