GMT watch face issue/suggestion.

The GMT watch face is beautiful but I have an issue with it. Maybe someone here can help.


I’m an airline pilot and I use UTC time a lot. I’m based in the USA and mostly fly there. Here is my issue:


I think the sunset/sunrise function (colored bezel) should show the sunrise/sunset of the timezone I’m in and not for the second timezone that is set (red hour hand). When I’m flying around it’s nice being able to reference UTC at a glance but the unfortunate side effect of this is that the sunrise/sunset colored bezel displays when the sun rises at sets in London (which 7 hours off from my timezone). I’d rather my watch face show me sunrise/sunset for my current location.


I know I can change this by changing the second time zone to my current time zone (gps arrow) but then I lose the functionality of the GMT watch. I would no longer have UTC time displayed by the red hour hand. There is no sense in having the red hour hand show me what the regular hour hand is already showing me.


If there is a way to accomplish what I’m describing I’m all ears.


I also have one suggestion for any Apple devs that might see this…I’d really like to see a couple more complications added to the GMT watch face to increase functionality.


There is a lot of blank space inside the bezel for 3 more complications like other watch faces have (wayfinder & infograph).


Thank you for your time.
