Agreed that this is technically GMT since it shows 2 timezones rather than 24 (or even 37!) timezones. Agreed again on form follows function.

My point was that since it's GMT, but still try to look world time by having the cities ring, doesn't it break the "form follows function" code?

Since it displays the cities just for looks, and doesn't really need to, form comes first instead

Anyway, just what I think, still love and certainly wouldn't mind owning the watch lah :p

If no button, then yes the cities dial is superfluous or decorative.
But the button is there to switch between timezones easily & quickly, so the functionality of the dial is there.
